Apple are overvalued. They have without a doubt done very well for themselves but they rely on loyalty to a brand and that is something that usually doesn't last forever.


Actually, Apple is undervalued. Their price to earnings ratio keeps falling and falling, even while they maintain growth of 50-100% year after year.

Current P/E: about 14

Pre- iPhone P/E: about 30

The disparity gets worse if you exclude the value of Apple's cash pile.

Excuses are made about Steve Jobs' health and the threat of Android, but the real reason for the undervaluation is that Apple is growing so fast and making so much money that the market can't even believe it.
