Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is So Boring Buffett Bought Some
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) under Tim Cook has moved from a cutting edge tech co in to a fairly boring manufacturer.
Buffett is not a tech investor, and the fact that he has jumped in to Apple shows how non-tech Tim Cook is driving the company.
The outlook for Apple is still solid for now and the fundamentals are good but do not expect big money to go in to R&D.
Apple surged 3.7 percent following the disclosure of the Buffett stake, which comes about two and a half weeks after another prominent investor, Carl Icahn, said he had exited the US tech giant.
Apple, the world’s biggest company by market capitalization, has been under pressure as a result of slowing iPhone sales, threatening its chief revenue and profit source.
APPLE INC closed down -0.380 at 93.500. Volume was 64% below average (consolidating) and Bollinger Bands were 67% wider than normal.
