Aggressive buybacks</b></p>\n<p>Although the company's fundamental growth was great, the stock's gain was even more phenomenal. A second reason were permanent and aggressive stock buybacks by Apple. In2011, Apple had 926 million shares outstanding, according to the quarterly report from June. Adjusted for the two stock splits, the number should have increased to 25.93 bn. shares. Surprisingly, Apple had just 16.63 bn. shares outstanding at the end of June 2021, which means that share count was reduced by nearly 36% in just one decade. The buybacks definitely contributed to the stock's stellar performance, but the higher the stock climbed over the years, the more Apple had to pay to buy back shares. The buybacks are reflected in the company's balance sheet which has worsened significantly.</p>\n<table>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td><b>2011</b></td>\n   <td><b>2012</b></td>\n   <td><b>2013</b></td>\n   <td><b>2014</b></td>\n   <td><b>2015</b></td>\n   <td><b>2016</b></td>\n   <td><b>2017</b></td>\n   <td><b>2018</b></td>\n   <td><b>2019</b></td>\n   <td><b>2020</b></td>\n   <td><b>2021</b></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><b>Equity (bn.

However, the deterioration of the balance sheet hasn't had an impact yet on Apple's power to generate and increase revenues and earnings. With $95 bn. net income this year, Apple shows a return on equity (ROE) of 148% (!), a number not many companies achieve. So while the balance sheet is nothing to worry about in regard to Apple's business, it will have an impact on the company's ability to buy back shares. Even if Apple spends all its net income on buybacks (which would be a new annual buyback record), this number would just represent 3.9% of Apple's total market cap of $2.41 trillion. As a result, the company must spend more cash in the future to buy back the same percentage of shares as it did during the last ten years.</p>\n<p><b>3. Valuation</b></p>\n<p>Apple currently trades for $145 per share (as of 10/18/21) and has a total market cap of $2.41 trillion. EPS for 2021 is about $5.7, so the P/E ratio is 25.4. The P/B ratio climbed to a whopping 37.6 (which can be partly explained by buybacks). High P/B ratios are not unusual for tech companies (many patents, intangible assets and brand value do not count for equity), but the number for Apple is really extreme. Cash flow per share of around $6.5 per share results in a P/CF ratio of 22. The average EPS of the last decade was $3.2. Hence, the CAPE ratio for Apple is 45.3, a number which also indicates an ambitious valuation.</p>\n<p>All these numbers indicate that future returns are likely to be lower than the returns of the past decade.</p>\n<p><b>4. Growth perspectives and product pipeline</b></p>\n<p>In the past decade, Apple grew its net income by 13.8% annually and expects an increase of more than 66% this year. In the third quarter 2021, Apple&nbsp;increased its computer sales by 7.4%&nbsp;and increased its market share to 8.6% of worldwide sales. Smartphone sales decreased in the third quarter 2021 by 6% because of the chip shortage, but Apple&nbsp;increased its market share from 12% to 15%&nbsp;due to strong demand for the iPhone 13, which means that shipments grew by ca. 17% YoY. All in all, the market data shows that consumers strongly demand Apple products (MacBook, iPhone, iPad etc.) and also accept higher expenditures for high-quality products. However, the chip shortage will likely hurt Apple's sales in the quarters to come. Hence, it will be difficult for Apple to grow next year as revenues will take a hit. In the long term, Apple must differentiate from its competitors Samsung (OTC:SSNLF), Lenovo (OTCPK:LNVGY,OTCPK:LNVGF),HP Inc. (HPQ) andXiaomi(OTCPK:XIACF,OTCPK:XIACY) with special features and design, because some consumers (who are not pure Apple fans) will prefer price over features and design. I expect revenues to be flat next year or even lower than 2021 when the post-pandemic computer boom will flatten. The average growth rate for net income and revenue in the next decade is probably lower than in the past decade.</p>\n<p><b>5. Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>Since Apple's total market cap is already very high, it will be harder to boost share performance via buybacks. Consequently, the stock's total performance in the next decade (2022-2032) will be lower than the performance in the 2010s, especially because the stock has already outperformed Apple's fundamental performance.</p>\n<p>My conservative estimate is a net income growth rate of 5-7% p.a. and a buyback yield of just 1.5-2.0%. The earnings yield for the stock is currently 4% (P/E ratio of 25). Hence, the total annual return for the next ten years will possibly be between 5.5-9.0% which is significantly lower than the 25.4% from 2011-2021.</p>\n<p>All in all, even at a current stock price of $145 per share, shareholders can expect a positive return, but adjusted for inflation, Apple will disappoint in the future compared to the last ten years. Due to a combination of lower growth (high competition, chip shortage), a lower buyback yield and a higher inflation which will increase the company's costs, Apple's stock will no longer outperform the market despite a promising product pipeline and a loyal customer base. The share price is the most important factor for future returns, and $145 per share is currently not very attractive.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Apple: The Past Decade Can't Be Repeated</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nApple: The Past Decade Can't Be Repeated\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-10-19 10:22 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4460481-apple-stock-past-decade-cant-be-repeated><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nA return of more than 860% in 10 years made many shareholders happy.\nThis return was based on double-digit growth rates, aggressive buybacks and a solid customer base.\nHowever, slowing growth...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4460481-apple-stock-past-decade-cant-be-repeated\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4460481-apple-stock-past-decade-cant-be-repeated","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1175707103","content_text":"Summary\n\nA return of more than 860% in 10 years made many shareholders happy.\nThis return was based on double-digit growth rates, aggressive buybacks and a solid customer base.\nHowever, slowing growth, a worsened balance sheet, competition and, most important, Apple's valuation will likely lead to decreasing returns in the near future.\nEven if new products are excellent and stand out from competitors, it will be very hard to achieve similar returns for the stock.\n\nNikada/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images\n1. Looking back at an impressive decade\nApple's (AAPL) stock showed a stunning performance over the last 10 years.\nData by YCharts\nThe stock returned 861% or 25.4% annually, which is an above average return compared to the S&P 500 with just about 263%. Apple has a stunning growth record over the past decade which is one reason for the long rally. Revenues grew from $108 bn. in 2011 to expected revenues in 2021 of $365 bn. (+238%) while net income increased from $26 bn. to $95 bn. in 2021 (+265%).\n\n\n\n2011\n2012\n2013\n2014\n2015\n2016\n2017\n2018\n2019\n2020\n2021 (e)\n\n\nRevenue (bn.

