In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.\nApple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.\nWhy Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory\nDividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.\nSource: Seeking Alphadividend yield\nHere we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.\nThe reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.\nSource: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018\nThat is exactly what happened. At the peak of 2018 Apple’s dividend yield was 1.28%. At this time, Apple’s 5-year yield average was 1.86%. When 2018 ended Apple’s dividend yield was 1.97%. As you can now see, a company’s dividend yield can be a good proxy for value.\nThis Time Is not different\nI know some of you at this point are thinking, well, Dividend Yield Theory is nice and all but thanks to Covid this time is different. I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.\nIt is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus. Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.\nSource: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*\nAs we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products. Further down products are identified as the iPhone, Mac, iPad, Wearables, Home & Accessories.\n\nAgain the iPhone makes up the majority. The high growth rate in iPhone sales also backs up the theory that this round of growth is due to the Apple super cycle which seems to take place once every 3 years.\nSource: Seeking Alpha Financials, compiled by author\nThe pattern for the last 10 years has been 1 year of stellar growth followed by 2 years of much slower growth. As you can see this results in a 10-year CAGR of ~10% - 13% depending on where we are in the cycle.\nSource: Apple2017 10-K\nHere we see the 2015 super cycle followed by the growth declines in 2016 and 2017.\nSource: Apple2020 10-K\nAgain it happened in the more recent super cycle of 2018 followed by declines in growth for years 2019 and 2020.\nWhen we look into the revenue by product for these periods, we can see that iPhone sales decline and the other categories are unable to make up for the loss of revenue the next year. In the following year, 2017 and 2020, other sources of revenue increased enough for Apple’s total revenue to increase.\n\nPatterns are likely to repeat until something happens to change them. I don't see such a catalyst on the horizon, and currently iPhone sales are again carrying Apple’s revenue to record levels. iPhone sales seem to be selling so well because of the coming transition to 5G and many iPhone owners have a device that is at least 3 years old.\nThe iPhone 12 was unveiled and released in October 2020. This means the super cycle is expected to end with the iPhone 13 which is expected to come out in September or October. I believe this indicates FY 2022 will be a rough year for Apple shareholders.\nApple’s Third And Final Act - A Cash Cow\nInvestors need to pay attention to Apple’s future as a dividend aristocrat. Apple is transitioning toward more service based revenues. This is a higher margin business but there is less explosive innovation, meaning growth will decline.\nAt the current share price, investors are “locking in” a targeted return of 9% over the next 10 years based on some optimistic assumptions.\n\nGrowth of 19.3% for the first 5 years followed by 12% growth for the second five years.\nAn expected dividend growth rate of 17.5%\nApple reverts to their historic P/E of 21.\n\nAll of that together means Apple’s share price in 10 years will be $293.47 and the dividend will be at $4.43 a share giving existing shareholders a yield of 1.5% which is much closer to their current 5-year average yield.\nApple’s dividend payout ratio is currently 15.86%. Other companies in the IT sector like Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intuit (INTU) have a payout ratio of 51% and 25% respectively which shows Apple’s dividends will be much higher in the coming years. With a projected EPS of $14 in 2031 a 51% payout would mean a dividend of $7/sh.\nRisk and Opportunity, The Dividend increase\nBased on the 5 year average dividend yield and the current rate of dividend increases, it is likely the dividend will be increased to $1.03-$1.14. In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.\nThe expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.\nSource: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement\nLastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple. If the current 2021 yield average of 0.63% becomes the new normal, Apple’s share price should rise to $163.49 - $180.95 based on my projected dividend increase.\nConclusion\nSell Apple, take your profits now. The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[{"id":804033629,"gmtCreate":1627911465161,"gmtModify":1631888876184,"author":{"id":"3579482809178950","authorId":"3579482809178950","name":"Dawang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d0f01f2346125f600328ffd48beb3a4c","vip":1,"crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3579482809178950","idStr":"3579482809178950"},"htmlText":"Never too late to buy Apple shares 🍎","listText":"Never too late to buy Apple shares 🍎","text":"Never too late to buy Apple shares 🍎","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/804033629","repostId":1130492644,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1130492644","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627867792,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1130492644?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-02 09:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1130492644","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nDividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy","content":"Summary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Dividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy companies.</li> <li>Apple’s current high growth is temporary.</li> <li>Apple is on its way to becoming a dividend aristocrat.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e45c69c559fb64f9cda12fb93f34c0d\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1097\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Christopher Jue/Getty Images Entertainment<blockquote><ul><li>股息收益率理论是健康公司股票高估和低估的重要指标。</li><li>苹果目前的高增长是暂时的。</li><li>苹果正在成为股息贵族。</li></ul>克里斯托弗·觉/盖蒂图片社娱乐公司</blockquote> Investment Thesis<blockquote>投资论文</blockquote> Investors are treating Apple (AAPL) as if it has found a second growth spurt.

Apple is transitioning toward more service based revenues.

Other companies in the IT sector like Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intuit (INTU) have a payout ratio of 51% and 25% respectively which shows Apple’s dividends will be much higher in the coming years. With a projected EPS of $14 in 2031 a 51% payout would mean a dividend of $7/sh.<blockquote>苹果目前的股息支付率为15.86%。德州仪器(TXN)和Intuit(INTU)等IT行业的其他公司的派息率分别为51%和25%，这表明苹果未来几年的股息将高得多。预计2031年每股收益为14美元，51%的派息意味着每股7美元的股息。</blockquote> Risk and Opportunity, The Dividend increase<blockquote>风险与机遇，股息增加</blockquote> Based on the 5 year average dividend yield and the current rate of dividend increases, it is likely the dividend will be increased to $1.03-$1.14. In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.<blockquote>根据5年平均股息收益率和当前股息增长率，股息可能会增加至1.03-1.14美元。为了让苹果在预计的未来股息中维持其历史收益率，苹果股价必须在80美元左右。苹果有可能支付并将股息提高至1.89美元。苹果在2020年的股息上花费了140亿美元，将股息提高到1.89美元将使股价达到310亿美元。这将使他们的派息率提高到34%，这是现金牛公司的典型派息率。</blockquote> The expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.<blockquote>预期股息I项目基于股息占经营现金流的百分比。在过去的3年里，这一比例从15%到18%不等。我估计使用了1001.5亿美元的运营现金流，按19%计算，您将获得1.14美元的股息。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/153079186d84770e064411e34a42745e\" tg-width=\"304\" tg-height=\"74\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement<blockquote>资料来源：Seeking Alpha现金流量表</blockquote> Lastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple. If the current 2021 yield average of 0.63% becomes the new normal, Apple’s share price should rise to $163.49 - $180.95 based on my projected dividend increase.<blockquote>最后，低于1%的股息收益率有可能成为苹果的常态。如果目前2021年0.63%的平均收益率成为新常态，根据我预计的股息增长，苹果的股价应该会上涨至163.49美元至180.95美元。</blockquote> Conclusion<blockquote>结论</blockquote> Sell Apple, take your profits now. The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.<blockquote>卖出苹果，立即获利了结。超级周期将结束。稍后再来，等股息收益率较高时折价买入苹果。</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Apple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nApple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nseekingalpha2021-08-02 09:29\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\nSummary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Dividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy companies.</li> <li>Apple’s current high growth is temporary.</li> <li>Apple is on its way to becoming a dividend aristocrat.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e45c69c559fb64f9cda12fb93f34c0d\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1097\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Christopher Jue/Getty Images Entertainment<blockquote><ul><li>股息收益率理论是健康公司股票高估和低估的重要指标。</li><li>苹果目前的高增长是暂时的。</li><li>苹果正在成为股息贵族。</li></ul>克里斯托弗·觉/盖蒂图片社娱乐公司</blockquote> Investment Thesis<blockquote>投资论文</blockquote> Investors are treating Apple (AAPL) as if it has found a second growth spurt. In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.<blockquote>投资者对待苹果（AAPL）就好像它已经找到了第二次增长。事实上，苹果现在是一头完全长大的摇钱树，而不是一头初露头角的小牛。疫情让许多公司比他们希望的更快地过渡到互联网。这对苹果来说是件好事，但由于它在大流行之前就已经是一家成熟的企业，因此它将恢复到大流行前的正常增长率。</blockquote> Apple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.<blockquote>苹果2016年至2020年的5年平均股息率为1.46%，目前苹果的股息率为0.68%。苹果已支付股息近10年，平均收益率约为1.4%。为了让苹果提供这样的收益率，股价必须下跌至75美元至85美元的范围。现在是时候在苹果利润恢复到均值之前获利了结了。</blockquote> Why Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory<blockquote>为什么苹果被高估，股息收益率理论</blockquote> Dividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.<blockquote>股息收益率理论是由投资质量趋势创始人杰拉尔丁·韦斯通过一本名为《股息不要说谎》的书推广的。股息收益率理论的本质是，高质量的公司往往具有“正常”的收益率，随着市场爱上或不爱上该公司，股息收益率会波动以创造买卖机会。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a469d363e933b84759428285f957590\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking Alphadividend yield<blockquote>资料来源：寻求阿尔法股息收益率</blockquote> Here we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.<blockquote>这里我们有苹果的股息收益率历史。查看平均收益率栏可以看到，苹果目前的平均收益率是自苹果首次开始支付股息以来的最低水平。这表明苹果是一个尖叫出售。另一方面，苹果平均收益率上一次高于2%是在2016年。当时，苹果是一个令人尖叫的买家。巧合的是，同年Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)开始购买苹果股票。</blockquote> The reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.<blockquote>之所以有效，是因为股息收益率是股价的乘积。看上图，你可以看到2016年到2018年股息收益率下降，这表明苹果的股价上涨。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/991e5d3137bf5ac3c9bc4aaf26c01581\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018<blockquote>资料来源：雅虎财经，2016年1月1日至2018年12月31日苹果股价</blockquote> That is exactly what happened. At the peak of 2018 Apple’s dividend yield was 1.28%. At this time, Apple’s 5-year yield average was 1.86%. When 2018 ended Apple’s dividend yield was 1.97%. As you can now see, a company’s dividend yield can be a good proxy for value.<blockquote>这正是发生的事情。2018年峰值时，苹果的股息收益率为1.28%。此时，苹果5年期收益率平均值为1.86%。2018年底，苹果的股息收益率为1.97%。正如您现在所看到的，公司的股息收益率可以很好地代表价值。</blockquote> This Time Is not different<blockquote>这次也不例外</blockquote> I know some of you at this point are thinking, well, Dividend Yield Theory is nice and all but thanks to Covid this time is different. I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.<blockquote>我知道你们中的一些人现在在想，股息收益率理论很好，但多亏了新冠疫情，这次不同了。我不认为这一次对苹果来说有什么不同，原因是因为苹果在大流行之前就已经成熟了。</blockquote> It is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus. Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.<blockquote>诚然，苹果和许多其他科技公司都从疫情中受益，但苹果与Shopify、Zoom和Disney Plus有很大不同。也就是说，苹果已经在很大程度上渗透了其整个目标市场。在疫情之前，我们大多数人从未听说过Zoom。我们开始在家工作，需要一个远程通信的解决方案，bam Zoom利用了这一点。在疫情之前，iPhone仍然是值得击败的智能手机，拥有数千万用户的智能手机，是远至中国的必备身份象征。2012年我在中国留学了一个学期。那段时间，我的教授告诉我们，身份象征对中国人有多重要。所有年龄段的学生在父母给他们买iPhone之前都不会去上学，因为没有它他们会丢脸。许多人负担不起电话套餐，我和我的朋友目睹了许多人拥有iPhone只是为了炫耀。那是在2012年，比疫情大流行早了8年。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ae87be3f096ac0a13d2e38634b8c34c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"310\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*<blockquote>资料来源：苹果2021年第三季度*涵盖2021年4月至6月*</blockquote> As we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products.

In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.<blockquote>根据5年平均股息收益率和当前股息增长率，股息可能会增加至1.03-1.14美元。为了让苹果在预计的未来股息中维持其历史收益率，苹果股价必须在80美元左右。苹果有可能支付并将股息提高至1.89美元。苹果在2020年的股息上花费了140亿美元，将股息提高到1.89美元将使股价达到310亿美元。这将使他们的派息率提高到34%，这是现金牛公司的典型派息率。</blockquote> The expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.<blockquote>预期股息I项目基于股息占经营现金流的百分比。在过去的3年里，这一比例从15%到18%不等。我估计使用了1001.5亿美元的运营现金流，按19%计算，您将获得1.14美元的股息。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/153079186d84770e064411e34a42745e\" tg-width=\"304\" tg-height=\"74\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement<blockquote>资料来源：Seeking Alpha现金流量表</blockquote> Lastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple.

In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.\nApple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.\nWhy Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory\nDividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.\nSource: Seeking Alphadividend yield\nHere we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.\nThe reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.\nSource: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018\nThat is exactly what happened. At the peak of 2018 Apple’s dividend yield was 1.28%. At this time, Apple’s 5-year yield average was 1.86%. When 2018 ended Apple’s dividend yield was 1.97%. As you can now see, a company’s dividend yield can be a good proxy for value.\nThis Time Is not different\nI know some of you at this point are thinking, well, Dividend Yield Theory is nice and all but thanks to Covid this time is different. I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.\nIt is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus. Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.\nSource: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*\nAs we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products. Further down products are identified as the iPhone, Mac, iPad, Wearables, Home & Accessories.\n\nAgain the iPhone makes up the majority. The high growth rate in iPhone sales also backs up the theory that this round of growth is due to the Apple super cycle which seems to take place once every 3 years.\nSource: Seeking Alpha Financials, compiled by author\nThe pattern for the last 10 years has been 1 year of stellar growth followed by 2 years of much slower growth. As you can see this results in a 10-year CAGR of ~10% - 13% depending on where we are in the cycle.\nSource: Apple2017 10-K\nHere we see the 2015 super cycle followed by the growth declines in 2016 and 2017.\nSource: Apple2020 10-K\nAgain it happened in the more recent super cycle of 2018 followed by declines in growth for years 2019 and 2020.\nWhen we look into the revenue by product for these periods, we can see that iPhone sales decline and the other categories are unable to make up for the loss of revenue the next year. In the following year, 2017 and 2020, other sources of revenue increased enough for Apple’s total revenue to increase.\n\nPatterns are likely to repeat until something happens to change them. I don't see such a catalyst on the horizon, and currently iPhone sales are again carrying Apple’s revenue to record levels. iPhone sales seem to be selling so well because of the coming transition to 5G and many iPhone owners have a device that is at least 3 years old.\nThe iPhone 12 was unveiled and released in October 2020. This means the super cycle is expected to end with the iPhone 13 which is expected to come out in September or October. I believe this indicates FY 2022 will be a rough year for Apple shareholders.\nApple’s Third And Final Act - A Cash Cow\nInvestors need to pay attention to Apple’s future as a dividend aristocrat. Apple is transitioning toward more service based revenues. This is a higher margin business but there is less explosive innovation, meaning growth will decline.\nAt the current share price, investors are “locking in” a targeted return of 9% over the next 10 years based on some optimistic assumptions.\n\nGrowth of 19.3% for the first 5 years followed by 12% growth for the second five years.\nAn expected dividend growth rate of 17.5%\nApple reverts to their historic P/E of 21.\n\nAll of that together means Apple’s share price in 10 years will be $293.47 and the dividend will be at $4.43 a share giving existing shareholders a yield of 1.5% which is much closer to their current 5-year average yield.\nApple’s dividend payout ratio is currently 15.86%. Other companies in the IT sector like Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intuit (INTU) have a payout ratio of 51% and 25% respectively which shows Apple’s dividends will be much higher in the coming years. With a projected EPS of $14 in 2031 a 51% payout would mean a dividend of $7/sh.\nRisk and Opportunity, The Dividend increase\nBased on the 5 year average dividend yield and the current rate of dividend increases, it is likely the dividend will be increased to $1.03-$1.14. In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.\nThe expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%.

