Apple Is Priced Like Everything Has To Go Right: It Just Might

Summary I am bullish on Apple, and the last two quarters gave me more reason to defend my bull case. The iPhone 17 cycle is even stronger than I expected, and China is no longer stagnant. That said, I still need WWDC to give me real and specific Siri dates, eligible devices, languages, China handling, and beta availability. To be crystal clear, I want management to rent AI smartly, not burn cash in AI foundational models, copying the likes of Meta. I stay bullish, but at 35x earnings, but Apple now needs a clean Siri rollout to justify the next leg of the bull run. Any negative headlines during WWDC26 may lead me to downgrade.

Is Intel Still Investable At $60?

INTC Primer: No Equity Dilution Necessary (Part 1) When I first wrote about INTC (link above), the stock was trading at around $20. At the time, Intel could do no right — Pat Gelsinger was fired, Foundry was eating up precious cash flow, the dividend was cut — it was a perfect storm of unfortunate events.

Alphabet Owns The Entire AI Stack And Is The Largest Pure Play Option For Investors

Summary Alphabet (GOOGL) delivered a blowout Q1 2026, with $109.9B revenue (+22% YoY) and $39.7B operating income (+30% YoY), decisively refuting the bear thesis. GOOGL’s Cloud segment accelerated to 63% YoY growth, tripling segment profit and building a $460B+ backlog, signaling multi-year visibility and margin expansion. Search and AI monetization remain robust, with Search queries at all-time highs, 19% YoY growth, and Gemini/AI subscriptions scaling rapidly across consumer and enterprise. I am upgrading GOOGL to bullish, citing resilient core businesses, accelerating Cloud, visible AI monetization, and a forward valuation that remains attractive relative to peers.
