Consistent Earnings Beats
Apple Inc. (AAPL) has exceeded earnings per share (EPS) estimates in 10 out of the last 12 reported quarters, indicating robust operational execution and profitability management.
Attractive P/E Ratio relative to Growth
With a trailing P/E ratio of 33.30 and an EPS growth rate of 6.42 (implied from EPS TTm), the forward P/E ratio suggests potential for value if growth expectations are met. The P/S ratio of 10.1, while high, reflects strong brand value and market position.
High Price-to-Sales Ratio
Apple's Price-to-Sales (P/S) ratio of 10.1 (TTM) is significantly higher than many industry peers, suggesting that its valuation may be stretched and sensitive to any slowdown in revenue growth.
Slowing Revenue Growth Trajectory
While annual revenue for FY2024 is projected at $391.035 billion, the net margin of 24.0% in the latest reported period (2024Q3 annual data) indicates a potential slowdown in growth compared to previous years.