If the current 2021 yield average of 0.63% becomes the new normal, Apple’s share price should rise to $163.49 - $180.95 based on my projected dividend increase.\nConclusion\nSell Apple, take your profits now. The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":805263930,"gmtCreate":1627884262720,"gmtModify":1631891074153,"author":{"id":"3565436016441263","authorId":"3565436016441263","name":"Mokku","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9e4e094f64e75e5e8f16841e19e65316","vip":1,"crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3565436016441263","idStr":"3565436016441263"},"htmlText":"Dnt trick retailers to sell valuable stocks.&nbsp;","listText":"Dnt trick retailers to sell valuable stocks.&nbsp;","text":"Dnt trick retailers to sell valuable stocks.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/805263930","repostId":1130492644,"repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1130492644","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627867792,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1130492644?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-02 09:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1130492644","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nDividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy","content":"Summary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Dividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy companies.</li> <li>Apple’s current high growth is temporary.</li> <li>Apple is on its way to becoming a dividend aristocrat.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e45c69c559fb64f9cda12fb93f34c0d\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1097\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Christopher Jue/Getty Images Entertainment<blockquote><ul><li>股息收益率理论是健康公司股票高估和低估的重要指标。</li><li>苹果目前的高增长是暂时的。</li><li>苹果正在成为股息贵族。</li></ul>克里斯托弗·觉/盖蒂图片社娱乐公司</blockquote> Investment Thesis<blockquote>投资论文</blockquote> Investors are treating Apple (AAPL) as if it has found a second growth spurt.

In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.<blockquote>根据5年平均股息收益率和当前股息增长率，股息可能会增加至1.03-1.14美元。为了让苹果在预计的未来股息中维持其历史收益率，苹果股价必须在80美元左右。苹果有可能支付并将股息提高至1.89美元。苹果在2020年的股息上花费了140亿美元，将股息提高到1.89美元将使股价达到310亿美元。这将使他们的派息率提高到34%，这是现金牛公司的典型派息率。</blockquote> The expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.<blockquote>预期股息I项目基于股息占经营现金流的百分比。在过去的3年里，这一比例从15%到18%不等。我估计使用了1001.5亿美元的运营现金流，按19%计算，您将获得1.14美元的股息。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/153079186d84770e064411e34a42745e\" tg-width=\"304\" tg-height=\"74\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement<blockquote>资料来源：Seeking Alpha现金流量表</blockquote> Lastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple. If the current 2021 yield average of 0.63% becomes the new normal, Apple’s share price should rise to $163.49 - $180.95 based on my projected dividend increase.<blockquote>最后，低于1%的股息收益率有可能成为苹果的常态。如果目前2021年0.63%的平均收益率成为新常态，根据我预计的股息增长，苹果的股价应该会上涨至163.49美元至180.95美元。</blockquote> Conclusion<blockquote>结论</blockquote> Sell Apple, take your profits now. The super cycle will end.

In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.<blockquote>投资者对待苹果（AAPL）就好像它已经找到了第二次增长。事实上，苹果现在是一头完全长大的摇钱树，而不是一头初露头角的小牛。疫情让许多公司比他们希望的更快地过渡到互联网。这对苹果来说是件好事，但由于它在大流行之前就已经是一家成熟的企业，因此它将恢复到大流行前的正常增长率。</blockquote> Apple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.<blockquote>苹果2016年至2020年的5年平均股息率为1.46%，目前苹果的股息率为0.68%。苹果已支付股息近10年，平均收益率约为1.4%。为了让苹果提供这样的收益率，股价必须下跌至75美元至85美元的范围。现在是时候在苹果利润恢复到均值之前获利了结了。</blockquote> Why Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory<blockquote>为什么苹果被高估，股息收益率理论</blockquote> Dividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.<blockquote>股息收益率理论是由投资质量趋势创始人杰拉尔丁·韦斯通过一本名为《股息不要说谎》的书推广的。股息收益率理论的本质是，高质量的公司往往具有“正常”的收益率，随着市场爱上或不爱上该公司，股息收益率会波动以创造买卖机会。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a469d363e933b84759428285f957590\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking Alphadividend yield<blockquote>资料来源：寻求阿尔法股息收益率</blockquote> Here we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.<blockquote>这里我们有苹果的股息收益率历史。查看平均收益率栏可以看到，苹果目前的平均收益率是自苹果首次开始支付股息以来的最低水平。这表明苹果是一个尖叫出售。另一方面，苹果平均收益率上一次高于2%是在2016年。当时，苹果是一个令人尖叫的买家。巧合的是，同年Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)开始购买苹果股票。</blockquote> The reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.<blockquote>之所以有效，是因为股息收益率是股价的乘积。看上图，你可以看到2016年到2018年股息收益率下降，这表明苹果的股价上涨。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/991e5d3137bf5ac3c9bc4aaf26c01581\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018<blockquote>资料来源：雅虎财经，2016年1月1日至2018年12月31日苹果股价</blockquote> That is exactly what happened. At the peak of 2018 Apple’s dividend yield was 1.28%. At this time, Apple’s 5-year yield average was 1.86%. When 2018 ended Apple’s dividend yield was 1.97%. As you can now see, a company’s dividend yield can be a good proxy for value.<blockquote>这正是发生的事情。2018年峰值时，苹果的股息收益率为1.28%。此时，苹果5年期收益率平均值为1.86%。2018年底，苹果的股息收益率为1.97%。正如您现在所看到的，公司的股息收益率可以很好地代表价值。</blockquote> This Time Is not different<blockquote>这次也不例外</blockquote> I know some of you at this point are thinking, well, Dividend Yield Theory is nice and all but thanks to Covid this time is different. I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.<blockquote>我知道你们中的一些人现在在想，股息收益率理论很好，但多亏了新冠疫情，这次不同了。我不认为这一次对苹果来说有什么不同，原因是因为苹果在大流行之前就已经成熟了。</blockquote> It is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus. Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.<blockquote>诚然，苹果和许多其他科技公司都从疫情中受益，但苹果与Shopify、Zoom和Disney Plus有很大不同。也就是说，苹果已经在很大程度上渗透了其整个目标市场。在疫情之前，我们大多数人从未听说过Zoom。我们开始在家工作，需要一个远程通信的解决方案，bam Zoom利用了这一点。在疫情之前，iPhone仍然是值得击败的智能手机，拥有数千万用户的智能手机，是远至中国的必备身份象征。2012年我在中国留学了一个学期。那段时间，我的教授告诉我们，身份象征对中国人有多重要。所有年龄段的学生在父母给他们买iPhone之前都不会去上学，因为没有它他们会丢脸。许多人负担不起电话套餐，我和我的朋友目睹了许多人拥有iPhone只是为了炫耀。那是在2012年，比疫情大流行早了8年。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ae87be3f096ac0a13d2e38634b8c34c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"310\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*<blockquote>资料来源：苹果2021年第三季度*涵盖2021年4月至6月*</blockquote> As we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products.

Apple is transitioning toward more service based revenues. This is a higher margin business but there is less explosive innovation, meaning growth will decline.<blockquote>投资者需要关注苹果作为股息贵族的未来。苹果正在向更多基于服务的收入转型。这是一项利润率较高的业务，但爆炸性创新较少，这意味着增长将会下降。</blockquote> At the current share price, investors are “locking in” a targeted return of 9% over the next 10 years based on some optimistic assumptions.<blockquote>以目前的股价，投资者基于一些乐观的假设，“锁定”了未来10年9%的目标回报率。</blockquote> <ul> <li>Growth of 19.3% for the first 5 years followed by 12% growth for the second five years.</li> <li>An expected dividend growth rate of 17.5%</li> <li>Apple reverts to their historic P/E of 21.</li> </ul> All of that together means Apple’s share price in 10 years will be $293.47 and the dividend will be at $4.43 a share giving existing shareholders a yield of 1.5% which is much closer to their current 5-year average yield.<blockquote><ul><li>前5年增长19.3%，第二个5年增长12%。</li><li>预期股息增长率为17.5%</li><li>苹果恢复到21的历史市盈率。</li></ul>所有这些加在一起意味着苹果10年后的股价将为293.47美元，股息将为每股4.43美元，现有股东的收益率为1.5%，更接近他们当前的5年平均收益率。</blockquote> Apple’s dividend payout ratio is currently 15.86%.

As you can see this results in a 10-year CAGR of ~10% - 13% depending on where we are in the cycle.\nSource: Apple2017 10-K\nHere we see the 2015 super cycle followed by the growth declines in 2016 and 2017.\nSource: Apple2020 10-K\nAgain it happened in the more recent super cycle of 2018 followed by declines in growth for years 2019 and 2020.\nWhen we look into the revenue by product for these periods, we can see that iPhone sales decline and the other categories are unable to make up for the loss of revenue the next year. In the following year, 2017 and 2020, other sources of revenue increased enough for Apple’s total revenue to increase.\n\nPatterns are likely to repeat until something happens to change them. I don't see such a catalyst on the horizon, and currently iPhone sales are again carrying Apple’s revenue to record levels. iPhone sales seem to be selling so well because of the coming transition to 5G and many iPhone owners have a device that is at least 3 years old.\nThe iPhone 12 was unveiled and released in October 2020. This means the super cycle is expected to end with the iPhone 13 which is expected to come out in September or October. I believe this indicates FY 2022 will be a rough year for Apple shareholders.\nApple’s Third And Final Act - A Cash Cow\nInvestors need to pay attention to Apple’s future as a dividend aristocrat. Apple is transitioning toward more service based revenues. This is a higher margin business but there is less explosive innovation, meaning growth will decline.\nAt the current share price, investors are “locking in” a targeted return of 9% over the next 10 years based on some optimistic assumptions.\n\nGrowth of 19.3% for the first 5 years followed by 12% growth for the second five years.\nAn expected dividend growth rate of 17.5%\nApple reverts to their historic P/E of 21.\n\nAll of that together means Apple’s share price in 10 years will be $293.47 and the dividend will be at $4.43 a share giving existing shareholders a yield of 1.5% which is much closer to their current 5-year average yield.\nApple’s dividend payout ratio is currently 15.86%. Other companies in the IT sector like Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intuit (INTU) have a payout ratio of 51% and 25% respectively which shows Apple’s dividends will be much higher in the coming years. With a projected EPS of $14 in 2031 a 51% payout would mean a dividend of $7/sh.\nRisk and Opportunity, The Dividend increase\nBased on the 5 year average dividend yield and the current rate of dividend increases, it is likely the dividend will be increased to $1.03-$1.14. In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.\nThe expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.\nSource: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement\nLastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple. If the current 2021 yield average of 0.63% becomes the new normal, Apple’s share price should rise to $163.49 - $180.95 based on my projected dividend increase.\nConclusion\nSell Apple, take your profits now. The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":805827361,"gmtCreate":1627871194353,"gmtModify":1631883986207,"author":{"id":"3582251507094110","authorId":"3582251507094110","name":"天财寻者","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a116dd3fd41662cd330b47aee6b7082","vip":1,"crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3582251507094110","idStr":"3582251507094110"},"htmlText":"Do have a decent growth profit from this stock.

In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.<blockquote>投资者对待苹果（AAPL）就好像它已经找到了第二次增长。事实上，苹果现在是一头完全长大的摇钱树，而不是一头初露头角的小牛。疫情让许多公司比他们希望的更快地过渡到互联网。这对苹果来说是件好事，但由于它在大流行之前就已经是一家成熟的企业，因此它将恢复到大流行前的正常增长率。</blockquote> Apple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.<blockquote>苹果2016年至2020年的5年平均股息率为1.46%，目前苹果的股息率为0.68%。苹果已支付股息近10年，平均收益率约为1.4%。为了让苹果提供这样的收益率，股价必须下跌至75美元至85美元的范围。现在是时候在苹果利润恢复到均值之前获利了结了。</blockquote> Why Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory<blockquote>为什么苹果被高估，股息收益率理论</blockquote> Dividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.<blockquote>股息收益率理论是由投资质量趋势创始人杰拉尔丁·韦斯通过一本名为《股息不要说谎》的书推广的。股息收益率理论的本质是，高质量的公司往往具有“正常”的收益率，随着市场爱上或不爱上该公司，股息收益率会波动以创造买卖机会。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a469d363e933b84759428285f957590\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking Alphadividend yield<blockquote>资料来源：寻求阿尔法股息收益率</blockquote> Here we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.<blockquote>这里我们有苹果的股息收益率历史。查看平均收益率栏可以看到，苹果目前的平均收益率是自苹果首次开始支付股息以来的最低水平。这表明苹果是一个尖叫出售。另一方面，苹果平均收益率上一次高于2%是在2016年。当时，苹果是一个令人尖叫的买家。巧合的是，同年Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)开始购买苹果股票。</blockquote> The reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.<blockquote>之所以有效，是因为股息收益率是股价的乘积。看上图，你可以看到2016年到2018年股息收益率下降，这表明苹果的股价上涨。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/991e5d3137bf5ac3c9bc4aaf26c01581\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018<blockquote>资料来源：雅虎财经，2016年1月1日至2018年12月31日苹果股价</blockquote> That is exactly what happened. At the peak of 2018 Apple’s dividend yield was 1.28%. At this time, Apple’s 5-year yield average was 1.86%. When 2018 ended Apple’s dividend yield was 1.97%. As you can now see, a company’s dividend yield can be a good proxy for value.<blockquote>这正是发生的事情。2018年峰值时，苹果的股息收益率为1.28%。此时，苹果5年期收益率平均值为1.86%。2018年底，苹果的股息收益率为1.97%。正如您现在所看到的，公司的股息收益率可以很好地代表价值。</blockquote> This Time Is not different<blockquote>这次也不例外</blockquote> I know some of you at this point are thinking, well, Dividend Yield Theory is nice and all but thanks to Covid this time is different. I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.<blockquote>我知道你们中的一些人现在在想，股息收益率理论很好，但多亏了新冠疫情，这次不同了。我不认为这一次对苹果来说有什么不同，原因是因为苹果在大流行之前就已经成熟了。</blockquote> It is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus. Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.<blockquote>诚然，苹果和许多其他科技公司都从疫情中受益，但苹果与Shopify、Zoom和Disney Plus有很大不同。也就是说，苹果已经在很大程度上渗透了其整个目标市场。在疫情之前，我们大多数人从未听说过Zoom。我们开始在家工作，需要一个远程通信的解决方案，bam Zoom利用了这一点。在疫情之前，iPhone仍然是值得击败的智能手机，拥有数千万用户的智能手机，是远至中国的必备身份象征。2012年我在中国留学了一个学期。那段时间，我的教授告诉我们，身份象征对中国人有多重要。所有年龄段的学生在父母给他们买iPhone之前都不会去上学，因为没有它他们会丢脸。许多人负担不起电话套餐，我和我的朋友目睹了许多人拥有iPhone只是为了炫耀。那是在2012年，比疫情大流行早了8年。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ae87be3f096ac0a13d2e38634b8c34c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"310\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*<blockquote>资料来源：苹果2021年第三季度*涵盖2021年4月至6月*</blockquote> As we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products.

Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.<blockquote>苹果2016年至2020年的5年平均股息率为1.46%，目前苹果的股息率为0.68%。苹果已支付股息近10年，平均收益率约为1.4%。为了让苹果提供这样的收益率，股价必须下跌至75美元至85美元的范围。现在是时候在苹果利润恢复到均值之前获利了结了。</blockquote> Why Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory<blockquote>为什么苹果被高估，股息收益率理论</blockquote> Dividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.<blockquote>股息收益率理论是由投资质量趋势创始人杰拉尔丁·韦斯通过一本名为《股息不要说谎》的书推广的。股息收益率理论的本质是，高质量的公司往往具有“正常”的收益率，随着市场爱上或不爱上该公司，股息收益率会波动以创造买卖机会。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a469d363e933b84759428285f957590\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking Alphadividend yield<blockquote>资料来源：寻求阿尔法股息收益率</blockquote> Here we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.<blockquote>这里我们有苹果的股息收益率历史。查看平均收益率栏可以看到，苹果目前的平均收益率是自苹果首次开始支付股息以来的最低水平。这表明苹果是一个尖叫出售。另一方面，苹果平均收益率上一次高于2%是在2016年。当时，苹果是一个令人尖叫的买家。巧合的是，同年Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)开始购买苹果股票。</blockquote> The reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.<blockquote>之所以有效，是因为股息收益率是股价的乘积。看上图，你可以看到2016年到2018年股息收益率下降，这表明苹果的股价上涨。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/991e5d3137bf5ac3c9bc4aaf26c01581\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018<blockquote>资料来源：雅虎财经，2016年1月1日至2018年12月31日苹果股价</blockquote> That is exactly what happened.

I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.<blockquote>我知道你们中的一些人现在在想，股息收益率理论很好，但多亏了新冠疫情，这次不同了。我不认为这一次对苹果来说有什么不同，原因是因为苹果在大流行之前就已经成熟了。</blockquote> It is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus. Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.<blockquote>诚然，苹果和许多其他科技公司都从疫情中受益，但苹果与Shopify、Zoom和Disney Plus有很大不同。也就是说，苹果已经在很大程度上渗透了其整个目标市场。在疫情之前，我们大多数人从未听说过Zoom。我们开始在家工作，需要一个远程通信的解决方案，bam Zoom利用了这一点。在疫情之前，iPhone仍然是值得击败的智能手机，拥有数千万用户的智能手机，是远至中国的必备身份象征。2012年我在中国留学了一个学期。那段时间，我的教授告诉我们，身份象征对中国人有多重要。所有年龄段的学生在父母给他们买iPhone之前都不会去上学，因为没有它他们会丢脸。许多人负担不起电话套餐，我和我的朋友目睹了许多人拥有iPhone只是为了炫耀。那是在2012年，比疫情大流行早了8年。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ae87be3f096ac0a13d2e38634b8c34c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"310\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*<blockquote>资料来源：苹果2021年第三季度*涵盖2021年4月至6月*</blockquote> As we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products.