Aggressive buybacks\nAlthough the company's fundamental growth was great, the stock's gain was even more phenomenal. A second reason were permanent and aggressive stock buybacks by Apple. In2011, Apple had 926 million shares outstanding, according to the quarterly report from June. Adjusted for the two stock splits, the number should have increased to 25.93 bn. shares. Surprisingly, Apple had just 16.63 bn. shares outstanding at the end of June 2021, which means that share count was reduced by nearly 36% in just one decade.

However, things change when an investor (including myself) is limited to just <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> pick. That single stock has to check off a lot of boxes, the most important of which are balancing reliability, longevity, and above-average growth. That's a pretty tall order these days.</p>\n<p>There are a few companies out there of this ilk though, and my favorite all-weather name among them is<b> Microsoft</b> (NASDAQ:MSFT).</p>\n<p>Surprised? I get it. The company is seemingly dependent on just one highly competitive and often-cyclical technology business -- software, and its Windows operating systems in particular. The stock's also uncomfortably expensive right now, valued at more than 33 times this year's projected profits and more than 29 times next year's earnings estimates.. With a closer look though, you'll find that Microsoft is so much more than just Windows, and that this stock easily justifies its premium price.</p>\n<h3>Several ways to make money, and they all work</h3>\n<p>Its roots may have been in software sales. But, don't think for a minute this company hasn't evolved into an organization relevant to all of today's most important markets.</p>\n<p>The graphic below tells the tale, depicting recently ended fiscal 2021's results. No single business unit accounts for more than about one-third of Microsoft's revenue or profits. Indeed, the company's top and bottom lines are amazingly well distributed across all three of its key operating segments.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6dc5da28f57d0e1ea35fcc3088e841f4\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"423\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Data source: Microsoft. Chart by author.</p>\n<p>And this image still doesn't quite do the bullish thesis its full justice.</p>\n<p>Within the Productivity and Business Processes arm you'll find commercial and consumer office productivity software revenue -- think \"Office\" software suites -- as well as LinkedIn. The Intelligent Cloud unit not only offers products needed to power servers, but it also includes Azure software that allows cloud computing managers to interface with their hardware. More Personal Computing covers everything from the aforementioned Windows operating system to video gaming to laptops like the Surface. All told, Microsoft manages 14 distinctly different businesses. That gives the company plenty of opportunities to sell something to somebody at any given time, smoothing out any temporary headwinds faced by any one of its units.</p>\n<p>And don't look past the fact that Microsoft already enjoys a commanding control of the computer operating system market; GlobalStats' statcounter indicates that Windows is installed on 76% of the world's desktops and laptops. Already the centerpiece of most corporate and consumer computing environments, Microsoft is not only positioned as a gatekeeper, but a go-to app and software vendor. This positioning helps the company maintain its leading market share, as does the world's familiarity with Windows itself.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9301e6d5d0a8701d14e0f3fac4791232\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<p>Bolstering the bullish agreement here is the less appreciated factoid that much of this revenue is the result of subscriptions to services like Xbox Game Pass, Office 365, and Azure.</p>\n<p>While the company itself isn't terribly forthcoming with the specifics, Microsoft confirmed during its most recent earnings call that its commercial (non-consumer) businesses are sitting on $141 billion worth of \"remaining performance obligations,\" up 32% year over year. That just means these clients have already agreed to purchase services, but the company can't yet book that revenue since the service itself has yet to be delivered. For perspective, Microsoft did $168.1 billion worth of business during fiscal 2021.</p>\n<h3>Look for more growth from Microsoft</h3>\n<p>The end result of all these dynamics is a company that's been growing reliably in a variety of ways for a variety of reasons. This <i>isn't</i> the proverbial one-trick pony it was 25 years ago, when Windows was at the core of everything the company did and one-time sales of software were the norm.</p>\n<p>As evidence of how brilliant this evolution has been, one only has to look at the company's past and projected fiscals. The analyst community is calling for revenue growth of 14% this year and nearly 13% next year, matched by comparable per-share earnings growth for the two-year stretch... and why not?

