AAPL is expected to rise further due to high search interest signaling increased sales and buying, outweighing the caution from analyst targets below current price.

It's crazy to think of saying this, but five trillion dollars. This is what Apple has achieved , and I remember when I was young and we were looking at the first company to reach a value of one trillion dollars,

Now we're looking at a trillion? This is nothing, is it? We have a five trillion dollar company and a completely new CEO. Is Apple stock still one of the best stocks to buy right now?

I have a trade in Apple stock that has risen by 157%. Do you own any Apple stock?

Let 's review the basics and everything you need to know to see if Apple has a chance with its upcoming foldable phones. Apple's stock jumped from ninth to second place in the list of most searched stocks last month. Why? Because of the phone, man. It's the phone.

It touched a valuation of five trillion dollars in July, and within 24 days, John...Terness? Terence? He will present his report on the first quarter as CEO. We have a new leader there.

The average price target of 44 analysts is lower than the stock's closing price tonight. Did you hear what I just said? The average price target of 44 analysts is lower than the stock's closing price.

but when you look at Apple and say that many analysts believe its value should be lower, wow.

$340.42 is the closing price, I should have said yesterday. I prepared this last night. An increase of 38.8% over the past twelve months. And 25.6% so far in 2026. It continues to grow at a very good pace.

And you know, Warren Buffett made this his first investment. He invested in it with all his might, with all the strength he possessed. He has started reducing his stake, but man, it's still one of his biggest investments.

The $ 5 trillion mark was reached on July 28. 5 trillion dollars. Only the second company in history to reach this valuation. It surpassed the $4 trillion mark in October 2025. And it continues to climb higher.

On November 2nd, the new CEO's first report. What will it be like, I wonder? This gap is the only reason this video exists. Here, the average forecast of 44 analysts is 328.09.

We are at 340. We are at 340. We are about 4% higher than the analysts' 12-month target price. How wonderful.

Apple moved from ninth to second place in one month. It was right at the bottom, in ninth place. In terms of most searched terms. Nobody even cared about her. Nobody really cared.

Apple with phones. Apple with numbers. Apple with the new leadership. Apple, Apple, Apple.

Then I look at my portfolio and think, will this be good or bad for my stock? Should I sell? Or should I buy more? Or should I just keep it? That's up to each individual. Currently, I am only keeping . I love seeing that 157% increase.

Therefore , it has been receiving a lot of attention since the announcement of the phones and everything else. A foldable phone is a big deal. Apple has a new CEO and most people haven't noticed.

John Ternos took over from Tim Cook on September 1st. It's been more than a month already. Ternos, and I hope I pronounce the name correctly. Ternos rose through the ranks through hardware engineering .

He was part of the company and knew the business well. He knows the job well.

November 2nd is his first earnings report as CEO. This will happen within a month. This is the least appreciated fact about this name . Changing the CEO of a company of this size is more important than any product lifecycle, I should say.

It received far less coverage. In fact, many people didn't even know they had changed leadership.

If I asked you now in the comments, would you know? Did you know that they changed the leadership? Or did you know that they made the foldable phone? I can tell you straight away that I knew more about the foldable phone than I knew about their change to driving.

Changing the company's leadership is extremely important. The stock price is usually negatively affected by this. But not this time yet .

A year ago, the price was $245 . Apple's stock price a year ago was $245. Today, or yesterday, it closed at 340.42. Beautiful. Very beautiful. Nine months from 4 trillion to five.

That's too much. A 25% increase within nine months.

I know many people are saying, "How, Mo? How?" you guys. The population is still exploding around the world. People want these phones. You know, it still exists. They have that new technology, will it be great?

Or will it not be great? A foldable phone . I will buy it. Look, I'm not going to lie to you. I will buy it. I want a bigger screen. I love the folding feature. I will evaluate it myself.

I didn't pay attention to all those head-related devices. I didn't want it. I experienced a little motion sickness. But man, give me a slightly bigger phone, one I can fold and put in my pocket, then take out and unfold.

Let's go. Let's go. Then someone said something about the iPad. Yes , if you want to, I'll simply use the iPad. I understand that. I understand that. But you know what? I want to do everything on one device. And that's all there is to it .

Four things drove this growth, a record 20% share of the global smartphone market. They control it . Apple has always been, as you know, the best phone out there . I know people will argue with me about that. 80% of them will oppose me.

I think Apple has the best phone available. I know other phones do things that Apple can't do, but Apple has absolute elegance, programming, and security. I really love her. It's on another level.

Device prices increased in late June, and the iPhone 18 Pro was released on September 18. You know this. The Siri update is the foundation upon which the $400 goals were built.

We'll see if we reach that price target of $400.

Is Apple the best stock to buy now, or are its best days behind it ? If they launch the product and it's a huge success, let me know in the comments below. Will you buy the new foldable phone?

