Apple's Prognosis: Range-Bound

Apple ( AAPL) became the largest holding in my portfolio this summer when the shares fell to under $400 a
share. I added to my original position as the stock had become deeply undervalued. In the succeeding six
months, the stock rewarded my faith significantly by advancing some 40%. The rise was powered by the
release of new versions of the iPhone and iPad as well as signing two significant carriers (China Mobile
( CHL) & NTT Docomo ( NTT)).

I miss those days. Apple is still a good value at ~13x this year's expected earnings, a discount to overall

market multiple (~15x). The tech company also should see revenues increases in the 5% to 7% range this
year, above the 4% sales increase expected for the S&P 500 in 2014. This does not take into account the
~$160B the company has in net cash and marketable securities or its 2.2% dividend yield.

However, the shares are not even close to how cheap they were at $400 a share when they were selling at

single digit price earnings ratios even including cash. For the last three months, the shares have been fairly
range bound (See Chart).