However, things change when an investor (including myself) is limited to just one pick. That single stock has to check off a lot of boxes, the most important of which are balancing reliability, longevity, and above-average growth. That's a pretty tall order these days.\nThere are a few companies out there of this ilk though, and my favorite all-weather name among them is Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT).\nSurprised? I get it. The company is seemingly dependent on just one highly competitive and often-cyclical technology business -- software, and its Windows operating systems in particular. The stock's also uncomfortably expensive right now, valued at more than 33 times this year's projected profits and more than 29 times next year's earnings estimates.. With a closer look though, you'll find that Microsoft is so much more than just Windows, and that this stock easily justifies its premium price.\nSeveral ways to make money, and they all work\nIts roots may have been in software sales. But, don't think for a minute this company hasn't evolved into an organization relevant to all of today's most important markets.\nThe graphic below tells the tale, depicting recently ended fiscal 2021's results. No single business unit accounts for more than about one-third of Microsoft's revenue or profits. Indeed, the company's top and bottom lines are amazingly well distributed across all three of its key operating segments.\n\nData source: Microsoft. Chart by author.\nAnd this image still doesn't quite do the bullish thesis its full justice.\nWithin the Productivity and Business Processes arm you'll find commercial and consumer office productivity software revenue -- think \"Office\" software suites -- as well as LinkedIn. The Intelligent Cloud unit not only offers products needed to power servers, but it also includes Azure software that allows cloud computing managers to interface with their hardware. More Personal Computing covers everything from the aforementioned Windows operating system to video gaming to laptops like the Surface. All told, Microsoft manages 14 distinctly different businesses. That gives the company plenty of opportunities to sell something to somebody at any given time, smoothing out any temporary headwinds faced by any one of its units.\nAnd don't look past the fact that Microsoft already enjoys a commanding control of the computer operating system market; GlobalStats' statcounter indicates that Windows is installed on 76% of the world's desktops and laptops. Already the centerpiece of most corporate and consumer computing environments, Microsoft is not only positioned as a gatekeeper, but a go-to app and software vendor. This positioning helps the company maintain its leading market share, as does the world's familiarity with Windows itself.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nBolstering the bullish agreement here is the less appreciated factoid that much of this revenue is the result of subscriptions to services like Xbox Game Pass, Office 365, and Azure.\nWhile the company itself isn't terribly forthcoming with the specifics, Microsoft confirmed during its most recent earnings call that its commercial (non-consumer) businesses are sitting on $141 billion worth of \"remaining performance obligations,\" up 32% year over year. That just means these clients have already agreed to purchase services, but the company can't yet book that revenue since the service itself has yet to be delivered. For perspective, Microsoft did $168.1 billion worth of business during fiscal 2021.\nLook for more growth from Microsoft\nThe end result of all these dynamics is a company that's been growing reliably in a variety of ways for a variety of reasons. This isn't the proverbial one-trick pony it was 25 years ago, when Windows was at the core of everything the company did and one-time sales of software were the norm.\nAs evidence of how brilliant this evolution has been, one only has to look at the company's past and projected fiscals. The analyst community is calling for revenue growth of 14% this year and nearly 13% next year, matched by comparable per-share earnings growth for the two-year stretch... and why not? We've lived without the cloud, mobile computing, and high-performance video games before; but, now that the world has gotten used to having all of these tech-based offerings around, people aren't apt to regress now.\n\nData source: Thomson Reuters. Chart by author.\nBottom line? The dots aren't too terribly tough to connect. While Microsoft faces competition on all fronts, somehow it still seems to be operating with a wide moat that keeps those competitors in check.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":789,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":804624628,"gmtCreate":1627955102264,"gmtModify":1633754927960,"author":{"id":"3577945319352371","authorId":"3577945319352371","name":"R2D2","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0b82ed09a21fdbec2d56ea0aca3b5342","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577945319352371","authorIdStr":"3577945319352371"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Follow her for the new new things","listText":"Follow her for the new new things","text":"Follow her for the new new things","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/804624628","repostId":"1141584423","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":237,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":804626714,"gmtCreate":1627955004138,"gmtModify":1633754929348,"author":{"id":"3577945319352371","authorId":"3577945319352371","name":"R2D2","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0b82ed09a21fdbec2d56ea0aca3b5342","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577945319352371","authorIdStr":"3577945319352371"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"All the best to them in their personal lives.