Other companies in the IT sector like Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intuit (INTU) have a payout ratio of 51% and 25% respectively which shows Apple’s dividends will be much higher in the coming years. With a projected EPS of $14 in 2031 a 51% payout would mean a dividend of $7/sh.<blockquote>苹果目前的股息支付率为15.86%。德州仪器(TXN)和Intuit(INTU)等IT行业的其他公司的派息率分别为51%和25%，这表明苹果未来几年的股息将高得多。预计2031年每股收益为14美元，51%的派息意味着每股7美元的股息。</blockquote> Risk and Opportunity, The Dividend increase<blockquote>风险与机遇，股息增加</blockquote> Based on the 5 year average dividend yield and the current rate of dividend increases, it is likely the dividend will be increased to $1.03-$1.14. In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.<blockquote>根据5年平均股息收益率和当前股息增长率，股息可能会增加至1.03-1.14美元。为了让苹果在预计的未来股息中维持其历史收益率，苹果股价必须在80美元左右。苹果有可能支付并将股息提高至1.89美元。苹果在2020年的股息上花费了140亿美元，将股息提高到1.89美元将使股价达到310亿美元。这将使他们的派息率提高到34%，这是现金牛公司的典型派息率。</blockquote> The expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.<blockquote>预期股息I项目基于股息占经营现金流的百分比。在过去的3年里，这一比例从15%到18%不等。我估计使用了1001.5亿美元的运营现金流，按19%计算，您将获得1.14美元的股息。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/153079186d84770e064411e34a42745e\" tg-width=\"304\" tg-height=\"74\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement<blockquote>资料来源：Seeking Alpha现金流量表</blockquote> Lastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple. If the current 2021 yield average of 0.63% becomes the new normal, Apple’s share price should rise to $163.49 - $180.95 based on my projected dividend increase.<blockquote>最后，低于1%的股息收益率有可能成为苹果的常态。如果目前2021年0.63%的平均收益率成为新常态，根据我预计的股息增长，苹果的股价应该会上涨至163.49美元至180.95美元。</blockquote> Conclusion<blockquote>结论</blockquote> Sell Apple, take your profits now. The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.<blockquote>卖出苹果，立即获利了结。超级周期将结束。稍后再来，等股息收益率较高时折价买入苹果。</blockquote>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n 来源：<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4443676-apple-take-your-profits-before-its-too-late\">seekingalpha</a>\n为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4443676-apple-take-your-profits-before-its-too-late","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1130492644","content_text":"Summary\n\nDividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy companies.\nApple’s current high growth is temporary.\nApple is on its way to becoming a dividend aristocrat.\n\nChristopher Jue/Getty Images Entertainment\nInvestment Thesis\nInvestors are treating Apple (AAPL) as if it has found a second growth spurt.

Apple is transitioning toward more service based revenues.

Other companies in the IT sector like Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intuit (INTU) have a payout ratio of 51% and 25% respectively which shows Apple’s dividends will be much higher in the coming years. With a projected EPS of $14 in 2031 a 51% payout would mean a dividend of $7/sh.<blockquote>苹果目前的股息支付率为15.86%。德州仪器(TXN)和Intuit(INTU)等IT行业的其他公司的派息率分别为51%和25%，这表明苹果未来几年的股息将高得多。预计2031年每股收益为14美元，51%的派息意味着每股7美元的股息。</blockquote> Risk and Opportunity, The Dividend increase<blockquote>风险与机遇，股息增加</blockquote> Based on the 5 year average dividend yield and the current rate of dividend increases, it is likely the dividend will be increased to $1.03-$1.14. In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.<blockquote>根据5年平均股息收益率和当前股息增长率，股息可能会增加至1.03-1.14美元。为了让苹果在预计的未来股息中维持其历史收益率，苹果股价必须在80美元左右。苹果有可能支付并将股息提高至1.89美元。苹果在2020年的股息上花费了140亿美元，将股息提高到1.89美元将使股价达到310亿美元。这将使他们的派息率提高到34%，这是现金牛公司的典型派息率。</blockquote> The expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.<blockquote>预期股息I项目基于股息占经营现金流的百分比。在过去的3年里，这一比例从15%到18%不等。我估计使用了1001.5亿美元的运营现金流，按19%计算，您将获得1.14美元的股息。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/153079186d84770e064411e34a42745e\" tg-width=\"304\" tg-height=\"74\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement<blockquote>资料来源：Seeking Alpha现金流量表</blockquote> Lastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple. If the current 2021 yield average of 0.63% becomes the new normal, Apple’s share price should rise to $163.49 - $180.95 based on my projected dividend increase.<blockquote>最后，低于1%的股息收益率有可能成为苹果的常态。如果目前2021年0.63%的平均收益率成为新常态，根据我预计的股息增长，苹果的股价应该会上涨至163.49美元至180.95美元。</blockquote> Conclusion<blockquote>结论</blockquote> Sell Apple, take your profits now. The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.<blockquote>卖出苹果，立即获利了结。超级周期将结束。稍后再来，等股息收益率较高时折价买入苹果。</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Apple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nApple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nseekingalpha2021-08-02 09:29\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\nSummary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Dividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy companies.</li> <li>Apple’s current high growth is temporary.</li> <li>Apple is on its way to becoming a dividend aristocrat.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e45c69c559fb64f9cda12fb93f34c0d\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1097\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Christopher Jue/Getty Images Entertainment<blockquote><ul><li>股息收益率理论是健康公司股票高估和低估的重要指标。</li><li>苹果目前的高增长是暂时的。</li><li>苹果正在成为股息贵族。</li></ul>克里斯托弗·觉/盖蒂图片社娱乐公司</blockquote> Investment Thesis<blockquote>投资论文</blockquote> Investors are treating Apple (AAPL) as if it has found a second growth spurt. In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.<blockquote>投资者对待苹果（AAPL）就好像它已经找到了第二次增长。事实上，苹果现在是一头完全长大的摇钱树，而不是一头初露头角的小牛。疫情让许多公司比他们希望的更快地过渡到互联网。这对苹果来说是件好事，但由于它在大流行之前就已经是一家成熟的企业，因此它将恢复到大流行前的正常增长率。</blockquote> Apple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.<blockquote>苹果2016年至2020年的5年平均股息率为1.46%，目前苹果的股息率为0.68%。苹果已支付股息近10年，平均收益率约为1.4%。为了让苹果提供这样的收益率，股价必须下跌至75美元至85美元的范围。现在是时候在苹果利润恢复到均值之前获利了结了。</blockquote> Why Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory<blockquote>为什么苹果被高估，股息收益率理论</blockquote> Dividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.<blockquote>股息收益率理论是由投资质量趋势创始人杰拉尔丁·韦斯通过一本名为《股息不要说谎》的书推广的。股息收益率理论的本质是，高质量的公司往往具有“正常”的收益率，随着市场爱上或不爱上该公司，股息收益率会波动以创造买卖机会。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a469d363e933b84759428285f957590\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking Alphadividend yield<blockquote>资料来源：寻求阿尔法股息收益率</blockquote> Here we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History.

In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.<blockquote>根据5年平均股息收益率和当前股息增长率，股息可能会增加至1.03-1.14美元。为了让苹果在预计的未来股息中维持其历史收益率，苹果股价必须在80美元左右。苹果有可能支付并将股息提高至1.89美元。苹果在2020年的股息上花费了140亿美元，将股息提高到1.89美元将使股价达到310亿美元。这将使他们的派息率提高到34%，这是现金牛公司的典型派息率。</blockquote> The expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up.

In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.\nApple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.\nWhy Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory\nDividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.\nSource: Seeking Alphadividend yield\nHere we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.\nThe reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.\nSource: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018\nThat is exactly what happened. At the peak of 2018 Apple’s dividend yield was 1.28%. At this time, Apple’s 5-year yield average was 1.86%. When 2018 ended Apple’s dividend yield was 1.97%. As you can now see, a company’s dividend yield can be a good proxy for value.\nThis Time Is not different\nI know some of you at this point are thinking, well, Dividend Yield Theory is nice and all but thanks to Covid this time is different. I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.\nIt is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus. Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.\nSource: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*\nAs we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products. Further down products are identified as the iPhone, Mac, iPad, Wearables, Home & Accessories.\n\nAgain the iPhone makes up the majority. The high growth rate in iPhone sales also backs up the theory that this round of growth is due to the Apple super cycle which seems to take place once every 3 years.\nSource: Seeking Alpha Financials, compiled by author\nThe pattern for the last 10 years has been 1 year of stellar growth followed by 2 years of much slower growth. As you can see this results in a 10-year CAGR of ~10% - 13% depending on where we are in the cycle.\nSource: Apple2017 10-K\nHere we see the 2015 super cycle followed by the growth declines in 2016 and 2017.\nSource: Apple2020 10-K\nAgain it happened in the more recent super cycle of 2018 followed by declines in growth for years 2019 and 2020.\nWhen we look into the revenue by product for these periods, we can see that iPhone sales decline and the other categories are unable to make up for the loss of revenue the next year. In the following year, 2017 and 2020, other sources of revenue increased enough for Apple’s total revenue to increase.\n\nPatterns are likely to repeat until something happens to change them.

In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.<blockquote>投资者对待苹果（AAPL）就好像它已经找到了第二次增长。事实上，苹果现在是一头完全长大的摇钱树，而不是一头初露头角的小牛。疫情让许多公司比他们希望的更快地过渡到互联网。这对苹果来说是件好事，但由于它在大流行之前就已经是一家成熟的企业，因此它将恢复到大流行前的正常增长率。</blockquote> Apple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.<blockquote>苹果2016年至2020年的5年平均股息率为1.46%，目前苹果的股息率为0.68%。苹果已支付股息近10年，平均收益率约为1.4%。为了让苹果提供这样的收益率，股价必须下跌至75美元至85美元的范围。现在是时候在苹果利润恢复到均值之前获利了结了。</blockquote> Why Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory<blockquote>为什么苹果被高估，股息收益率理论</blockquote> Dividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.<blockquote>股息收益率理论是由投资质量趋势创始人杰拉尔丁·韦斯通过一本名为《股息不要说谎》的书推广的。股息收益率理论的本质是，高质量的公司往往具有“正常”的收益率，随着市场爱上或不爱上该公司，股息收益率会波动以创造买卖机会。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a469d363e933b84759428285f957590\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking Alphadividend yield<blockquote>资料来源：寻求阿尔法股息收益率</blockquote> Here we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.<blockquote>这里我们有苹果的股息收益率历史。查看平均收益率栏可以看到，苹果目前的平均收益率是自苹果首次开始支付股息以来的最低水平。这表明苹果是一个尖叫出售。另一方面，苹果平均收益率上一次高于2%是在2016年。当时，苹果是一个令人尖叫的买家。巧合的是，同年Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)开始购买苹果股票。</blockquote> The reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.<blockquote>之所以有效，是因为股息收益率是股价的乘积。看上图，你可以看到2016年到2018年股息收益率下降，这表明苹果的股价上涨。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/991e5d3137bf5ac3c9bc4aaf26c01581\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018<blockquote>资料来源：雅虎财经，2016年1月1日至2018年12月31日苹果股价</blockquote> That is exactly what happened. At the peak of 2018 Apple’s dividend yield was 1.28%. At this time, Apple’s 5-year yield average was 1.86%. When 2018 ended Apple’s dividend yield was 1.97%. As you can now see, a company’s dividend yield can be a good proxy for value.<blockquote>这正是发生的事情。2018年峰值时，苹果的股息收益率为1.28%。此时，苹果5年期收益率平均值为1.86%。2018年底，苹果的股息收益率为1.97%。正如您现在所看到的，公司的股息收益率可以很好地代表价值。</blockquote> This Time Is not different<blockquote>这次也不例外</blockquote> I know some of you at this point are thinking, well, Dividend Yield Theory is nice and all but thanks to Covid this time is different. I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.<blockquote>我知道你们中的一些人现在在想，股息收益率理论很好，但多亏了新冠疫情，这次不同了。我不认为这一次对苹果来说有什么不同，原因是因为苹果在大流行之前就已经成熟了。</blockquote> It is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus. Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.<blockquote>诚然，苹果和许多其他科技公司都从疫情中受益，但苹果与Shopify、Zoom和Disney Plus有很大不同。也就是说，苹果已经在很大程度上渗透了其整个目标市场。在疫情之前，我们大多数人从未听说过Zoom。我们开始在家工作，需要一个远程通信的解决方案，bam Zoom利用了这一点。在疫情之前，iPhone仍然是值得击败的智能手机，拥有数千万用户的智能手机，是远至中国的必备身份象征。2012年我在中国留学了一个学期。那段时间，我的教授告诉我们，身份象征对中国人有多重要。所有年龄段的学生在父母给他们买iPhone之前都不会去上学，因为没有它他们会丢脸。许多人负担不起电话套餐，我和我的朋友目睹了许多人拥有iPhone只是为了炫耀。那是在2012年，比疫情大流行早了8年。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ae87be3f096ac0a13d2e38634b8c34c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"310\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*<blockquote>资料来源：苹果2021年第三季度*涵盖2021年4月至6月*</blockquote> As we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products. Further down products are identified as the iPhone, Mac, iPad, Wearables, Home &amp; Accessories.<blockquote>正如我们所看到的，苹果的大部分收入来自产品。进一步向下的产品被确定为iPhone、Mac、iPad、可穿戴设备、家居和配件。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3ef98109e802b72a60990d870e23814d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"114\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><blockquote></blockquote> Again the iPhone makes up the majority.

In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.\nApple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.\nWhy Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory\nDividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.\nSource: Seeking Alphadividend yield\nHere we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.\nThe reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.\nSource: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018\nThat is exactly what happened. At the peak of 2018 Apple’s dividend yield was 1.28%. At this time, Apple’s 5-year yield average was 1.86%. When 2018 ended Apple’s dividend yield was 1.97%. As you can now see, a company’s dividend yield can be a good proxy for value.\nThis Time Is not different\nI know some of you at this point are thinking, well, Dividend Yield Theory is nice and all but thanks to Covid this time is different. I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.\nIt is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus. Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.\nSource: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*\nAs we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products. Further down products are identified as the iPhone, Mac, iPad, Wearables, Home & Accessories.\n\nAgain the iPhone makes up the majority. The high growth rate in iPhone sales also backs up the theory that this round of growth is due to the Apple super cycle which seems to take place once every 3 years.\nSource: Seeking Alpha Financials, compiled by author\nThe pattern for the last 10 years has been 1 year of stellar growth followed by 2 years of much slower growth. As you can see this results in a 10-year CAGR of ~10% - 13% depending on where we are in the cycle.\nSource: Apple2017 10-K\nHere we see the 2015 super cycle followed by the growth declines in 2016 and 2017.\nSource: Apple2020 10-K\nAgain it happened in the more recent super cycle of 2018 followed by declines in growth for years 2019 and 2020.\nWhen we look into the revenue by product for these periods, we can see that iPhone sales decline and the other categories are unable to make up for the loss of revenue the next year. In the following year, 2017 and 2020, other sources of revenue increased enough for Apple’s total revenue to increase.\n\nPatterns are likely to repeat until something happens to change them. I don't see such a catalyst on the horizon, and currently iPhone sales are again carrying Apple’s revenue to record levels. iPhone sales seem to be selling so well because of the coming transition to 5G and many iPhone owners have a device that is at least 3 years old.\nThe iPhone 12 was unveiled and released in October 2020. This means the super cycle is expected to end with the iPhone 13 which is expected to come out in September or October. I believe this indicates FY 2022 will be a rough year for Apple shareholders.\nApple’s Third And Final Act - A Cash Cow\nInvestors need to pay attention to Apple’s future as a dividend aristocrat. Apple is transitioning toward more service based revenues. This is a higher margin business but there is less explosive innovation, meaning growth will decline.\nAt the current share price, investors are “locking in” a targeted return of 9% over the next 10 years based on some optimistic assumptions.\n\nGrowth of 19.3% for the first 5 years followed by 12% growth for the second five years.\nAn expected dividend growth rate of 17.5%\nApple reverts to their historic P/E of 21.\n\nAll of that together means Apple’s share price in 10 years will be $293.47 and the dividend will be at $4.43 a share giving existing shareholders a yield of 1.5% which is much closer to their current 5-year average yield.\nApple’s dividend payout ratio is currently 15.86%. Other companies in the IT sector like Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intuit (INTU) have a payout ratio of 51% and 25% respectively which shows Apple’s dividends will be much higher in the coming years. With a projected EPS of $14 in 2031 a 51% payout would mean a dividend of $7/sh.\nRisk and Opportunity, The Dividend increase\nBased on the 5 year average dividend yield and the current rate of dividend increases, it is likely the dividend will be increased to $1.03-$1.14. In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.\nThe expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.\nSource: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement\nLastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple. If the current 2021 yield average of 0.63% becomes the new normal, Apple’s share price should rise to $163.49 - $180.95 based on my projected dividend increase.\nConclusion\nSell Apple, take your profits now. The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":5415814,"gmtCreate":1628001399209,"gmtModify":1631891627399,"authorId":3579331938591706,"author":{"id":3579331938591706,"idStr":"3579331938591706","authorId":3579331938591706,"name":"JOHY","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01faff4217bc5e19fd6b5d62c156f678","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":805869894,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Yes","text":"Yes","html":"Yes"},{"id":5403859,"gmtCreate":1627910945780,"gmtModify":1631891627380,"authorId":3579331938591706,"author":{"id":3579331938591706,"idStr":"3579331938591706","authorId":3579331938591706,"name":"JOHY","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01faff4217bc5e19fd6b5d62c156f678","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":805869894,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Sell","text":"Sell","html":"Sell"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":805881905,"gmtCreate":1627869836407,"gmtModify":1633755765975,"author":{"id":"3574906731000207","authorId":"3574906731000207","name":"SSVC","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/545a5ea462ff4ac7cc100bd3d8d97f72","vip":1,"crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3574906731000207","idStr":"3574906731000207"},"htmlText":"Mmm..

