Apple: Tim Cook Exits At The Top

By -

Update - June 8, 2029

Based on news out of WWDC 2026, Apple continues to fail to deliver a functioning AI experience for the iPhone. The Siri AI now plans to work with the Google Gemini LLM on a private cloud, but the system won't reach Beta testing until later this year. 

Deepwater analyst Gene Munster 

-Craig says Siri AI in beta later this year, which explains the sell off. Investors wanted it in September. That means the real version is likely early to mid 2027. Funny that the stock actually ticked up 0.5% on the "beta later this year" update given while it's later than what they wanted, it is at least a date that investors can focus on.

The stock trades at 35x FY26 EPS targets while the company still has no real AI product.

  • Apple Inc. faces a challenging transition as Tim Cook exits and John Ternus assumes the CEO role.
  • The iPhone replacement cycle appears to be ending with the March quarter, raising concerns about future growth.
  • The tech giant still doesn't have a viable AI strategy, supported by a prediction of weak App Store revenue.
  • The stock now trades at over 31x FY26 EPS estimates, due to revenue growth lagging the stock’s nearly 1,900% rise under Cook.
Apple Inc. (AAPL) heads into the seasonally slow period with Tim Cook set to exit the CEO position now. The tech giant is not in a particularly strong operational position, with constant failures in implementing AI. My investment thesis remains ultra-bearish on the stock as the iPhone replacement cycle ends, and the future sales catalyst is unknown.

Stat of the Day: VXO hits 45 again

By -
Not hardly a week removed from hitting 45 on 9/18/08 and the market is back to this extreme level. Usually hitting the 40 level has historically been a huge buy signal for at least the next 4-6 months. Below are the times that 40 has been hit and only 2 times did it exceed 45 in the prior 20+ years until this month. Guess time will tell if this one leads to a huge rally. Date High 10/19/1987 152.48 8/24/1990 40.01 10/27/1997 40.04 8/27/1998 41.46 4/14/2000 41.53 3/22/2001 41.99 9/17/2001 47.7 7/11/2002 41.64 9/18/2008 45.81

Update - Feb. 28, 2025 Nextdoor reported another strong quarter.  Q4 Revenue of $65.23M (+17.4% Y/Y)  beats by $2.11M . Adjusted EBITDA was $3.0 million, compared to a $14.0 million loss in the year-ago period, reflecting 30 percentage points of year-over-year margin improvement. The social media company guided to weak Q1 results due to going full speed ahead with the NEXT UI updates. This is great news for  investors, but the stock is down some 30% due to the markets short-term focus.  The stock trades at near cash value of $427 million.  Originally posted on Nov. 8 Looking for a portfolio of ideas like this one?

Snap: Exclusive Engagement Isn't Enough

By -
New report shows Snap has an exclusive user base. Snap must prove the business model though plenty of revenue upside exists with monetizing existing user base. Valuation is extremely stretched despite the opportunity to grow revenues due to unconstrained operating expenses. A new report backs the thesis that  Snap  ( SNAP ) has compelling user engagement that remains sticky. Unfortunately, user engagement is only one part of an investable business model that  my research  has questioned since the IPO. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha.  Disclosure: Long TWTR.