Well, for one thing, there's theongoing trialquestioning the propriety of its $2.6 billion acquisition of SolarCity in 2016. Plaintiffs in the case allege that CEO Elon Musk put his own financial interests ahead of those of Tesla's shareholders. That's obviously not a good look for the company.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Wall Street is still digesting the import of recent pricing moves, and of Tesla's weekend rollout of \"FSD v.9.0 Beta,\" the latest iteration of the software that's supposed to help make Tesla cars autonomous and usher in an age of robo-taxis.</p>\n<p>In a note it put out Tuesday morning, Goldman Sachs asserted that increased sales and higher prices on Teslas sold will help the company earn an above-consensus $5 a share in 2021. On the other hand, notesTheFly.com, Goldman does worry thatchip shortagesin theautomotive industrycould curtail Tesla's production numbers this quarter.

And Microsoft may go higher yet.</p>\n<p>Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives this past week reiterated his Outperform rating on the software giant, lifting his price target on the shares to $325 from $310. That represents a potential gain of more than 20%, which would take the company’s market value to $2.4 trillion. His enthusiasm for the stock is driven by Microsoft’s cloud business, Azure.</p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Microsoft shares inched up 0.1% to $265.79, a new high, boosting its market cap to $2.004 trillion.

Surprisingly, Apple had just 16.63 bn. shares outstanding at the end of June 2021, which means that share count was reduced by nearly 36% in just one decade. The buybacks definitely contributed to the stock's stellar performance, but the higher the stock climbed over the years, the more Apple had to pay to buy back shares. The buybacks are reflected in the company's balance sheet which has worsened significantly.</p>\n<table>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td><b>2011</b></td>\n   <td><b>2012</b></td>\n   <td><b>2013</b></td>\n   <td><b>2014</b></td>\n   <td><b>2015</b></td>\n   <td><b>2016</b></td>\n   <td><b>2017</b></td>\n   <td><b>2018</b></td>\n   <td><b>2019</b></td>\n   <td><b>2020</b></td>\n   <td><b>2021</b></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><b>Equity (bn.

