Show Notes

Laura Martin from Needham explains why she downgraded Apple (AAPL) to Hold from Buy. “There’s real risks to their earnings,” she emphasizes, with the Epic Games judgment against them and other DOJ threats. She also discusses OpenAI’s burgeoning efforts to “replace smartphones,” partnering with Jony Ive, who used to design all of Apple’s phones. Even though Apple has a moat, she says that doesn’t prevent demise, only slows it. “This stock doesn’t work” without an iPhone cycle this year, she argues.