Would you buy Apple's new phone, even if it wasn't foldable? Because if there are a lot of people saying "Yes, I'll buy it this Christmas." It's been a few years, because it's been a few years for me.

That could be the course where you get a new product. People look and say, "Hi, my phone is two or three years old." "The time has come." They might.

The average target price is much lower, well, not much lower , but it's lower than the current price. I said about 4%. You can see that. I'm a big fan of Dan Ives, man. I have always admired Dan.

His price target is $400, I'm with you, Dan. I'm with you. I think we'll get there . We'll see. Today's price, 340. Morgan Stanley, 360. Average analyst opinion, 328. Someone must be wrong.

I think they are the analysts, all the analysts combined.

There are four reasons to be cautious. You know that I always present my two points of view when we talk about Apple's price predictions. The average consensus target is lower than the current price.

This is unusual because what you usually see is that these analysts, once the price moves, come out and change their estimates. Hello, I am changing my price target. Nobody cares .

As you know, the news cycle is just changing . As you know, they don't do that.

The law of large numbers is true at the 5 trillion level. You can't keep going up and up and up. It will never reach 20 trillion immediately, ever. Because we might get there. I remember when you said that at the trillion level , it wouldn't even reach two. Now we are at five.

And I still own the stock, man. We are doing our job. We buy and sell. I have made a lot of money from Apple over the years. I left it. I went back to her . I left it. I went back to her .

Always happy to come back. Now I have decided that I will only keep the stock. And how happy I am that I did it .

The new CEO is still unknown. We'll see what they plan to do. What is their leadership? Will it be ...? We'll see. I like that they are engineers because they have good ideas. This is good.

The revenues that optimists are paying for do not yet exist. They are betting on the future. What should the call actually offer? Good? This call, the fourth fiscal quarter results, covers the first weeks of the iPhone 18 Pro, which went on sale on September 18. back.

Directives, that's what we want to see. That's the story. Siri's question: What number at all regarding AI monetization? The $400 targets needed this and they haven't been presented.

This is the gap. We'll find out how they'll do it.

Artificial intelligence is a big part. Do you know what I see for Apple to move to the next level? You know that Tesla makes the robot, Optimus. And I look at Apple as someone who owns engineering, software, production, factories, and supply chains.

If you look at Apple, I see Apple as a real monster in home robots. And I'm talking about the serious kind. A type of cooking, cleaning, everything. We are talking about paying $50,000 for the robot.

But the robot does everything. You won't have to lift a finger for anything. The house is perfectly clean, the food is cooked, breakfast is ready, the garbage has been cleaned up , and everything like that.

Everything is done. I think people would pay what they pay for a car to buy these robots. I know I will. If you make my life easier and save me time, I will pay. Now, we know that Apple has the capability.

We don't hear much talk. Think about the next 5 to 10 years. This is not today. 5 to 10 years from now. Will you buy it and what do you expect in the first place? Something flashy like an iPhone.

You know, I expect so. That's absolutely crazy. This is what I would like to see from Apple. I hope you watch this.

Four things I am personally watching: will it exceed 341.07 before the report or not? A big deal to do, the highest closing price for this year . We will find out if we can break it.

Whether the average analyst forecast will start to rise towards the price. Typically, you will start to see these analysts come out and raise their target prices. They don't want to look weak , especially on a stock that everyone is looking for and loves, and even I was saying, man, Apple is innovating.

And I was very happy. I thought about writing a report about that. I earned 157%. It makes me a lot of money.

Any leaks of guidance or notes from the supply chains before November 2nd? And of course, my own rule is that I do not increase the size of my investment before the earnings are announced.

You know I hate betting on profits. I hate that. I absolutely hate him. It's the strangest thing in the world. You can crush earnings expectations, but if the guidance isn't good, the stock will fall.

If the stock completely misses the profits , but they provide good guidance, the stock will rise like crazy. I'm telling you, you never know where it's going to lead .

If you can't remember anything else, remember that Apple is the most searched single stock in America. It climbed seven places in one month. People care about Apple for multiple reasons, not just because of the stock.

When they talk about Apple , they want to know more about the phones; they want to know. When you see this kind of rise, I tell you that I think it means more sales. When you become almost the most searched company, that's a big deal.

This tells me that people want to know more about Apple's product line . This usually means more sales, and more buying. We see the price rising. It does not weaken, but rather grows stronger.

Therefore, I am optimistic that we will see another rise. It has touched a valuation of 5 trillion. I understand that. It can rise even higher.

Tim Cook stepped down on September 1st after 15 years. And now the old Johnny is there. Timis, Timis, did you say Ternis? Temis? I need to pronounce the last name correctly, right?

He is now the CEO. You can yell at me in the comments. I'm sure someone has already done that in this video. I'll just say John. John is there. You know, Tim, John. I like that.

Yes, that's easy. This is easy. Good. The average is 4 to 4 yards, I already told you we are less than that. On November 2nd, the old John will come out and do his job.