In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89.

In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.<blockquote>投资者对待苹果（AAPL）就好像它已经找到了第二次增长。事实上，苹果现在是一头完全长大的摇钱树，而不是一头初露头角的小牛。疫情让许多公司比他们希望的更快地过渡到互联网。这对苹果来说是件好事，但由于它在大流行之前就已经是一家成熟的企业，因此它将恢复到大流行前的正常增长率。</blockquote> Apple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.<blockquote>苹果2016年至2020年的5年平均股息率为1.46%，目前苹果的股息率为0.68%。苹果已支付股息近10年，平均收益率约为1.4%。为了让苹果提供这样的收益率，股价必须下跌至75美元至85美元的范围。现在是时候在苹果利润恢复到均值之前获利了结了。</blockquote> Why Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory<blockquote>为什么苹果被高估，股息收益率理论</blockquote> Dividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.<blockquote>股息收益率理论是由投资质量趋势创始人杰拉尔丁·韦斯通过一本名为《股息不要说谎》的书推广的。股息收益率理论的本质是，高质量的公司往往具有“正常”的收益率，随着市场爱上或不爱上该公司，股息收益率会波动以创造买卖机会。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a469d363e933b84759428285f957590\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking Alphadividend yield<blockquote>资料来源：寻求阿尔法股息收益率</blockquote> Here we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.<blockquote>这里我们有苹果的股息收益率历史。查看平均收益率栏可以看到，苹果目前的平均收益率是自苹果首次开始支付股息以来的最低水平。这表明苹果是一个尖叫出售。另一方面，苹果平均收益率上一次高于2%是在2016年。当时，苹果是一个令人尖叫的买家。巧合的是，同年Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)开始购买苹果股票。</blockquote> The reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.<blockquote>之所以有效，是因为股息收益率是股价的乘积。看上图，你可以看到2016年到2018年股息收益率下降，这表明苹果的股价上涨。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/991e5d3137bf5ac3c9bc4aaf26c01581\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018<blockquote>资料来源：雅虎财经，2016年1月1日至2018年12月31日苹果股价</blockquote> That is exactly what happened. At the peak of 2018 Apple’s dividend yield was 1.28%. At this time, Apple’s 5-year yield average was 1.86%. When 2018 ended Apple’s dividend yield was 1.97%. As you can now see, a company’s dividend yield can be a good proxy for value.<blockquote>这正是发生的事情。2018年峰值时，苹果的股息收益率为1.28%。此时，苹果5年期收益率平均值为1.86%。2018年底，苹果的股息收益率为1.97%。正如您现在所看到的，公司的股息收益率可以很好地代表价值。</blockquote> This Time Is not different<blockquote>这次也不例外</blockquote> I know some of you at this point are thinking, well, Dividend Yield Theory is nice and all but thanks to Covid this time is different. I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.<blockquote>我知道你们中的一些人现在在想，股息收益率理论很好，但多亏了新冠疫情，这次不同了。我不认为这一次对苹果来说有什么不同，原因是因为苹果在大流行之前就已经成熟了。</blockquote> It is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus. Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.<blockquote>诚然，苹果和许多其他科技公司都从疫情中受益，但苹果与Shopify、Zoom和Disney Plus有很大不同。也就是说，苹果已经在很大程度上渗透了其整个目标市场。在疫情之前，我们大多数人从未听说过Zoom。我们开始在家工作，需要一个远程通信的解决方案，bam Zoom利用了这一点。在疫情之前，iPhone仍然是值得击败的智能手机，拥有数千万用户的智能手机，是远至中国的必备身份象征。2012年我在中国留学了一个学期。那段时间，我的教授告诉我们，身份象征对中国人有多重要。所有年龄段的学生在父母给他们买iPhone之前都不会去上学，因为没有它他们会丢脸。许多人负担不起电话套餐，我和我的朋友目睹了许多人拥有iPhone只是为了炫耀。那是在2012年，比疫情大流行早了8年。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ae87be3f096ac0a13d2e38634b8c34c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"310\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*<blockquote>资料来源：苹果2021年第三季度*涵盖2021年4月至6月*</blockquote> As we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products.

Apple is transitioning toward more service based revenues. This is a higher margin business but there is less explosive innovation, meaning growth will decline.<blockquote>投资者需要关注苹果作为股息贵族的未来。苹果正在向更多基于服务的收入转型。这是一项利润率较高的业务，但爆炸性创新较少，这意味着增长将会下降。</blockquote> At the current share price, investors are “locking in” a targeted return of 9% over the next 10 years based on some optimistic assumptions.<blockquote>以目前的股价，投资者基于一些乐观的假设，“锁定”了未来10年9%的目标回报率。</blockquote> <ul> <li>Growth of 19.3% for the first 5 years followed by 12% growth for the second five years.</li> <li>An expected dividend growth rate of 17.5%</li> <li>Apple reverts to their historic P/E of 21.</li> </ul> All of that together means Apple’s share price in 10 years will be $293.47 and the dividend will be at $4.43 a share giving existing shareholders a yield of 1.5% which is much closer to their current 5-year average yield.<blockquote><ul><li>前5年增长19.3%，第二个5年增长12%。</li><li>预期股息增长率为17.5%</li><li>苹果恢复到21的历史市盈率。</li></ul>所有这些加在一起意味着苹果10年后的股价将为293.47美元，股息将为每股4.43美元，现有股东的收益率为1.5%，更接近他们当前的5年平均收益率。</blockquote> Apple’s dividend payout ratio is currently 15.86%. Other companies in the IT sector like Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intuit (INTU) have a payout ratio of 51% and 25% respectively which shows Apple’s dividends will be much higher in the coming years. With a projected EPS of $14 in 2031 a 51% payout would mean a dividend of $7/sh.<blockquote>苹果目前的股息支付率为15.86%。德州仪器(TXN)和Intuit(INTU)等IT行业的其他公司的派息率分别为51%和25%，这表明苹果未来几年的股息将高得多。预计2031年每股收益为14美元，51%的派息意味着每股7美元的股息。</blockquote> Risk and Opportunity, The Dividend increase<blockquote>风险与机遇，股息增加</blockquote> Based on the 5 year average dividend yield and the current rate of dividend increases, it is likely the dividend will be increased to $1.03-$1.14. In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.<blockquote>根据5年平均股息收益率和当前股息增长率，股息可能会增加至1.03-1.14美元。为了让苹果在预计的未来股息中维持其历史收益率，苹果股价必须在80美元左右。苹果有可能支付并将股息提高至1.89美元。苹果在2020年的股息上花费了140亿美元，将股息提高到1.89美元将使股价达到310亿美元。这将使他们的派息率提高到34%，这是现金牛公司的典型派息率。</blockquote> The expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.<blockquote>预期股息I项目基于股息占经营现金流的百分比。在过去的3年里，这一比例从15%到18%不等。我估计使用了1001.5亿美元的运营现金流，按19%计算，您将获得1.14美元的股息。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/153079186d84770e064411e34a42745e\" tg-width=\"304\" tg-height=\"74\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement<blockquote>资料来源：Seeking Alpha现金流量表</blockquote> Lastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple.

In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.\nThe expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.\nSource: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement\nLastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple. If the current 2021 yield average of 0.63% becomes the new normal, Apple’s share price should rise to $163.49 - $180.95 based on my projected dividend increase.\nConclusion\nSell Apple, take your profits now. The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":5402661,"gmtCreate":1627900992981,"gmtModify":1635162024314,"authorId":3572863479502236,"author":{"id":3572863479502236,"idStr":"3572863479502236","authorId":3572863479502236,"name":"PJoo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c1df329f4341646fc633446858d34c31","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":805881905,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Very convincing","text":"Very convincing","html":"Very convincing"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":805813152,"gmtCreate":1627869473176,"gmtModify":1633755775490,"author":{"id":"3581562038507991","authorId":"3581562038507991","name":"卖女孩的小火柴v","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ba918be4c84fbffa0546cae2b23bfbb7","vip":1,"crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3581562038507991","idStr":"3581562038507991"},"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/805813152","repostId":1130492644,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1130492644","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627867792,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1130492644?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-02 09:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1130492644","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nDividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy","content":"Summary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Dividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy companies.</li> <li>Apple’s current high growth is temporary.</li> <li>Apple is on its way to becoming a dividend aristocrat.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e45c69c559fb64f9cda12fb93f34c0d\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1097\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Christopher Jue/Getty Images Entertainment<blockquote><ul><li>股息收益率理论是健康公司股票高估和低估的重要指标。</li><li>苹果目前的高增长是暂时的。</li><li>苹果正在成为股息贵族。</li></ul>克里斯托弗·觉/盖蒂图片社娱乐公司</blockquote> Investment Thesis<blockquote>投资论文</blockquote> Investors are treating Apple (AAPL) as if it has found a second growth spurt.

The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.<blockquote>股息收益率理论是由投资质量趋势创始人杰拉尔丁·韦斯通过一本名为《股息不要说谎》的书推广的。股息收益率理论的本质是，高质量的公司往往具有“正常”的收益率，随着市场爱上或不爱上该公司，股息收益率会波动以创造买卖机会。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a469d363e933b84759428285f957590\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking Alphadividend yield<blockquote>资料来源：寻求阿尔法股息收益率</blockquote> Here we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.<blockquote>这里我们有苹果的股息收益率历史。查看平均收益率栏可以看到，苹果目前的平均收益率是自苹果首次开始支付股息以来的最低水平。这表明苹果是一个尖叫出售。另一方面，苹果平均收益率上一次高于2%是在2016年。当时，苹果是一个令人尖叫的买家。巧合的是，同年Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)开始购买苹果股票。</blockquote> The reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.<blockquote>之所以有效，是因为股息收益率是股价的乘积。看上图，你可以看到2016年到2018年股息收益率下降，这表明苹果的股价上涨。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/991e5d3137bf5ac3c9bc4aaf26c01581\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018<blockquote>资料来源：雅虎财经，2016年1月1日至2018年12月31日苹果股价</blockquote> That is exactly what happened.

I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.<blockquote>我知道你们中的一些人现在在想，股息收益率理论很好，但多亏了新冠疫情，这次不同了。我不认为这一次对苹果来说有什么不同，原因是因为苹果在大流行之前就已经成熟了。</blockquote> It is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus. Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.<blockquote>诚然，苹果和许多其他科技公司都从疫情中受益，但苹果与Shopify、Zoom和Disney Plus有很大不同。也就是说，苹果已经在很大程度上渗透了其整个目标市场。在疫情之前，我们大多数人从未听说过Zoom。我们开始在家工作，需要一个远程通信的解决方案，bam Zoom利用了这一点。在疫情之前，iPhone仍然是值得击败的智能手机，拥有数千万用户的智能手机，是远至中国的必备身份象征。2012年我在中国留学了一个学期。那段时间，我的教授告诉我们，身份象征对中国人有多重要。所有年龄段的学生在父母给他们买iPhone之前都不会去上学，因为没有它他们会丢脸。许多人负担不起电话套餐，我和我的朋友目睹了许多人拥有iPhone只是为了炫耀。那是在2012年，比疫情大流行早了8年。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ae87be3f096ac0a13d2e38634b8c34c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"310\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*<blockquote>资料来源：苹果2021年第三季度*涵盖2021年4月至6月*</blockquote> As we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products.

Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.<blockquote>这里我们有苹果的股息收益率历史。查看平均收益率栏可以看到，苹果目前的平均收益率是自苹果首次开始支付股息以来的最低水平。这表明苹果是一个尖叫出售。另一方面，苹果平均收益率上一次高于2%是在2016年。当时，苹果是一个令人尖叫的买家。巧合的是，同年Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)开始购买苹果股票。</blockquote> The reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price.

Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”.

Other companies in the IT sector like Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intuit (INTU) have a payout ratio of 51% and 25% respectively which shows Apple’s dividends will be much higher in the coming years.

In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.<blockquote>根据5年平均股息收益率和当前股息增长率，股息可能会增加至1.03-1.14美元。为了让苹果在预计的未来股息中维持其历史收益率，苹果股价必须在80美元左右。苹果有可能支付并将股息提高至1.89美元。苹果在2020年的股息上花费了140亿美元，将股息提高到1.89美元将使股价达到310亿美元。这将使他们的派息率提高到34%，这是现金牛公司的典型派息率。</blockquote> The expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.<blockquote>预期股息I项目基于股息占经营现金流的百分比。在过去的3年里，这一比例从15%到18%不等。我估计使用了1001.5亿美元的运营现金流，按19%计算，您将获得1.14美元的股息。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/153079186d84770e064411e34a42745e\" tg-width=\"304\" tg-height=\"74\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement<blockquote>资料来源：Seeking Alpha现金流量表</blockquote> Lastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple. If the current 2021 yield average of 0.63% becomes the new normal, Apple’s share price should rise to $163.49 - $180.95 based on my projected dividend increase.<blockquote>最后，低于1%的股息收益率有可能成为苹果的常态。如果目前2021年0.63%的平均收益率成为新常态，根据我预计的股息增长，苹果的股价应该会上涨至163.49美元至180.95美元。</blockquote> Conclusion<blockquote>结论</blockquote> Sell Apple, take your profits now. The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.<blockquote>卖出苹果，立即获利了结。超级周期将结束。稍后再来，等股息收益率较高时折价买入苹果。</blockquote>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n 来源：<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4443676-apple-take-your-profits-before-its-too-late\">seekingalpha</a>\n为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4443676-apple-take-your-profits-before-its-too-late","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1130492644","content_text":"Summary\n\nDividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy companies.\nApple’s current high growth is temporary.\nApple is on its way to becoming a dividend aristocrat.\n\nChristopher Jue/Getty Images Entertainment\nInvestment Thesis\nInvestors are treating Apple (AAPL) as if it has found a second growth spurt.

