Apple Stock Slapped With Another Sell Rating: What to Know

The article from Kiplinger discusses a recent downgrade of Apple Inc.'s (AAPL) stock by analyst Jerome Ramel from Exane BNP Paribas, who changed his rating from "neutral" to "sell." Ramel's decision was influenced by concerns over Apple's high valuation, with the stock trading at 25 times the estimated earnings for the next 12 months, which he believes does not justify the potential growth. He also pointed out that Apple's revenue growth has been slowing, with a projected 2% growth for the current fiscal year, significantly lower than the 36% growth seen in fiscal 2021. Additionally, Ramel highlighted potential issues with Apple's supply chain, particularly in China, and the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar on Apple's international sales. Despite these concerns, Apple's stock has performed well, rising over 20% in 2023, but Ramel suggests that investors might want to consider selling or reducing their holdings due to these risk factors.
