EDITOR'S NOTE It's one of the most talked-about stocks in the market... and it's just undergone a serious downgrade. Are Apple investors in trouble? Today we're getting the opinion of Manward Press' Chief Investment Strategist Shah Gilani... With four decades of experience, Shah is a leading expert on disruptive tech stocks. So much so that Fox Business recently asked him to weigh in on Apple's troubles. [Shah on Fox Business - AAPL]( The trouble, Shah said, has to do with artificial intelligence (AI). In fact, he sees a whole crop of companies smoking Apple when it comes to incorporating AI tech. ([Hear more from Shah on the topic of AI investing - and today's best under-the-radar opportunities - here.]( But AI isn't the only thing keeping Apple down. Keep reading to see what Shah thinks about the future of one of the most commonly held stocks... - Nicole Labra, Senior Managing Editor THE SHORTEST WAY TO A RICH LIFE [This AAPL Is Full of Worms]( [Shah Gilani, Chief Investment Strategist, Manward Press]( [Shah Gilani]( It's a tale of woe... and a warning. And in the end... you won't want to take a bite of this apple. At the end of June 2023, when Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL) stock price closed above $193.42 for the first time, the company made history as the first to ever be valued at $3 trillion. But in July, Apple reversed course. It started making lower highs and lower lows in a descending channel that took the stock down to an intraday low on October 26 of $170.65. Yet the stock, along with all equity benchmarks, caught fire and rocketed higher through year-end. To the outside world, Apple's early rise in 2023 was due in part to its status as a megacap tech darling and part of the "Magnificent Seven." Its fall from late summer through October 2023 looked like profit taking on the Fed's insistent "higher for longer" narrative. And then the November-December rally that took Apple to yet another all-time (intraday) high of $199.62 was credited to a Fed reversal. The Fed's narrative went from "higher for longer" to "expect cuts in 2024." That's what investors saw on the outside. But on the inside, worms were starting to tarnish Apple's shine.

The company disappointed in its last four fiscal quarters. All of them. Revenues contracted in each of the last four quarters. And iPhone sales were underwhelming, missing in each quarter. The hoped-for "refresh" sales spike never happened, maybe because there's nothing really fresh about the iPhone 15. The company was hit with an embarrassing patent infringement suit over its alleged pilfering of the technology driving an oxygen sensor in its Apple Watch. And at the start of 2024, Apple got a downgrade from Barclays... Then another from Piper Sandler, which said that "growth rates have peaked for unit sales." Apple now has only 33 "Buy" or equivalent recommendations. Its "Magnificent Seven" cohorts have far more. Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) has 68... Meta Platforms (Nasdaq: META) has 66... Nvidia (Nasdaq: NVDA) has 59. None of the other Magnificent Seven stocks have been downgraded. Only Apple. And then there's China. Bad News Any Way You Slice It The U.S. and China are in a digital cold war. Apple's already taking flak. The U.S. is restricting advanced AI-driving chip sales to China and is successfully pressuring allied governments around the world to do the same. Hard-line pressure - including diplomatic bashing of China's biggest Apple competitor, Huawei Technologies - has been going on for years. Last summer, while the U.S. trade representative was in China, Huawei introduced its latest smartphone and iPhone competitor, the Mate 60. The slap in the face to America wasn't that the phone was sleek. It's that it was fast. It's made with new chips - not from U.S.-based Nvidia but from Chinese chipmaker SMIC. Here's one big reason Apple's iPhone sales are sliding. China is pressuring its consumers to buy Chinese-made phones. It's banning Apple phones from government agencies and state-owned and state-controlled companies. Huawei's smartphone market share in China was 11% in 2022. At the end of 2023, it was 24%. That growth came at Apple's expense... In 2022, Apple got about $74 billion, or 19%, of its total revenue from China. 2023 figures aren't out yet. But you can count on that number falling off a cliff. Apple's got worms eating it from the inside out. And its stock is going to lose its luster. Shares have minor support at $180, which is also the 200-day moving average. Below that, there's support around $166. And below that, there's support at $145. That's where the stock gathered itself back in March 2023. But the ugly possibility exists that Apple could fall as far as $120... its low level from January 3, 2023. What a difference a year makes. Apple's in trouble. You've been warned. Cheers, Shah P.S. While Apple may be having a hard time right now, I see a very bright future for tech in 2024. And that's thanks largely to AI.