Apple is transitioning toward more service based revenues. This is a higher margin business but there is less explosive innovation, meaning growth will decline.<blockquote>投资者需要关注苹果作为股息贵族的未来。苹果正在向更多基于服务的收入转型。这是一项利润率较高的业务，但爆炸性创新较少，这意味着增长将会下降。</blockquote> At the current share price, investors are “locking in” a targeted return of 9% over the next 10 years based on some optimistic assumptions.<blockquote>以目前的股价，投资者基于一些乐观的假设，“锁定”了未来10年9%的目标回报率。</blockquote> <ul> <li>Growth of 19.3% for the first 5 years followed by 12% growth for the second five years.</li> <li>An expected dividend growth rate of 17.5%</li> <li>Apple reverts to their historic P/E of 21.</li> </ul> All of that together means Apple’s share price in 10 years will be $293.47 and the dividend will be at $4.43 a share giving existing shareholders a yield of 1.5% which is much closer to their current 5-year average yield.<blockquote><ul><li>前5年增长19.3%，第二个5年增长12%。</li><li>预期股息增长率为17.5%</li><li>苹果恢复到21的历史市盈率。</li></ul>所有这些加在一起意味着苹果10年后的股价将为293.47美元，股息将为每股4.43美元，现有股东的收益率为1.5%，更接近他们当前的5年平均收益率。</blockquote> Apple’s dividend payout ratio is currently 15.86%. Other companies in the IT sector like Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intuit (INTU) have a payout ratio of 51% and 25% respectively which shows Apple’s dividends will be much higher in the coming years. With a projected EPS of $14 in 2031 a 51% payout would mean a dividend of $7/sh.<blockquote>苹果目前的股息支付率为15.86%。德州仪器(TXN)和Intuit(INTU)等IT行业的其他公司的派息率分别为51%和25%，这表明苹果未来几年的股息将高得多。预计2031年每股收益为14美元，51%的派息意味着每股7美元的股息。</blockquote> Risk and Opportunity, The Dividend increase<blockquote>风险与机遇，股息增加</blockquote> Based on the 5 year average dividend yield and the current rate of dividend increases, it is likely the dividend will be increased to $1.03-$1.14. In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.<blockquote>根据5年平均股息收益率和当前股息增长率，股息可能会增加至1.03-1.14美元。为了让苹果在预计的未来股息中维持其历史收益率，苹果股价必须在80美元左右。苹果有可能支付并将股息提高至1.89美元。苹果在2020年的股息上花费了140亿美元，将股息提高到1.89美元将使股价达到310亿美元。这将使他们的派息率提高到34%，这是现金牛公司的典型派息率。</blockquote> The expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.<blockquote>预期股息I项目基于股息占经营现金流的百分比。在过去的3年里，这一比例从15%到18%不等。我估计使用了1001.5亿美元的运营现金流，按19%计算，您将获得1.14美元的股息。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/153079186d84770e064411e34a42745e\" tg-width=\"304\" tg-height=\"74\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement<blockquote>资料来源：Seeking Alpha现金流量表</blockquote> Lastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple. If the current 2021 yield average of 0.63% becomes the new normal, Apple’s share price should rise to $163.49 - $180.95 based on my projected dividend increase.<blockquote>最后，低于1%的股息收益率有可能成为苹果的常态。如果目前2021年0.63%的平均收益率成为新常态，根据我预计的股息增长，苹果的股价应该会上涨至163.49美元至180.95美元。</blockquote> Conclusion<blockquote>结论</blockquote> Sell Apple, take your profits now. The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.<blockquote>卖出苹果，立即获利了结。超级周期将结束。稍后再来，等股息收益率较高时折价买入苹果。</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Apple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nApple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nseekingalpha2021-08-02 09:29\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\nSummary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Dividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy companies.</li> <li>Apple’s current high growth is temporary.</li> <li>Apple is on its way to becoming a dividend aristocrat.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e45c69c559fb64f9cda12fb93f34c0d\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1097\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Christopher Jue/Getty Images Entertainment<blockquote><ul><li>股息收益率理论是健康公司股票高估和低估的重要指标。</li><li>苹果目前的高增长是暂时的。</li><li>苹果正在成为股息贵族。</li></ul>克里斯托弗·觉/盖蒂图片社娱乐公司</blockquote> Investment Thesis<blockquote>投资论文</blockquote> Investors are treating Apple (AAPL) as if it has found a second growth spurt. In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.<blockquote>投资者对待苹果（AAPL）就好像它已经找到了第二次增长。事实上，苹果现在是一头完全长大的摇钱树，而不是一头初露头角的小牛。疫情让许多公司比他们希望的更快地过渡到互联网。这对苹果来说是件好事，但由于它在大流行之前就已经是一家成熟的企业，因此它将恢复到大流行前的正常增长率。</blockquote> Apple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.<blockquote>苹果2016年至2020年的5年平均股息率为1.46%，目前苹果的股息率为0.68%。苹果已支付股息近10年，平均收益率约为1.4%。为了让苹果提供这样的收益率，股价必须下跌至75美元至85美元的范围。现在是时候在苹果利润恢复到均值之前获利了结了。</blockquote> Why Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory<blockquote>为什么苹果被高估，股息收益率理论</blockquote> Dividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.<blockquote>股息收益率理论是由投资质量趋势创始人杰拉尔丁·韦斯通过一本名为《股息不要说谎》的书推广的。股息收益率理论的本质是，高质量的公司往往具有“正常”的收益率，随着市场爱上或不爱上该公司，股息收益率会波动以创造买卖机会。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a469d363e933b84759428285f957590\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking Alphadividend yield<blockquote>资料来源：寻求阿尔法股息收益率</blockquote> Here we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.<blockquote>这里我们有苹果的股息收益率历史。查看平均收益率栏可以看到，苹果目前的平均收益率是自苹果首次开始支付股息以来的最低水平。这表明苹果是一个尖叫出售。另一方面，苹果平均收益率上一次高于2%是在2016年。当时，苹果是一个令人尖叫的买家。巧合的是，同年Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)开始购买苹果股票。</blockquote> The reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.<blockquote>之所以有效，是因为股息收益率是股价的乘积。看上图，你可以看到2016年到2018年股息收益率下降，这表明苹果的股价上涨。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/991e5d3137bf5ac3c9bc4aaf26c01581\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018<blockquote>资料来源：雅虎财经，2016年1月1日至2018年12月31日苹果股价</blockquote> That is exactly what happened.

This is a higher margin business but there is less explosive innovation, meaning growth will decline.<blockquote>投资者需要关注苹果作为股息贵族的未来。苹果正在向更多基于服务的收入转型。这是一项利润率较高的业务，但爆炸性创新较少，这意味着增长将会下降。</blockquote> At the current share price, investors are “locking in” a targeted return of 9% over the next 10 years based on some optimistic assumptions.<blockquote>以目前的股价，投资者基于一些乐观的假设，“锁定”了未来10年9%的目标回报率。</blockquote> <ul> <li>Growth of 19.3% for the first 5 years followed by 12% growth for the second five years.</li> <li>An expected dividend growth rate of 17.5%</li> <li>Apple reverts to their historic P/E of 21.</li> </ul> All of that together means Apple’s share price in 10 years will be $293.47 and the dividend will be at $4.43 a share giving existing shareholders a yield of 1.5% which is much closer to their current 5-year average yield.<blockquote><ul><li>前5年增长19.3%，第二个5年增长12%。</li><li>预期股息增长率为17.5%</li><li>苹果恢复到21的历史市盈率。</li></ul>所有这些加在一起意味着苹果10年后的股价将为293.47美元，股息将为每股4.43美元，现有股东的收益率为1.5%，更接近他们当前的5年平均收益率。</blockquote> Apple’s dividend payout ratio is currently 15.86%. Other companies in the IT sector like Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intuit (INTU) have a payout ratio of 51% and 25% respectively which shows Apple’s dividends will be much higher in the coming years. With a projected EPS of $14 in 2031 a 51% payout would mean a dividend of $7/sh.<blockquote>苹果目前的股息支付率为15.86%。德州仪器(TXN)和Intuit(INTU)等IT行业的其他公司的派息率分别为51%和25%，这表明苹果未来几年的股息将高得多。预计2031年每股收益为14美元，51%的派息意味着每股7美元的股息。</blockquote> Risk and Opportunity, The Dividend increase<blockquote>风险与机遇，股息增加</blockquote> Based on the 5 year average dividend yield and the current rate of dividend increases, it is likely the dividend will be increased to $1.03-$1.14. In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.<blockquote>根据5年平均股息收益率和当前股息增长率，股息可能会增加至1.03-1.14美元。为了让苹果在预计的未来股息中维持其历史收益率，苹果股价必须在80美元左右。苹果有可能支付并将股息提高至1.89美元。苹果在2020年的股息上花费了140亿美元，将股息提高到1.89美元将使股价达到310亿美元。这将使他们的派息率提高到34%，这是现金牛公司的典型派息率。</blockquote> The expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.<blockquote>预期股息I项目基于股息占经营现金流的百分比。在过去的3年里，这一比例从15%到18%不等。我估计使用了1001.5亿美元的运营现金流，按19%计算，您将获得1.14美元的股息。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/153079186d84770e064411e34a42745e\" tg-width=\"304\" tg-height=\"74\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement<blockquote>资料来源：Seeking Alpha现金流量表</blockquote> Lastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple. If the current 2021 yield average of 0.63% becomes the new normal, Apple’s share price should rise to $163.49 - $180.95 based on my projected dividend increase.<blockquote>最后，低于1%的股息收益率有可能成为苹果的常态。如果目前2021年0.63%的平均收益率成为新常态，根据我预计的股息增长，苹果的股价应该会上涨至163.49美元至180.95美元。</blockquote> Conclusion<blockquote>结论</blockquote> Sell Apple, take your profits now. The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.<blockquote>卖出苹果，立即获利了结。超级周期将结束。稍后再来，等股息收益率较高时折价买入苹果。</blockquote>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n 来源：<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4443676-apple-take-your-profits-before-its-too-late\">seekingalpha</a>\n为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4443676-apple-take-your-profits-before-its-too-late","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1130492644","content_text":"Summary\n\nDividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy companies.\nApple’s current high growth is temporary.\nApple is on its way to becoming a dividend aristocrat.\n\nChristopher Jue/Getty Images Entertainment\nInvestment Thesis\nInvestors are treating Apple (AAPL) as if it has found a second growth spurt. In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.\nApple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.\nWhy Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory\nDividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.\nSource: Seeking Alphadividend yield\nHere we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.\nThe reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.\nSource: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018\nThat is exactly what happened. At the peak of 2018 Apple’s dividend yield was 1.28%. At this time, Apple’s 5-year yield average was 1.86%. When 2018 ended Apple’s dividend yield was 1.97%. As you can now see, a company’s dividend yield can be a good proxy for value.\nThis Time Is not different\nI know some of you at this point are thinking, well, Dividend Yield Theory is nice and all but thanks to Covid this time is different. I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.\nIt is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus. Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.\nSource: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*\nAs we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products. Further down products are identified as the iPhone, Mac, iPad, Wearables, Home & Accessories.\n\nAgain the iPhone makes up the majority. The high growth rate in iPhone sales also backs up the theory that this round of growth is due to the Apple super cycle which seems to take place once every 3 years.\nSource: Seeking Alpha Financials, compiled by author\nThe pattern for the last 10 years has been 1 year of stellar growth followed by 2 years of much slower growth. As you can see this results in a 10-year CAGR of ~10% - 13% depending on where we are in the cycle.\nSource: Apple2017 10-K\nHere we see the 2015 super cycle followed by the growth declines in 2016 and 2017.\nSource: Apple2020 10-K\nAgain it happened in the more recent super cycle of 2018 followed by declines in growth for years 2019 and 2020.\nWhen we look into the revenue by product for these periods, we can see that iPhone sales decline and the other categories are unable to make up for the loss of revenue the next year. In the following year, 2017 and 2020, other sources of revenue increased enough for Apple’s total revenue to increase.\n\nPatterns are likely to repeat until something happens to change them. I don't see such a catalyst on the horizon, and currently iPhone sales are again carrying Apple’s revenue to record levels. iPhone sales seem to be selling so well because of the coming transition to 5G and many iPhone owners have a device that is at least 3 years old.\nThe iPhone 12 was unveiled and released in October 2020. This means the super cycle is expected to end with the iPhone 13 which is expected to come out in September or October. I believe this indicates FY 2022 will be a rough year for Apple shareholders.\nApple’s Third And Final Act - A Cash Cow\nInvestors need to pay attention to Apple’s future as a dividend aristocrat. Apple is transitioning toward more service based revenues. This is a higher margin business but there is less explosive innovation, meaning growth will decline.\nAt the current share price, investors are “locking in” a targeted return of 9% over the next 10 years based on some optimistic assumptions.\n\nGrowth of 19.3% for the first 5 years followed by 12% growth for the second five years.\nAn expected dividend growth rate of 17.5%\nApple reverts to their historic P/E of 21.\n\nAll of that together means Apple’s share price in 10 years will be $293.47 and the dividend will be at $4.43 a share giving existing shareholders a yield of 1.5% which is much closer to their current 5-year average yield.\nApple’s dividend payout ratio is currently 15.86%.

The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":5398905,"gmtCreate":1627869481293,"gmtModify":1635162330835,"authorId":3581562038507991,"author":{"id":3581562038507991,"idStr":"3581562038507991","authorId":3581562038507991,"name":"卖女孩的小火柴v","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ba918be4c84fbffa0546cae2b23bfbb7","vip":1,"crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":805813941,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Ok","text":"Ok","html":"Ok"},{"id":5398908,"gmtCreate":1627869490192,"gmtModify":1635162330489,"authorId":3581643786644012,"author":{"id":3581643786644012,"idStr":"3581643786644012","authorId":3581643786644012,"name":"LY1970","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/99deb9932439b87c6072806b53ff4f0b","vip":1,"crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":805813941,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Buy again when the price is right","text":"Buy again when the price is right","html":"Buy again when the price is right"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":805819716,"gmtCreate":1627869459435,"gmtModify":1633755775961,"author":{"id":"3568514422518898","authorId":"3568514422518898","name":"JenniMM","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/67c1b4042b51c227e94b8333d678a33a","vip":1,"crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3568514422518898","idStr":"3568514422518898"},"htmlText":"Hmmm","listText":"Hmmm","text":"Hmmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/805819716","repostId":1130492644,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1130492644","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627867792,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1130492644?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-02 09:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1130492644","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nDividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy","content":"Summary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Dividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy companies.</li> <li>Apple’s current high growth is temporary.</li> <li>Apple is on its way to becoming a dividend aristocrat.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e45c69c559fb64f9cda12fb93f34c0d\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1097\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Christopher Jue/Getty Images Entertainment<blockquote><ul><li>股息收益率理论是健康公司股票高估和低估的重要指标。</li><li>苹果目前的高增长是暂时的。</li><li>苹果正在成为股息贵族。</li></ul>克里斯托弗·觉/盖蒂图片社娱乐公司</blockquote> Investment Thesis<blockquote>投资论文</blockquote> Investors are treating Apple (AAPL) as if it has found a second growth spurt.

In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.<blockquote>投资者对待苹果（AAPL）就好像它已经找到了第二次增长。事实上，苹果现在是一头完全长大的摇钱树，而不是一头初露头角的小牛。疫情让许多公司比他们希望的更快地过渡到互联网。这对苹果来说是件好事，但由于它在大流行之前就已经是一家成熟的企业，因此它将恢复到大流行前的正常增长率。</blockquote> Apple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.<blockquote>苹果2016年至2020年的5年平均股息率为1.46%，目前苹果的股息率为0.68%。苹果已支付股息近10年，平均收益率约为1.4%。为了让苹果提供这样的收益率，股价必须下跌至75美元至85美元的范围。现在是时候在苹果利润恢复到均值之前获利了结了。</blockquote> Why Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory<blockquote>为什么苹果被高估，股息收益率理论</blockquote> Dividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.<blockquote>股息收益率理论是由投资质量趋势创始人杰拉尔丁·韦斯通过一本名为《股息不要说谎》的书推广的。股息收益率理论的本质是，高质量的公司往往具有“正常”的收益率，随着市场爱上或不爱上该公司，股息收益率会波动以创造买卖机会。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a469d363e933b84759428285f957590\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking Alphadividend yield<blockquote>资料来源：寻求阿尔法股息收益率</blockquote> Here we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.<blockquote>这里我们有苹果的股息收益率历史。查看平均收益率栏可以看到，苹果目前的平均收益率是自苹果首次开始支付股息以来的最低水平。这表明苹果是一个尖叫出售。另一方面，苹果平均收益率上一次高于2%是在2016年。当时，苹果是一个令人尖叫的买家。巧合的是，同年Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)开始购买苹果股票。</blockquote> The reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.<blockquote>之所以有效，是因为股息收益率是股价的乘积。看上图，你可以看到2016年到2018年股息收益率下降，这表明苹果的股价上涨。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/991e5d3137bf5ac3c9bc4aaf26c01581\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018<blockquote>资料来源：雅虎财经，2016年1月1日至2018年12月31日苹果股价</blockquote> That is exactly what happened. At the peak of 2018 Apple’s dividend yield was 1.28%. At this time, Apple’s 5-year yield average was 1.86%. When 2018 ended Apple’s dividend yield was 1.97%. As you can now see, a company’s dividend yield can be a good proxy for value.<blockquote>这正是发生的事情。2018年峰值时，苹果的股息收益率为1.28%。此时，苹果5年期收益率平均值为1.86%。2018年底，苹果的股息收益率为1.97%。正如您现在所看到的，公司的股息收益率可以很好地代表价值。</blockquote> This Time Is not different<blockquote>这次也不例外</blockquote> I know some of you at this point are thinking, well, Dividend Yield Theory is nice and all but thanks to Covid this time is different. I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.<blockquote>我知道你们中的一些人现在在想，股息收益率理论很好，但多亏了新冠疫情，这次不同了。我不认为这一次对苹果来说有什么不同，原因是因为苹果在大流行之前就已经成熟了。</blockquote> It is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus. Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.<blockquote>诚然，苹果和许多其他科技公司都从疫情中受益，但苹果与Shopify、Zoom和Disney Plus有很大不同。也就是说，苹果已经在很大程度上渗透了其整个目标市场。在疫情之前，我们大多数人从未听说过Zoom。我们开始在家工作，需要一个远程通信的解决方案，bam Zoom利用了这一点。在疫情之前，iPhone仍然是值得击败的智能手机，拥有数千万用户的智能手机，是远至中国的必备身份象征。2012年我在中国留学了一个学期。那段时间，我的教授告诉我们，身份象征对中国人有多重要。所有年龄段的学生在父母给他们买iPhone之前都不会去上学，因为没有它他们会丢脸。许多人负担不起电话套餐，我和我的朋友目睹了许多人拥有iPhone只是为了炫耀。那是在2012年，比疫情大流行早了8年。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ae87be3f096ac0a13d2e38634b8c34c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"310\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*<blockquote>资料来源：苹果2021年第三季度*涵盖2021年4月至6月*</blockquote> As we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products.

