David Rolfe presented his in-depth investment thesis on Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) at Best Ideas 2017.
Apple is Wedgewood’s largest holding of 21 positions and a continuous holding since late 2005. David’s investment thesis is based on (i) unappreciated iPhone growth in 2017-2018; (ii) underappreciated services growth; (iii) an underappreciated services margin structure; (iv) underappreciated ecosystem growth; (v) underappreciated accretive share repurchases, particularly if a repatriation bill passes; and (vi) a cheap valuation, particularly when taking into account net cash.