However, the deterioration of the balance sheet hasn't had an impact yet on Apple's power to generate and increase revenues and earnings. With $95 bn. net income this year, Apple shows a return on equity (ROE) of 148% (!), a number not many companies achieve. So while the balance sheet is nothing to worry about in regard to Apple's business, it will have an impact on the company's ability to buy back shares. Even if Apple spends all its net income on buybacks (which would be a new annual buyback record), this number would just represent 3.9% of Apple's total market cap of $2.41 trillion. As a result, the company must spend more cash in the future to buy back the same percentage of shares as it did during the last ten years.</p>\n<p><b>3. Valuation</b></p>\n<p>Apple currently trades for $145 per share (as of 10/18/21) and has a total market cap of $2.41 trillion. EPS for 2021 is about $5.7, so the P/E ratio is 25.4. The P/B ratio climbed to a whopping 37.6 (which can be partly explained by buybacks). High P/B ratios are not unusual for tech companies (many patents, intangible assets and brand value do not count for equity), but the number for Apple is really extreme. Cash flow per share of around $6.5 per share results in a P/CF ratio of 22. The average EPS of the last decade was $3.2. Hence, the CAPE ratio for Apple is 45.3, a number which also indicates an ambitious valuation.</p>\n<p>All these numbers indicate that future returns are likely to be lower than the returns of the past decade.</p>\n<p><b>4. Growth perspectives and product pipeline</b></p>\n<p>In the past decade, Apple grew its net income by 13.8% annually and expects an increase of more than 66% this year. In the third quarter 2021, Apple&nbsp;increased its computer sales by 7.4%&nbsp;and increased its market share to 8.6% of worldwide sales. Smartphone sales decreased in the third quarter 2021 by 6% because of the chip shortage, but Apple&nbsp;increased its market share from 12% to 15%&nbsp;due to strong demand for the iPhone 13, which means that shipments grew by ca. 17% YoY. All in all, the market data shows that consumers strongly demand Apple products (MacBook, iPhone, iPad etc.) and also accept higher expenditures for high-quality products. However, the chip shortage will likely hurt Apple's sales in the quarters to come. Hence, it will be difficult for Apple to grow next year as revenues will take a hit. In the long term, Apple must differentiate from its competitors Samsung (OTC:SSNLF), Lenovo (OTCPK:LNVGY,OTCPK:LNVGF),HP Inc. (HPQ) andXiaomi(OTCPK:XIACF,OTCPK:XIACY) with special features and design, because some consumers (who are not pure Apple fans) will prefer price over features and design. I expect revenues to be flat next year or even lower than 2021 when the post-pandemic computer boom will flatten. The average growth rate for net income and revenue in the next decade is probably lower than in the past decade.</p>\n<p><b>5. Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>Since Apple's total market cap is already very high, it will be harder to boost share performance via buybacks. Consequently, the stock's total performance in the next decade (2022-2032) will be lower than the performance in the 2010s, especially because the stock has already outperformed Apple's fundamental performance.</p>\n<p>My conservative estimate is a net income growth rate of 5-7% p.a. and a buyback yield of just 1.5-2.0%. The earnings yield for the stock is currently 4% (P/E ratio of 25). Hence, the total annual return for the next ten years will possibly be between 5.5-9.0% which is significantly lower than the 25.4% from 2011-2021.</p>\n<p>All in all, even at a current stock price of $145 per share, shareholders can expect a positive return, but adjusted for inflation, Apple will disappoint in the future compared to the last ten years. Due to a combination of lower growth (high competition, chip shortage), a lower buyback yield and a higher inflation which will increase the company's costs, Apple's stock will no longer outperform the market despite a promising product pipeline and a loyal customer base. The share price is the most important factor for future returns, and $145 per share is currently not very attractive.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Apple: The Past Decade Can't Be Repeated</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nApple: The Past Decade Can't Be Repeated\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-10-19 10:22 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4460481-apple-stock-past-decade-cant-be-repeated><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nA return of more than 860% in 10 years made many shareholders happy.\nThis return was based on double-digit growth rates, aggressive buybacks and a solid customer base.\nHowever, slowing growth...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4460481-apple-stock-past-decade-cant-be-repeated\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4460481-apple-stock-past-decade-cant-be-repeated","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1175707103","content_text":"Summary\n\nA return of more than 860% in 10 years made many shareholders happy.\nThis return was based on double-digit growth rates, aggressive buybacks and a solid customer base.\nHowever, slowing growth, a worsened balance sheet, competition and, most important, Apple's valuation will likely lead to decreasing returns in the near future.\nEven if new products are excellent and stand out from competitors, it will be very hard to achieve similar returns for the stock.\n\nNikada/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images\n1. Looking back at an impressive decade\nApple's (AAPL) stock showed a stunning performance over the last 10 years.\nData by YCharts\nThe stock returned 861% or 25.4% annually, which is an above average return compared to the S&P 500 with just about 263%. Apple has a stunning growth record over the past decade which is one reason for the long rally. Revenues grew from $108 bn. in 2011 to expected revenues in 2021 of $365 bn. (+238%) while net income increased from $26 bn. to $95 bn. in 2021 (+265%).\n\n\n\n2011\n2012\n2013\n2014\n2015\n2016\n2017\n2018\n2019\n2020\n2021 (e)\n\n\nRevenue (bn.

