As the new year begins, one stock stands out as my absolute favorite: Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). Here are three reasons I believe this is an excellent investment. 1. Valuation has entered bargain territory, 2. Apple knows how to launch blockbuster products and Dividends and share repurchases offer long-term stability.
Sure, Apple isn't the screaming buy it was when I called it a "dividend investor's dream stock" in 2013. Since then, shares have soared about 66%, nearly tripling the S&P 500's 23% rise during this period. But -- even after rising so sharply -- there's still solid value in Apple stock. Pairing Apple's track record of bringing new, successful products to market with its wildly loyal customer base, it's likely that the company's concentrated product portfolio will continue to fair well. In Apple's case, a dividend and a share repurchase program are both signs of the company's extraordinary financial health; and they truly are enhancing intrinsic value for shareholders.