At the peak of 2018 Apple’s dividend yield was 1.28%. At this time, Apple’s 5-year yield average was 1.86%. When 2018 ended Apple’s dividend yield was 1.97%. As you can now see, a company’s dividend yield can be a good proxy for value.\nThis Time Is not different\nI know some of you at this point are thinking, well, Dividend Yield Theory is nice and all but thanks to Covid this time is different. I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.\nIt is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus. Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.\nSource: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*\nAs we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products. Further down products are identified as the iPhone, Mac, iPad, Wearables, Home & Accessories.\n\nAgain the iPhone makes up the majority. The high growth rate in iPhone sales also backs up the theory that this round of growth is due to the Apple super cycle which seems to take place once every 3 years.\nSource: Seeking Alpha Financials, compiled by author\nThe pattern for the last 10 years has been 1 year of stellar growth followed by 2 years of much slower growth. As you can see this results in a 10-year CAGR of ~10% - 13% depending on where we are in the cycle.\nSource: Apple2017 10-K\nHere we see the 2015 super cycle followed by the growth declines in 2016 and 2017.\nSource: Apple2020 10-K\nAgain it happened in the more recent super cycle of 2018 followed by declines in growth for years 2019 and 2020.\nWhen we look into the revenue by product for these periods, we can see that iPhone sales decline and the other categories are unable to make up for the loss of revenue the next year. In the following year, 2017 and 2020, other sources of revenue increased enough for Apple’s total revenue to increase.\n\nPatterns are likely to repeat until something happens to change them. I don't see such a catalyst on the horizon, and currently iPhone sales are again carrying Apple’s revenue to record levels. iPhone sales seem to be selling so well because of the coming transition to 5G and many iPhone owners have a device that is at least 3 years old.\nThe iPhone 12 was unveiled and released in October 2020. This means the super cycle is expected to end with the iPhone 13 which is expected to come out in September or October. I believe this indicates FY 2022 will be a rough year for Apple shareholders.\nApple’s Third And Final Act - A Cash Cow\nInvestors need to pay attention to Apple’s future as a dividend aristocrat. Apple is transitioning toward more service based revenues. This is a higher margin business but there is less explosive innovation, meaning growth will decline.\nAt the current share price, investors are “locking in” a targeted return of 9% over the next 10 years based on some optimistic assumptions.\n\nGrowth of 19.3% for the first 5 years followed by 12% growth for the second five years.\nAn expected dividend growth rate of 17.5%\nApple reverts to their historic P/E of 21.\n\nAll of that together means Apple’s share price in 10 years will be $293.47 and the dividend will be at $4.43 a share giving existing shareholders a yield of 1.5% which is much closer to their current 5-year average yield.\nApple’s dividend payout ratio is currently 15.86%. Other companies in the IT sector like Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intuit (INTU) have a payout ratio of 51% and 25% respectively which shows Apple’s dividends will be much higher in the coming years. With a projected EPS of $14 in 2031 a 51% payout would mean a dividend of $7/sh.\nRisk and Opportunity, The Dividend increase\nBased on the 5 year average dividend yield and the current rate of dividend increases, it is likely the dividend will be increased to $1.03-$1.14. In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.\nThe expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.\nSource: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement\nLastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple. If the current 2021 yield average of 0.63% becomes the new normal, Apple’s share price should rise to $163.49 - $180.95 based on my projected dividend increase.\nConclusion\nSell Apple, take your profits now. The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":805819698,"gmtCreate":1627869437114,"gmtModify":1633755776328,"author":{"id":"3574917385549292","authorId":"3574917385549292","name":"Alexyeo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3574917385549292","idStr":"3574917385549292"},"htmlText":"A","listText":"A","text":"A","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/805819698","repostId":1130492644,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1130492644","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627867792,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1130492644?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-02 09:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1130492644","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nDividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy","content":"Summary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Dividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy companies.</li> <li>Apple’s current high growth is temporary.</li> <li>Apple is on its way to becoming a dividend aristocrat.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e45c69c559fb64f9cda12fb93f34c0d\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1097\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Christopher Jue/Getty Images Entertainment<blockquote><ul><li>股息收益率理论是健康公司股票高估和低估的重要指标。</li><li>苹果目前的高增长是暂时的。</li><li>苹果正在成为股息贵族。</li></ul>克里斯托弗·觉/盖蒂图片社娱乐公司</blockquote> Investment Thesis<blockquote>投资论文</blockquote> Investors are treating Apple (AAPL) as if it has found a second growth spurt. In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.<blockquote>投资者对待苹果（AAPL）就好像它已经找到了第二次增长。事实上，苹果现在是一头完全长大的摇钱树，而不是一头初露头角的小牛。疫情让许多公司比他们希望的更快地过渡到互联网。这对苹果来说是件好事，但由于它在大流行之前就已经是一家成熟的企业，因此它将恢复到大流行前的正常增长率。</blockquote> Apple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.<blockquote>苹果2016年至2020年的5年平均股息率为1.46%，目前苹果的股息率为0.68%。苹果已支付股息近10年，平均收益率约为1.4%。为了让苹果提供这样的收益率，股价必须下跌至75美元至85美元的范围。现在是时候在苹果利润恢复到均值之前获利了结了。</blockquote> Why Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory<blockquote>为什么苹果被高估，股息收益率理论</blockquote> Dividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.<blockquote>股息收益率理论是由投资质量趋势创始人杰拉尔丁·韦斯通过一本名为《股息不要说谎》的书推广的。股息收益率理论的本质是，高质量的公司往往具有“正常”的收益率，随着市场爱上或不爱上该公司，股息收益率会波动以创造买卖机会。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a469d363e933b84759428285f957590\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking Alphadividend yield<blockquote>资料来源：寻求阿尔法股息收益率</blockquote> Here we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.<blockquote>这里我们有苹果的股息收益率历史。查看平均收益率栏可以看到，苹果目前的平均收益率是自苹果首次开始支付股息以来的最低水平。这表明苹果是一个尖叫出售。另一方面，苹果平均收益率上一次高于2%是在2016年。当时，苹果是一个令人尖叫的买家。巧合的是，同年Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)开始购买苹果股票。</blockquote> The reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.<blockquote>之所以有效，是因为股息收益率是股价的乘积。看上图，你可以看到2016年到2018年股息收益率下降，这表明苹果的股价上涨。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/991e5d3137bf5ac3c9bc4aaf26c01581\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018<blockquote>资料来源：雅虎财经，2016年1月1日至2018年12月31日苹果股价</blockquote> That is exactly what happened.

I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.<blockquote>我知道你们中的一些人现在在想，股息收益率理论很好，但多亏了新冠疫情，这次不同了。我不认为这一次对苹果来说有什么不同，原因是因为苹果在大流行之前就已经成熟了。</blockquote> It is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus.

In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.<blockquote>投资者对待苹果（AAPL）就好像它已经找到了第二次增长。事实上，苹果现在是一头完全长大的摇钱树，而不是一头初露头角的小牛。疫情让许多公司比他们希望的更快地过渡到互联网。这对苹果来说是件好事，但由于它在大流行之前就已经是一家成熟的企业，因此它将恢复到大流行前的正常增长率。</blockquote> Apple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.<blockquote>苹果2016年至2020年的5年平均股息率为1.46%，目前苹果的股息率为0.68%。苹果已支付股息近10年，平均收益率约为1.4%。为了让苹果提供这样的收益率，股价必须下跌至75美元至85美元的范围。现在是时候在苹果利润恢复到均值之前获利了结了。</blockquote> Why Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory<blockquote>为什么苹果被高估，股息收益率理论</blockquote> Dividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.<blockquote>股息收益率理论是由投资质量趋势创始人杰拉尔丁·韦斯通过一本名为《股息不要说谎》的书推广的。股息收益率理论的本质是，高质量的公司往往具有“正常”的收益率，随着市场爱上或不爱上该公司，股息收益率会波动以创造买卖机会。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a469d363e933b84759428285f957590\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking Alphadividend yield<blockquote>资料来源：寻求阿尔法股息收益率</blockquote> Here we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.<blockquote>这里我们有苹果的股息收益率历史。查看平均收益率栏可以看到，苹果目前的平均收益率是自苹果首次开始支付股息以来的最低水平。这表明苹果是一个尖叫出售。另一方面，苹果平均收益率上一次高于2%是在2016年。当时，苹果是一个令人尖叫的买家。巧合的是，同年Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)开始购买苹果股票。</blockquote> The reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.<blockquote>之所以有效，是因为股息收益率是股价的乘积。看上图，你可以看到2016年到2018年股息收益率下降，这表明苹果的股价上涨。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/991e5d3137bf5ac3c9bc4aaf26c01581\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018<blockquote>资料来源：雅虎财经，2016年1月1日至2018年12月31日苹果股价</blockquote> That is exactly what happened. At the peak of 2018 Apple’s dividend yield was 1.28%. At this time, Apple’s 5-year yield average was 1.86%. When 2018 ended Apple’s dividend yield was 1.97%. As you can now see, a company’s dividend yield can be a good proxy for value.<blockquote>这正是发生的事情。2018年峰值时，苹果的股息收益率为1.28%。此时，苹果5年期收益率平均值为1.86%。2018年底，苹果的股息收益率为1.97%。正如您现在所看到的，公司的股息收益率可以很好地代表价值。</blockquote> This Time Is not different<blockquote>这次也不例外</blockquote> I know some of you at this point are thinking, well, Dividend Yield Theory is nice and all but thanks to Covid this time is different. I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.<blockquote>我知道你们中的一些人现在在想，股息收益率理论很好，但多亏了新冠疫情，这次不同了。我不认为这一次对苹果来说有什么不同，原因是因为苹果在大流行之前就已经成熟了。</blockquote> It is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus. Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.<blockquote>诚然，苹果和许多其他科技公司都从疫情中受益，但苹果与Shopify、Zoom和Disney Plus有很大不同。也就是说，苹果已经在很大程度上渗透了其整个目标市场。在疫情之前，我们大多数人从未听说过Zoom。我们开始在家工作，需要一个远程通信的解决方案，bam Zoom利用了这一点。在疫情之前，iPhone仍然是值得击败的智能手机，拥有数千万用户的智能手机，是远至中国的必备身份象征。2012年我在中国留学了一个学期。那段时间，我的教授告诉我们，身份象征对中国人有多重要。所有年龄段的学生在父母给他们买iPhone之前都不会去上学，因为没有它他们会丢脸。许多人负担不起电话套餐，我和我的朋友目睹了许多人拥有iPhone只是为了炫耀。那是在2012年，比疫情大流行早了8年。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ae87be3f096ac0a13d2e38634b8c34c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"310\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*<blockquote>资料来源：苹果2021年第三季度*涵盖2021年4月至6月*</blockquote> As we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products.

Apple is transitioning toward more service based revenues. This is a higher margin business but there is less explosive innovation, meaning growth will decline.<blockquote>投资者需要关注苹果作为股息贵族的未来。苹果正在向更多基于服务的收入转型。这是一项利润率较高的业务，但爆炸性创新较少，这意味着增长将会下降。</blockquote> At the current share price, investors are “locking in” a targeted return of 9% over the next 10 years based on some optimistic assumptions.<blockquote>以目前的股价，投资者基于一些乐观的假设，“锁定”了未来10年9%的目标回报率。</blockquote> <ul> <li>Growth of 19.3% for the first 5 years followed by 12% growth for the second five years.</li> <li>An expected dividend growth rate of 17.5%</li> <li>Apple reverts to their historic P/E of 21.</li> </ul> All of that together means Apple’s share price in 10 years will be $293.47 and the dividend will be at $4.43 a share giving existing shareholders a yield of 1.5% which is much closer to their current 5-year average yield.<blockquote><ul><li>前5年增长19.3%，第二个5年增长12%。</li><li>预期股息增长率为17.5%</li><li>苹果恢复到21的历史市盈率。</li></ul>所有这些加在一起意味着苹果10年后的股价将为293.47美元，股息将为每股4.43美元，现有股东的收益率为1.5%，更接近他们当前的5年平均收益率。</blockquote> Apple’s dividend payout ratio is currently 15.86%. Other companies in the IT sector like Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intuit (INTU) have a payout ratio of 51% and 25% respectively which shows Apple’s dividends will be much higher in the coming years. With a projected EPS of $14 in 2031 a 51% payout would mean a dividend of $7/sh.<blockquote>苹果目前的股息支付率为15.86%。德州仪器(TXN)和Intuit(INTU)等IT行业的其他公司的派息率分别为51%和25%，这表明苹果未来几年的股息将高得多。预计2031年每股收益为14美元，51%的派息意味着每股7美元的股息。</blockquote> Risk and Opportunity, The Dividend increase<blockquote>风险与机遇，股息增加</blockquote> Based on the 5 year average dividend yield and the current rate of dividend increases, it is likely the dividend will be increased to $1.03-$1.14. In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.<blockquote>根据5年平均股息收益率和当前股息增长率，股息可能会增加至1.03-1.14美元。为了让苹果在预计的未来股息中维持其历史收益率，苹果股价必须在80美元左右。苹果有可能支付并将股息提高至1.89美元。苹果在2020年的股息上花费了140亿美元，将股息提高到1.89美元将使股价达到310亿美元。这将使他们的派息率提高到34%，这是现金牛公司的典型派息率。</blockquote> The expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.<blockquote>预期股息I项目基于股息占经营现金流的百分比。在过去的3年里，这一比例从15%到18%不等。我估计使用了1001.5亿美元的运营现金流，按19%计算，您将获得1.14美元的股息。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/153079186d84770e064411e34a42745e\" tg-width=\"304\" tg-height=\"74\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement<blockquote>资料来源：Seeking Alpha现金流量表</blockquote> Lastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple.

In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.\nThe expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.\nSource: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement\nLastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple. If the current 2021 yield average of 0.63% becomes the new normal, Apple’s share price should rise to $163.49 - $180.95 based on my projected dividend increase.\nConclusion\nSell Apple, take your profits now. The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":805832533,"gmtCreate":1627869213922,"gmtModify":1633755780059,"author":{"id":"4087545408973980","authorId":"4087545408973980","name":"ARIESan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ab7b9364a4791173d66fbb5fda8ef925","vip":1,"crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"4087545408973980","idStr":"4087545408973980"},"htmlText":"Yesss sell&nbsp;","listText":"Yesss sell&nbsp;","text":"Yesss sell","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/805832533","repostId":1130492644,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1130492644","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627867792,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1130492644?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-02 09:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1130492644","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nDividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy","content":"Summary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Dividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy companies.</li> <li>Apple’s current high growth is temporary.</li> <li>Apple is on its way to becoming a dividend aristocrat.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e45c69c559fb64f9cda12fb93f34c0d\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1097\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Christopher Jue/Getty Images Entertainment<blockquote><ul><li>股息收益率理论是健康公司股票高估和低估的重要指标。</li><li>苹果目前的高增长是暂时的。</li><li>苹果正在成为股息贵族。</li></ul>克里斯托弗·觉/盖蒂图片社娱乐公司</blockquote> Investment Thesis<blockquote>投资论文</blockquote> Investors are treating Apple (AAPL) as if it has found a second growth spurt.

Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.<blockquote>这里我们有苹果的股息收益率历史。查看平均收益率栏可以看到，苹果目前的平均收益率是自苹果首次开始支付股息以来的最低水平。这表明苹果是一个尖叫出售。另一方面，苹果平均收益率上一次高于2%是在2016年。当时，苹果是一个令人尖叫的买家。巧合的是，同年Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)开始购买苹果股票。</blockquote> The reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price.

Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.<blockquote>诚然，苹果和许多其他科技公司都从疫情中受益，但苹果与Shopify、Zoom和Disney Plus有很大不同。也就是说，苹果已经在很大程度上渗透了其整个目标市场。在疫情之前，我们大多数人从未听说过Zoom。我们开始在家工作，需要一个远程通信的解决方案，bam Zoom利用了这一点。在疫情之前，iPhone仍然是值得击败的智能手机，拥有数千万用户的智能手机，是远至中国的必备身份象征。2012年我在中国留学了一个学期。那段时间，我的教授告诉我们，身份象征对中国人有多重要。所有年龄段的学生在父母给他们买iPhone之前都不会去上学，因为没有它他们会丢脸。许多人负担不起电话套餐，我和我的朋友目睹了许多人拥有iPhone只是为了炫耀。那是在2012年，比疫情大流行早了8年。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ae87be3f096ac0a13d2e38634b8c34c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"310\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*<blockquote>资料来源：苹果2021年第三季度*涵盖2021年4月至6月*</blockquote> As we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products.

In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.<blockquote>根据5年平均股息收益率和当前股息增长率，股息可能会增加至1.03-1.14美元。为了让苹果在预计的未来股息中维持其历史收益率，苹果股价必须在80美元左右。苹果有可能支付并将股息提高至1.89美元。苹果在2020年的股息上花费了140亿美元，将股息提高到1.89美元将使股价达到310亿美元。这将使他们的派息率提高到34%，这是现金牛公司的典型派息率。</blockquote> The expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up.

If the current 2021 yield average of 0.63% becomes the new normal, Apple’s share price should rise to $163.49 - $180.95 based on my projected dividend increase.<blockquote>最后，低于1%的股息收益率有可能成为苹果的常态。如果目前2021年0.63%的平均收益率成为新常态，根据我预计的股息增长，苹果的股价应该会上涨至163.49美元至180.95美元。</blockquote> Conclusion<blockquote>结论</blockquote> Sell Apple, take your profits now. The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.<blockquote>卖出苹果，立即获利了结。超级周期将结束。稍后再来，等股息收益率较高时折价买入苹果。</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Apple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nApple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nseekingalpha2021-08-02 09:29\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\nSummary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Dividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy companies.</li> <li>Apple’s current high growth is temporary.</li> <li>Apple is on its way to becoming a dividend aristocrat.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e45c69c559fb64f9cda12fb93f34c0d\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1097\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Christopher Jue/Getty Images Entertainment<blockquote><ul><li>股息收益率理论是健康公司股票高估和低估的重要指标。</li><li>苹果目前的高增长是暂时的。</li><li>苹果正在成为股息贵族。</li></ul>克里斯托弗·觉/盖蒂图片社娱乐公司</blockquote> Investment Thesis<blockquote>投资论文</blockquote> Investors are treating Apple (AAPL) as if it has found a second growth spurt.

Other companies in the IT sector like Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intuit (INTU) have a payout ratio of 51% and 25% respectively which shows Apple’s dividends will be much higher in the coming years.

In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.<blockquote>根据5年平均股息收益率和当前股息增长率，股息可能会增加至1.03-1.14美元。为了让苹果在预计的未来股息中维持其历史收益率，苹果股价必须在80美元左右。苹果有可能支付并将股息提高至1.89美元。苹果在2020年的股息上花费了140亿美元，将股息提高到1.89美元将使股价达到310亿美元。这将使他们的派息率提高到34%，这是现金牛公司的典型派息率。</blockquote> The expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.<blockquote>预期股息I项目基于股息占经营现金流的百分比。在过去的3年里，这一比例从15%到18%不等。我估计使用了1001.5亿美元的运营现金流，按19%计算，您将获得1.14美元的股息。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/153079186d84770e064411e34a42745e\" tg-width=\"304\" tg-height=\"74\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement<blockquote>资料来源：Seeking Alpha现金流量表</blockquote> Lastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple. If the current 2021 yield average of 0.63% becomes the new normal, Apple’s share price should rise to $163.49 - $180.95 based on my projected dividend increase.<blockquote>最后，低于1%的股息收益率有可能成为苹果的常态。如果目前2021年0.63%的平均收益率成为新常态，根据我预计的股息增长，苹果的股价应该会上涨至163.49美元至180.95美元。</blockquote> Conclusion<blockquote>结论</blockquote> Sell Apple, take your profits now. The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.<blockquote>卖出苹果，立即获利了结。超级周期将结束。稍后再来，等股息收益率较高时折价买入苹果。</blockquote>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n 来源：<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4443676-apple-take-your-profits-before-its-too-late\">seekingalpha</a>\n为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4443676-apple-take-your-profits-before-its-too-late","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1130492644","content_text":"Summary\n\nDividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy companies.\nApple’s current high growth is temporary.\nApple is on its way to becoming a dividend aristocrat.\n\nChristopher Jue/Getty Images Entertainment\nInvestment Thesis\nInvestors are treating Apple (AAPL) as if it has found a second growth spurt.

Apple is transitioning toward more service based revenues. This is a higher margin business but there is less explosive innovation, meaning growth will decline.<blockquote>投资者需要关注苹果作为股息贵族的未来。苹果正在向更多基于服务的收入转型。这是一项利润率较高的业务，但爆炸性创新较少，这意味着增长将会下降。</blockquote> At the current share price, investors are “locking in” a targeted return of 9% over the next 10 years based on some optimistic assumptions.<blockquote>以目前的股价，投资者基于一些乐观的假设，“锁定”了未来10年9%的目标回报率。</blockquote> <ul> <li>Growth of 19.3% for the first 5 years followed by 12% growth for the second five years.</li> <li>An expected dividend growth rate of 17.5%</li> <li>Apple reverts to their historic P/E of 21.</li> </ul> All of that together means Apple’s share price in 10 years will be $293.47 and the dividend will be at $4.43 a share giving existing shareholders a yield of 1.5% which is much closer to their current 5-year average yield.<blockquote><ul><li>前5年增长19.3%，第二个5年增长12%。</li><li>预期股息增长率为17.5%</li><li>苹果恢复到21的历史市盈率。</li></ul>所有这些加在一起意味着苹果10年后的股价将为293.47美元，股息将为每股4.43美元，现有股东的收益率为1.5%，更接近他们当前的5年平均收益率。</blockquote> Apple’s dividend payout ratio is currently 15.86%. Other companies in the IT sector like Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intuit (INTU) have a payout ratio of 51% and 25% respectively which shows Apple’s dividends will be much higher in the coming years. With a projected EPS of $14 in 2031 a 51% payout would mean a dividend of $7/sh.<blockquote>苹果目前的股息支付率为15.86%。德州仪器(TXN)和Intuit(INTU)等IT行业的其他公司的派息率分别为51%和25%，这表明苹果未来几年的股息将高得多。预计2031年每股收益为14美元，51%的派息意味着每股7美元的股息。</blockquote> Risk and Opportunity, The Dividend increase<blockquote>风险与机遇，股息增加</blockquote> Based on the 5 year average dividend yield and the current rate of dividend increases, it is likely the dividend will be increased to $1.03-$1.14. In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.<blockquote>根据5年平均股息收益率和当前股息增长率，股息可能会增加至1.03-1.14美元。为了让苹果在预计的未来股息中维持其历史收益率，苹果股价必须在80美元左右。苹果有可能支付并将股息提高至1.89美元。苹果在2020年的股息上花费了140亿美元，将股息提高到1.89美元将使股价达到310亿美元。这将使他们的派息率提高到34%，这是现金牛公司的典型派息率。</blockquote> The expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.<blockquote>预期股息I项目基于股息占经营现金流的百分比。在过去的3年里，这一比例从15%到18%不等。我估计使用了1001.5亿美元的运营现金流，按19%计算，您将获得1.14美元的股息。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/153079186d84770e064411e34a42745e\" tg-width=\"304\" tg-height=\"74\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement<blockquote>资料来源：Seeking Alpha现金流量表</blockquote> Lastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple. If the current 2021 yield average of 0.63% becomes the new normal, Apple’s share price should rise to $163.49 - $180.95 based on my projected dividend increase.<blockquote>最后，低于1%的股息收益率有可能成为苹果的常态。如果目前2021年0.63%的平均收益率成为新常态，根据我预计的股息增长，苹果的股价应该会上涨至163.49美元至180.95美元。</blockquote> Conclusion<blockquote>结论</blockquote> Sell Apple, take your profits now. The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.<blockquote>卖出苹果，立即获利了结。超级周期将结束。稍后再来，等股息收益率较高时折价买入苹果。</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Apple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nApple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nseekingalpha2021-08-02 09:29\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\nSummary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Dividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy companies.</li> <li>Apple’s current high growth is temporary.</li> <li>Apple is on its way to becoming a dividend aristocrat.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e45c69c559fb64f9cda12fb93f34c0d\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1097\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Christopher Jue/Getty Images Entertainment<blockquote><ul><li>股息收益率理论是健康公司股票高估和低估的重要指标。</li><li>苹果目前的高增长是暂时的。</li><li>苹果正在成为股息贵族。</li></ul>克里斯托弗·觉/盖蒂图片社娱乐公司</blockquote> Investment Thesis<blockquote>投资论文</blockquote> Investors are treating Apple (AAPL) as if it has found a second growth spurt. In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.<blockquote>投资者对待苹果（AAPL）就好像它已经找到了第二次增长。事实上，苹果现在是一头完全长大的摇钱树，而不是一头初露头角的小牛。疫情让许多公司比他们希望的更快地过渡到互联网。这对苹果来说是件好事，但由于它在大流行之前就已经是一家成熟的企业，因此它将恢复到大流行前的正常增长率。</blockquote> Apple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.<blockquote>苹果2016年至2020年的5年平均股息率为1.46%，目前苹果的股息率为0.68%。苹果已支付股息近10年，平均收益率约为1.4%。为了让苹果提供这样的收益率，股价必须下跌至75美元至85美元的范围。现在是时候在苹果利润恢复到均值之前获利了结了。</blockquote> Why Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory<blockquote>为什么苹果被高估，股息收益率理论</blockquote> Dividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.<blockquote>股息收益率理论是由投资质量趋势创始人杰拉尔丁·韦斯通过一本名为《股息不要说谎》的书推广的。股息收益率理论的本质是，高质量的公司往往具有“正常”的收益率，随着市场爱上或不爱上该公司，股息收益率会波动以创造买卖机会。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a469d363e933b84759428285f957590\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking Alphadividend yield<blockquote>资料来源：寻求阿尔法股息收益率</blockquote> Here we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.<blockquote>这里我们有苹果的股息收益率历史。查看平均收益率栏可以看到，苹果目前的平均收益率是自苹果首次开始支付股息以来的最低水平。这表明苹果是一个尖叫出售。另一方面，苹果平均收益率上一次高于2%是在2016年。当时，苹果是一个令人尖叫的买家。巧合的是，同年Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)开始购买苹果股票。</blockquote> The reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.<blockquote>之所以有效，是因为股息收益率是股价的乘积。看上图，你可以看到2016年到2018年股息收益率下降，这表明苹果的股价上涨。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/991e5d3137bf5ac3c9bc4aaf26c01581\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018<blockquote>资料来源：雅虎财经，2016年1月1日至2018年12月31日苹果股价</blockquote> That is exactly what happened.

This is a higher margin business but there is less explosive innovation, meaning growth will decline.<blockquote>投资者需要关注苹果作为股息贵族的未来。苹果正在向更多基于服务的收入转型。这是一项利润率较高的业务，但爆炸性创新较少，这意味着增长将会下降。</blockquote> At the current share price, investors are “locking in” a targeted return of 9% over the next 10 years based on some optimistic assumptions.<blockquote>以目前的股价，投资者基于一些乐观的假设，“锁定”了未来10年9%的目标回报率。</blockquote> <ul> <li>Growth of 19.3% for the first 5 years followed by 12% growth for the second five years.</li> <li>An expected dividend growth rate of 17.5%</li> <li>Apple reverts to their historic P/E of 21.</li> </ul> All of that together means Apple’s share price in 10 years will be $293.47 and the dividend will be at $4.43 a share giving existing shareholders a yield of 1.5% which is much closer to their current 5-year average yield.<blockquote><ul><li>前5年增长19.3%，第二个5年增长12%。</li><li>预期股息增长率为17.5%</li><li>苹果恢复到21的历史市盈率。</li></ul>所有这些加在一起意味着苹果10年后的股价将为293.47美元，股息将为每股4.43美元，现有股东的收益率为1.5%，更接近他们当前的5年平均收益率。</blockquote> Apple’s dividend payout ratio is currently 15.86%. Other companies in the IT sector like Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intuit (INTU) have a payout ratio of 51% and 25% respectively which shows Apple’s dividends will be much higher in the coming years. With a projected EPS of $14 in 2031 a 51% payout would mean a dividend of $7/sh.<blockquote>苹果目前的股息支付率为15.86%。德州仪器(TXN)和Intuit(INTU)等IT行业的其他公司的派息率分别为51%和25%，这表明苹果未来几年的股息将高得多。预计2031年每股收益为14美元，51%的派息意味着每股7美元的股息。</blockquote> Risk and Opportunity, The Dividend increase<blockquote>风险与机遇，股息增加</blockquote> Based on the 5 year average dividend yield and the current rate of dividend increases, it is likely the dividend will be increased to $1.03-$1.14. In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.<blockquote>根据5年平均股息收益率和当前股息增长率，股息可能会增加至1.03-1.14美元。为了让苹果在预计的未来股息中维持其历史收益率，苹果股价必须在80美元左右。苹果有可能支付并将股息提高至1.89美元。苹果在2020年的股息上花费了140亿美元，将股息提高到1.89美元将使股价达到310亿美元。这将使他们的派息率提高到34%，这是现金牛公司的典型派息率。</blockquote> The expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.<blockquote>预期股息I项目基于股息占经营现金流的百分比。在过去的3年里，这一比例从15%到18%不等。我估计使用了1001.5亿美元的运营现金流，按19%计算，您将获得1.14美元的股息。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/153079186d84770e064411e34a42745e\" tg-width=\"304\" tg-height=\"74\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement<blockquote>资料来源：Seeking Alpha现金流量表</blockquote> Lastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple.