Aggressive buybacks\nAlthough the company's fundamental growth was great, the stock's gain was even more phenomenal. A second reason were permanent and aggressive stock buybacks by Apple. In2011, Apple had 926 million shares outstanding, according to the quarterly report from June. Adjusted for the two stock splits, the number should have increased to 25.93 bn. shares. Surprisingly, Apple had just 16.63 bn. shares outstanding at the end of June 2021, which means that share count was reduced by nearly 36% in just one decade. The buybacks definitely contributed to the stock's stellar performance, but the higher the stock climbed over the years, the more Apple had to pay to buy back shares. The buybacks are reflected in the company's balance sheet which has worsened significantly.\n\n\n\n2011\n2012\n2013\n2014\n2015\n2016\n2017\n2018\n2019\n2020\n2021\n\n\nEquity (bn.

However, the deterioration of the balance sheet hasn't had an impact yet on Apple's power to generate and increase revenues and earnings. With $95 bn. net income this year, Apple shows a return on equity (ROE) of 148% (!), a number not many companies achieve. So while the balance sheet is nothing to worry about in regard to Apple's business, it will have an impact on the company's ability to buy back shares. Even if Apple spends all its net income on buybacks (which would be a new annual buyback record), this number would just represent 3.9% of Apple's total market cap of $2.41 trillion. As a result, the company must spend more cash in the future to buy back the same percentage of shares as it did during the last ten years.\n3.

If Tesla isn't able to sell as many higher-priced Model S and Model X cars as Wall Street expects, that could weigh on profits.\nNow what\nRumors of a price hike on the FSD feature (which some speculate could rise from $10,000 currently to $14,000) could help boost Tesla's profits, of course. On the other hand, in a note released Monday, analysts at Citigroup warned that as far as autonomous driving goes, the new FSD software \"doesn't appear very different than\" the software that preceded it, and certainly falls short of the level of independence that would permit transforming Teslas into robo-taxis, as Musk has predicted.\nIn short, even with share prices down 24% from their highs earlier this year, Citi sees Tesla stock as overpriced. Unlike Goldman Sachs, which thinks Tesla is a \"buy,\" Citi still argues it's a \"sell\" -- and worthno more than $175 a share.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":367,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":124517788,"gmtCreate":1624772358144,"gmtModify":1633948761449,"author":{"id":"3577945319352371","authorId":"3577945319352371","name":"R2D2","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0b82ed09a21fdbec2d56ea0aca3b5342","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577945319352371","authorIdStr":"3577945319352371"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍","listText":"👍","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/124517788","repostId":"1104974895","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1104974895","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1624764940,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1104974895?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-27 11:35","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Microsoft Rides Its Cloud Business to a $2 Trillion Market Cap.

