After GME’s -19% Single Month Slide, AAPL Looks Like the Stronger Long-Term Play
AAPL offers superior revenue growth across key periods, better profitability, and an attractive valuation.
- AAPL’s Quarterly growth came in at 5.1%, ahead of GME’s -16.9%.
- Its Last 12 Month growth was also higher at 4.9%.
- AAPL leads on profitability over both periods – LTM margin of 31.8% and 3-year average of 30.7%.
That is one way to look at stocks. Trefis High Quality Portfolio evaluates much more, and is designed to reduce stock-specific risk while giving upside exposure
