Apple: 3 Reasons Why The Stock Could Trade Higher

Apple has outperformed for decades, but the company is arguably still a bargain. I present three arguments why I believe Apple shares could trade considerably higher within the next 12-36 months. New market opportunities including (1) VR/AR and the Apple Car, (2) accelerating strength in Apple's service portfolio, and (3) continued financial engineering. I value AAPL shares based on a residual earnings framework and calculate a fair base-case target price of $247.51/share, implying upside of >75%.

Freeport-McMoRan - Buy The Dip

Freeport-McMoRan is a copper company, and copper is susceptible to economic closures and economic worry. The company has dramatically improved its financial position from the last downturn, and we expect markets to rebound quickly. The company can generate double-digit FCF in 2023-2024 at current prices, and the decline represents a short-term buyback opportunity. Overall, we recommend taking advantage of the dip in Freeport-McMoRan's share price.

UnitedHealth Group: Hold Through Times Of Uncertainty

UNH has shown to be resistant to the effect of rising prices, both during and after inflationary periods. The inelastic demand for the company's services make it a good pick for a recession, as seen by its exceptional performance during the Great Recession. The stock has much higher valuation multiples than its competitors and appears to be overvalued at the current share price.