Regardless of whether the market crashes in 2022 or not, a solid portfolio will ensure you're as prepared as possible.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":964,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":859673509,"gmtCreate":1634695422901,"gmtModify":1634695460205,"author":{"id":"3577945319352371","authorId":"3577945319352371","name":"R2D2","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0b82ed09a21fdbec2d56ea0aca3b5342","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577945319352371","authorIdStr":"3577945319352371"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"SG portfolio can also include other stocks","listText":"SG portfolio can also include other stocks","text":"SG portfolio can also include other stocks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/859673509","repostId":"850959840","repostType":1,"repost":{"id":850959840,"gmtCreate":1634547374677,"gmtModify":1634692327646,"author":{"id":"3479274814931736","authorId":"3479274814931736","name":"keke006","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/picture182","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3479274814931736","authorIdStr":"3479274814931736"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"If this empire fall, I willing go together... just hold your breath, foresee 20% return shouldn’t be problem, anytime better than current FD rate, isn’t it?<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/G13.SI\">$GENTING SINGAPORE LIMITED(G13.SI)$</a>","listText":"If this empire fall, I willing go together... just hold your breath, foresee 20% return shouldn’t be problem, anytime better than current FD rate, isn’t it?<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/G13.SI\">$GENTING SINGAPORE LIMITED(G13.SI)$</a>","text":"If this empire fall, I willing go together... just hold your breath, foresee 20% return shouldn’t be problem, anytime better than current FD rate, isn’t it?$GENTING SINGAPORE LIMITED(G13.SI)$","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":2,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/850959840","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":0,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":727,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":865891602,"gmtCreate":1632965463016,"gmtModify":1632965525499,"author":{"id":"3577945319352371","authorId":"3577945319352371","name":"R2D2","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0b82ed09a21fdbec2d56ea0aca3b5342","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577945319352371","authorIdStr":"3577945319352371"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Had this stock.","listText":"Had this stock.","text":"Had this stock.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/865891602","repostId":"2171626987","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2171626987","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1632964620,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2171626987?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-30 09:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"If I Could Buy Only 1 Stock, This Would Be It","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2171626987","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Taking away the option to diversify changes what matters most, but it's still possible to find great all-purpose and all-weather picks.","content":"<blockquote>\n <b>Taking away the option to diversify changes what matters most, but it's still possible to find great all-purpose and all-weather picks.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>Key Points</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Technology companies are increasingly benefiting from subscription-based revenue, which is more reliable and predictable.</li>\n <li>Microsoft's revenue streams are far more diversified than most investors may realize.</li>\n <li>The analyst community believes Microsoft's offering and portfolio will translate into revenue growth going forward as well as it has in the recent past.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>It's easy to suggest individual stocks to a crowd of investors knowing those names will only make up part of their diversified portfolios.

But if the economy faces another downturn, will the central bank be backed into short-term borrowing rates below zero?</p>\n<p>In aUBS surveyof almost 30 central banks around the world, 21% of respondents said they could see the Fed turning to negative interest rates if needed.</p>\n<p>The concern: With U.S. short-term rates yet again backed up at near-zero, a Fed that may beslower to raise interest rateswill not have the room to again cut rates in the next crisis.</p>\n<p>But Fed officials, who managed to avoid the tool through an economic shutdown of unprecedented scale, have made it clear that negative interest rates are low on their lists of preferred policy tools.</p>\n<p>“Negative rates I think have a worse cost-benefit relationship than the other tools that we have,” New York Fed President John Williams told reporters on Monday morning.</p>\n<p>AnOctober 2019 discussionof negative rates noted that all of the Fed’s policy-setting members disliked the idea of implementing the policy in the U.S.</p>\n<p>“The committee’s view on negative rates really has not changed.

But if the economy faces another downturn, will the central bank be backed into short-term borrowing rates below zero?\nIn aUBS surveyof almost 30 central banks around the world, 21% of respondents said they could see the Fed turning to negative interest rates if needed.\nThe concern: With U.S. short-term rates yet again backed up at near-zero, a Fed that may beslower to raise interest rateswill not have the room to again cut rates in the next crisis.\nBut Fed officials, who managed to avoid the tool through an economic shutdown of unprecedented scale, have made it clear that negative interest rates are low on their lists of preferred policy tools.\n“Negative rates I think have a worse cost-benefit relationship than the other tools that we have,” New York Fed President John Williams told reporters on Monday morning.\nAnOctober 2019 discussionof negative rates noted that all of the Fed’s policy-setting members disliked the idea of implementing the policy in the U.S.\n“The committee’s view on negative rates really has not changed. This is not something we’re looking at,” Powell said in May 2020.\nStill, the central bank hasn’t explicitly ruled out its possible use in the future.\n‘Rather stay out of that game’\nNegative interest rate policies, such as those deployed by the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan, attempt to stimulate the economy by penalizing banks for parking money at the central bank.
