It’s great to hear that some funds have confidence in Apple. At least some investors think that low capex spending can be efficient for a company. Apple is producing decent revenue and profits and not throwing away money on risky A.I. I have no idea why so many investors are betting heavily on hyperscaler companies with high upfront debt involved and such small returns. There are going to be thousands of data centers in the U.S. and they all won’t be profitable.
calling Apple’s revenue “decent” is the understatement of the century 😅
