This Apple short seller is concerned about these risks
Apple (AAPL) recently reported its second-quarter earnings, surpassing analyst estimates on both revenue and profitability metrics. However, not all investors are bullish on the stock, even after the tech giant announced a staggering $110 billion share buyback program. Joining Catalysts is Bireme Capital Co-founder and Chief Investment Officer Evan Tindell, who has taken a short position on Apple's stock. Tindell believes that risks ranging from fluctuating demand in China to potential antitrust concerns "are reflected in that premium valuation" for Apple. As the company explores integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into its smartphones, he notes, "It will be interesting to see" if this endeavor can truly materialize into a substantial earnings driver or upstart a replacement cycle for their devices. Despite the company's announcement of a $110 billion share buyback program, Tindell remains skeptical, asserting that this move does not accurately reflect the company's valuation multiples. "I think if you hold Apple long-term, you're likely to make a positive return," Tindell tells Yahoo Finance. "I just think the risks are to the downside in the next year or two."

Apple's AI products aren't convincing just yet: Analyst
Shares of Apple (AAPL) are rising after the tech company announced that will execute a record $110 billion share buyback program. While once considered a part of the Magnificent Seven tech stocks, some analysts are beginning to sour on the tech giant after a lackluster 2024 performance thus far. Rosenblatt Securities Managing Director Barton Crockett joins Catalysts to explain his bearish position behind Apple and why the iPhone maker will need to deliver more than a couple of announcements before changing his mind. "They said that AI will be in all of their products. What matters is the details, and what matters is do they have a device in AI, a device that's compelling? It's one thing to say you have an AI device, it's another thing to deliver some use case that consumers want," Crockett affirms. "Our survey work would tell us that there is an appetite. Consumers are interested in AI capabilities. And you know, in their minds, conceptually, that can be a reason to buy hardware."
