Apple Trading Alerts and Improvement Suggestions

Apple Inc generated a negative expected return over the last 90 days
The company currently holds 99.77 B in liabilities with Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio of 2.61, implying the company greatly relies on financing operations through barrowing. Apple Inc has a current ratio of 0.86, indicating that it has a negative working capital and may not be able to pay financial obligations when due. Debt can assist Apple until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Apple's shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like Apple Inc sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Apple to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Apple's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

Apple Stock Institutional Investors

Have you ever been surprised when a price of an equity instrument such as Apple is soaring high without any particular reason? This is usually happening because many institutional investors are aggressively trading Apple Inc backward and forwards among themselves. Apple's institutional investor refers to the entity that pools money to purchase Apple's securities or originate loans. Institutional investors include commercial and private banks, credit unions, insurance companies, pension funds, hedge funds, endowments, and mutual funds. Operating companies that invest excess capital in these types of assets may also be included in the term and may influence corporate governance by exercising voting rights in their investments.

Apple Greeks

Most traded equities are subject to two types of risk - systematic (i.e., market) and unsystematic (i.e., nonmarket or company-specific) risk. Unsystematic risk is the risk that events specific to Apple or Technology Hardware, Storage & Peripherals sector will adversely affect the stock's price. This type of risk can be diversified away by owning several different stocks in different industries whose stock prices have shown a small correlation to each other. On the other hand, systematic risk is the risk that Apple's price will be affected by overall stock market movements and cannot be diversified away. So, no matter how many positions you have, you cannot eliminate market risk. However, you can measure a Apple stock's historical response to market movements and buy it if you are comfortable with its volatility direction. Beta and standard deviation are two commonly used measures to help you make the right decision.

Apple Volatility Alert

Apple Inc exhibits very low volatility with skewness of 0.76 and kurtosis of 1.97. However, we advise investors to further study Apple Inc technical indicators to ensure that all market info is available and is reliable. Understanding different market volatility trends often help investors to time the market. Properly using volatility indicators enable traders to measure Apple's stock risk against market volatility during both bullish and bearish trends. The higher level of volatility that comes with bear markets can directly impact Apple's stock price while adding stress to investors as they watch their shares' value plummet. This usually forces investors to rebalance their portfolios by buying different stocks as prices fall.

Apple Implied Volatility

Apple's implied volatility exposes the market's sentiment of Apple Inc stock's possible movements over time. However, it does not forecast the overall direction of its price. In a nutshell, if Apple's implied volatility is high, the market thinks the stock has potential for high price swings in either direction. On the other hand, the low implied volatility suggests that Apple stock will not fluctuate a lot when Apple's options are near their expiration.

Apple Fundamentals Vs Peers

Comparing Apple's fundamentals to the average values of its peers is one of the most widely used and accepted methods of equity analyses. It helps to analyze Apple's direct or indirect competition across all of the common fundamentals between Apple and the related equities. This way, we can detect undervalued stocks with similar characteristics as Apple or determine the stocks which would be an excellent addition to an existing portfolio. Peer analysis of Apple's fundamental indicators could also be used in its relative valuation, which is a method of valuing Apple by comparing valuation metrics with those of similar companies.

The market value of Apple Inc is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Apple that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Apple's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Apple's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because Apple's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Apple's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.

Please note, there is a significant difference between Apple's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine Apple value by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Apple's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