The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.<blockquote>卖出苹果，立即获利了结。超级周期将结束。稍后再来，等股息收益率较高时折价买入苹果。</blockquote>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n 来源：<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4443676-apple-take-your-profits-before-its-too-late\">seekingalpha</a>\n为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4443676-apple-take-your-profits-before-its-too-late","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1130492644","content_text":"Summary\n\nDividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy companies.\nApple’s current high growth is temporary.\nApple is on its way to becoming a dividend aristocrat.\n\nChristopher Jue/Getty Images Entertainment\nInvestment Thesis\nInvestors are treating Apple (AAPL) as if it has found a second growth spurt. In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.\nApple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.\nWhy Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory\nDividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.\nSource: Seeking Alphadividend yield\nHere we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.\nThe reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.\nSource: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018\nThat is exactly what happened. At the peak of 2018 Apple’s dividend yield was 1.28%. At this time, Apple’s 5-year yield average was 1.86%. When 2018 ended Apple’s dividend yield was 1.97%. As you can now see, a company’s dividend yield can be a good proxy for value.\nThis Time Is not different\nI know some of you at this point are thinking, well, Dividend Yield Theory is nice and all but thanks to Covid this time is different. I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.\nIt is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus. Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.\nSource: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*\nAs we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products. Further down products are identified as the iPhone, Mac, iPad, Wearables, Home & Accessories.\n\nAgain the iPhone makes up the majority. The high growth rate in iPhone sales also backs up the theory that this round of growth is due to the Apple super cycle which seems to take place once every 3 years.\nSource: Seeking Alpha Financials, compiled by author\nThe pattern for the last 10 years has been 1 year of stellar growth followed by 2 years of much slower growth. As you can see this results in a 10-year CAGR of ~10% - 13% depending on where we are in the cycle.\nSource: Apple2017 10-K\nHere we see the 2015 super cycle followed by the growth declines in 2016 and 2017.\nSource: Apple2020 10-K\nAgain it happened in the more recent super cycle of 2018 followed by declines in growth for years 2019 and 2020.\nWhen we look into the revenue by product for these periods, we can see that iPhone sales decline and the other categories are unable to make up for the loss of revenue the next year. In the following year, 2017 and 2020, other sources of revenue increased enough for Apple’s total revenue to increase.\n\nPatterns are likely to repeat until something happens to change them. I don't see such a catalyst on the horizon, and currently iPhone sales are again carrying Apple’s revenue to record levels. iPhone sales seem to be selling so well because of the coming transition to 5G and many iPhone owners have a device that is at least 3 years old.\nThe iPhone 12 was unveiled and released in October 2020. This means the super cycle is expected to end with the iPhone 13 which is expected to come out in September or October. I believe this indicates FY 2022 will be a rough year for Apple shareholders.\nApple’s Third And Final Act - A Cash Cow\nInvestors need to pay attention to Apple’s future as a dividend aristocrat. Apple is transitioning toward more service based revenues. This is a higher margin business but there is less explosive innovation, meaning growth will decline.\nAt the current share price, investors are “locking in” a targeted return of 9% over the next 10 years based on some optimistic assumptions.\n\nGrowth of 19.3% for the first 5 years followed by 12% growth for the second five years.\nAn expected dividend growth rate of 17.5%\nApple reverts to their historic P/E of 21.\n\nAll of that together means Apple’s share price in 10 years will be $293.47 and the dividend will be at $4.43 a share giving existing shareholders a yield of 1.5% which is much closer to their current 5-year average yield.\nApple’s dividend payout ratio is currently 15.86%. Other companies in the IT sector like Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intuit (INTU) have a payout ratio of 51% and 25% respectively which shows Apple’s dividends will be much higher in the coming years. With a projected EPS of $14 in 2031 a 51% payout would mean a dividend of $7/sh.\nRisk and Opportunity, The Dividend increase\nBased on the 5 year average dividend yield and the current rate of dividend increases, it is likely the dividend will be increased to $1.03-$1.14.

The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":805831249,"gmtCreate":1627869086481,"gmtModify":1633755782391,"author":{"id":"3587008457873110","authorId":"3587008457873110","name":"tig2021","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/86558e2c1be0fae967630b306994ef5a","vip":1,"crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3587008457873110","idStr":"3587008457873110"},"htmlText":"Apple is looking at EV.&nbsp;","listText":"Apple is looking at EV.&nbsp;","text":"Apple is looking at EV.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/805831249","repostId":1130492644,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1130492644","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627867792,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1130492644?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-02 09:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1130492644","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nDividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy","content":"Summary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Dividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy companies.</li> <li>Apple’s current high growth is temporary.</li> <li>Apple is on its way to becoming a dividend aristocrat.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e45c69c559fb64f9cda12fb93f34c0d\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1097\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Christopher Jue/Getty Images Entertainment<blockquote><ul><li>股息收益率理论是健康公司股票高估和低估的重要指标。</li><li>苹果目前的高增长是暂时的。</li><li>苹果正在成为股息贵族。</li></ul>克里斯托弗·觉/盖蒂图片社娱乐公司</blockquote> Investment Thesis<blockquote>投资论文</blockquote> Investors are treating Apple (AAPL) as if it has found a second growth spurt.

In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89.

In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.<blockquote>投资者对待苹果（AAPL）就好像它已经找到了第二次增长。事实上，苹果现在是一头完全长大的摇钱树，而不是一头初露头角的小牛。疫情让许多公司比他们希望的更快地过渡到互联网。这对苹果来说是件好事，但由于它在大流行之前就已经是一家成熟的企业，因此它将恢复到大流行前的正常增长率。</blockquote> Apple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.<blockquote>苹果2016年至2020年的5年平均股息率为1.46%，目前苹果的股息率为0.68%。苹果已支付股息近10年，平均收益率约为1.4%。为了让苹果提供这样的收益率，股价必须下跌至75美元至85美元的范围。现在是时候在苹果利润恢复到均值之前获利了结了。</blockquote> Why Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory<blockquote>为什么苹果被高估，股息收益率理论</blockquote> Dividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.<blockquote>股息收益率理论是由投资质量趋势创始人杰拉尔丁·韦斯通过一本名为《股息不要说谎》的书推广的。股息收益率理论的本质是，高质量的公司往往具有“正常”的收益率，随着市场爱上或不爱上该公司，股息收益率会波动以创造买卖机会。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a469d363e933b84759428285f957590\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking Alphadividend yield<blockquote>资料来源：寻求阿尔法股息收益率</blockquote> Here we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.<blockquote>这里我们有苹果的股息收益率历史。查看平均收益率栏可以看到，苹果目前的平均收益率是自苹果首次开始支付股息以来的最低水平。这表明苹果是一个尖叫出售。另一方面，苹果平均收益率上一次高于2%是在2016年。当时，苹果是一个令人尖叫的买家。巧合的是，同年Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)开始购买苹果股票。</blockquote> The reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.<blockquote>之所以有效，是因为股息收益率是股价的乘积。看上图，你可以看到2016年到2018年股息收益率下降，这表明苹果的股价上涨。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/991e5d3137bf5ac3c9bc4aaf26c01581\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018<blockquote>资料来源：雅虎财经，2016年1月1日至2018年12月31日苹果股价</blockquote> That is exactly what happened. At the peak of 2018 Apple’s dividend yield was 1.28%. At this time, Apple’s 5-year yield average was 1.86%. When 2018 ended Apple’s dividend yield was 1.97%. As you can now see, a company’s dividend yield can be a good proxy for value.<blockquote>这正是发生的事情。2018年峰值时，苹果的股息收益率为1.28%。此时，苹果5年期收益率平均值为1.86%。2018年底，苹果的股息收益率为1.97%。正如您现在所看到的，公司的股息收益率可以很好地代表价值。</blockquote> This Time Is not different<blockquote>这次也不例外</blockquote> I know some of you at this point are thinking, well, Dividend Yield Theory is nice and all but thanks to Covid this time is different. I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.<blockquote>我知道你们中的一些人现在在想，股息收益率理论很好，但多亏了新冠疫情，这次不同了。我不认为这一次对苹果来说有什么不同，原因是因为苹果在大流行之前就已经成熟了。</blockquote> It is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus. Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.<blockquote>诚然，苹果和许多其他科技公司都从疫情中受益，但苹果与Shopify、Zoom和Disney Plus有很大不同。也就是说，苹果已经在很大程度上渗透了其整个目标市场。在疫情之前，我们大多数人从未听说过Zoom。我们开始在家工作，需要一个远程通信的解决方案，bam Zoom利用了这一点。在疫情之前，iPhone仍然是值得击败的智能手机，拥有数千万用户的智能手机，是远至中国的必备身份象征。2012年我在中国留学了一个学期。那段时间，我的教授告诉我们，身份象征对中国人有多重要。所有年龄段的学生在父母给他们买iPhone之前都不会去上学，因为没有它他们会丢脸。许多人负担不起电话套餐，我和我的朋友目睹了许多人拥有iPhone只是为了炫耀。那是在2012年，比疫情大流行早了8年。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ae87be3f096ac0a13d2e38634b8c34c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"310\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*<blockquote>资料来源：苹果2021年第三季度*涵盖2021年4月至6月*</blockquote> As we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products.

I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.\nIt is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus. Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.\nSource: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*\nAs we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products. Further down products are identified as the iPhone, Mac, iPad, Wearables, Home & Accessories.\n\nAgain the iPhone makes up the majority. The high growth rate in iPhone sales also backs up the theory that this round of growth is due to the Apple super cycle which seems to take place once every 3 years.\nSource: Seeking Alpha Financials, compiled by author\nThe pattern for the last 10 years has been 1 year of stellar growth followed by 2 years of much slower growth. As you can see this results in a 10-year CAGR of ~10% - 13% depending on where we are in the cycle.\nSource: Apple2017 10-K\nHere we see the 2015 super cycle followed by the growth declines in 2016 and 2017.\nSource: Apple2020 10-K\nAgain it happened in the more recent super cycle of 2018 followed by declines in growth for years 2019 and 2020.\nWhen we look into the revenue by product for these periods, we can see that iPhone sales decline and the other categories are unable to make up for the loss of revenue the next year. In the following year, 2017 and 2020, other sources of revenue increased enough for Apple’s total revenue to increase.\n\nPatterns are likely to repeat until something happens to change them. I don't see such a catalyst on the horizon, and currently iPhone sales are again carrying Apple’s revenue to record levels. iPhone sales seem to be selling so well because of the coming transition to 5G and many iPhone owners have a device that is at least 3 years old.\nThe iPhone 12 was unveiled and released in October 2020. This means the super cycle is expected to end with the iPhone 13 which is expected to come out in September or October. I believe this indicates FY 2022 will be a rough year for Apple shareholders.\nApple’s Third And Final Act - A Cash Cow\nInvestors need to pay attention to Apple’s future as a dividend aristocrat. Apple is transitioning toward more service based revenues. This is a higher margin business but there is less explosive innovation, meaning growth will decline.\nAt the current share price, investors are “locking in” a targeted return of 9% over the next 10 years based on some optimistic assumptions.\n\nGrowth of 19.3% for the first 5 years followed by 12% growth for the second five years.\nAn expected dividend growth rate of 17.5%\nApple reverts to their historic P/E of 21.\n\nAll of that together means Apple’s share price in 10 years will be $293.47 and the dividend will be at $4.43 a share giving existing shareholders a yield of 1.5% which is much closer to their current 5-year average yield.\nApple’s dividend payout ratio is currently 15.86%. Other companies in the IT sector like Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intuit (INTU) have a payout ratio of 51% and 25% respectively which shows Apple’s dividends will be much higher in the coming years. With a projected EPS of $14 in 2031 a 51% payout would mean a dividend of $7/sh.\nRisk and Opportunity, The Dividend increase\nBased on the 5 year average dividend yield and the current rate of dividend increases, it is likely the dividend will be increased to $1.03-$1.14. In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.\nThe expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.\nSource: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement\nLastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple. If the current 2021 yield average of 0.63% becomes the new normal, Apple’s share price should rise to $163.49 - $180.95 based on my projected dividend increase.\nConclusion\nSell Apple, take your profits now. The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":5398837,"gmtCreate":1627869096637,"gmtModify":1635162337739,"authorId":4090450537918820,"author":{"id":4090450537918820,"idStr":"4090450537918820","authorId":4090450537918820,"name":"crunchy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/37ac360d71bff47f2180e498d3e8eb88","vip":1,"crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":805831249,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"ok","text":"ok","html":"ok"},{"id":5399779,"gmtCreate":1627875144491,"gmtModify":1635162253177,"authorId":3584694909386842,"author":{"id":3584694909386842,"idStr":"3584694909386842","authorId":3584694909386842,"name":"29d6aa8f","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":805831249,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Nice","text":"Nice","html":"Nice"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":805895138,"gmtCreate":1627868711924,"gmtModify":1633755787905,"author":{"id":"3564525745521630","authorId":"3564525745521630","name":"Huat8989","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2ae8e0a19c3f1c3e762ed55ffc0e5335","vip":1,"crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3564525745521630","idStr":"3564525745521630"},"htmlText":"Great&nbsp;","listText":"Great&nbsp;","text":"Great","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/805895138","repostId":1130492644,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1130492644","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627867792,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1130492644?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-02 09:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1130492644","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nDividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy","content":"Summary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Dividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy companies.</li> <li>Apple’s current high growth is temporary.</li> <li>Apple is on its way to becoming a dividend aristocrat.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e45c69c559fb64f9cda12fb93f34c0d\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1097\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Christopher Jue/Getty Images Entertainment<blockquote><ul><li>股息收益率理论是健康公司股票高估和低估的重要指标。</li><li>苹果目前的高增长是暂时的。</li><li>苹果正在成为股息贵族。</li></ul>克里斯托弗·觉/盖蒂图片社娱乐公司</blockquote> Investment Thesis<blockquote>投资论文</blockquote> Investors are treating Apple (AAPL) as if it has found a second growth spurt. In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.<blockquote>投资者对待苹果（AAPL）就好像它已经找到了第二次增长。事实上，苹果现在是一头完全长大的摇钱树，而不是一头初露头角的小牛。疫情让许多公司比他们希望的更快地过渡到互联网。这对苹果来说是件好事，但由于它在大流行之前就已经是一家成熟的企业，因此它将恢复到大流行前的正常增长率。</blockquote> Apple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.<blockquote>苹果2016年至2020年的5年平均股息率为1.46%，目前苹果的股息率为0.68%。苹果已支付股息近10年，平均收益率约为1.4%。为了让苹果提供这样的收益率，股价必须下跌至75美元至85美元的范围。现在是时候在苹果利润恢复到均值之前获利了结了。</blockquote> Why Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory<blockquote>为什么苹果被高估，股息收益率理论</blockquote> Dividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.<blockquote>股息收益率理论是由投资质量趋势创始人杰拉尔丁·韦斯通过一本名为《股息不要说谎》的书推广的。股息收益率理论的本质是，高质量的公司往往具有“正常”的收益率，随着市场爱上或不爱上该公司，股息收益率会波动以创造买卖机会。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a469d363e933b84759428285f957590\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking Alphadividend yield<blockquote>资料来源：寻求阿尔法股息收益率</blockquote> Here we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.<blockquote>这里我们有苹果的股息收益率历史。查看平均收益率栏可以看到，苹果目前的平均收益率是自苹果首次开始支付股息以来的最低水平。这表明苹果是一个尖叫出售。另一方面，苹果平均收益率上一次高于2%是在2016年。当时，苹果是一个令人尖叫的买家。巧合的是，同年Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)开始购买苹果股票。</blockquote> The reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.<blockquote>之所以有效，是因为股息收益率是股价的乘积。看上图，你可以看到2016年到2018年股息收益率下降，这表明苹果的股价上涨。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/991e5d3137bf5ac3c9bc4aaf26c01581\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018<blockquote>资料来源：雅虎财经，2016年1月1日至2018年12月31日苹果股价</blockquote> That is exactly what happened.

I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.<blockquote>我知道你们中的一些人现在在想，股息收益率理论很好，但多亏了新冠疫情，这次不同了。我不认为这一次对苹果来说有什么不同，原因是因为苹果在大流行之前就已经成熟了。</blockquote> It is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus.

In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.<blockquote>投资者对待苹果（AAPL）就好像它已经找到了第二次增长。事实上，苹果现在是一头完全长大的摇钱树，而不是一头初露头角的小牛。疫情让许多公司比他们希望的更快地过渡到互联网。这对苹果来说是件好事，但由于它在大流行之前就已经是一家成熟的企业，因此它将恢复到大流行前的正常增长率。</blockquote> Apple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.<blockquote>苹果2016年至2020年的5年平均股息率为1.46%，目前苹果的股息率为0.68%。苹果已支付股息近10年，平均收益率约为1.4%。为了让苹果提供这样的收益率，股价必须下跌至75美元至85美元的范围。现在是时候在苹果利润恢复到均值之前获利了结了。</blockquote> Why Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory<blockquote>为什么苹果被高估，股息收益率理论</blockquote> Dividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.<blockquote>股息收益率理论是由投资质量趋势创始人杰拉尔丁·韦斯通过一本名为《股息不要说谎》的书推广的。股息收益率理论的本质是，高质量的公司往往具有“正常”的收益率，随着市场爱上或不爱上该公司，股息收益率会波动以创造买卖机会。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a469d363e933b84759428285f957590\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking Alphadividend yield<blockquote>资料来源：寻求阿尔法股息收益率</blockquote> Here we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.<blockquote>这里我们有苹果的股息收益率历史。查看平均收益率栏可以看到，苹果目前的平均收益率是自苹果首次开始支付股息以来的最低水平。这表明苹果是一个尖叫出售。另一方面，苹果平均收益率上一次高于2%是在2016年。当时，苹果是一个令人尖叫的买家。巧合的是，同年Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)开始购买苹果股票。</blockquote> The reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.<blockquote>之所以有效，是因为股息收益率是股价的乘积。看上图，你可以看到2016年到2018年股息收益率下降，这表明苹果的股价上涨。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/991e5d3137bf5ac3c9bc4aaf26c01581\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018<blockquote>资料来源：雅虎财经，2016年1月1日至2018年12月31日苹果股价</blockquote> That is exactly what happened. At the peak of 2018 Apple’s dividend yield was 1.28%. At this time, Apple’s 5-year yield average was 1.86%. When 2018 ended Apple’s dividend yield was 1.97%. As you can now see, a company’s dividend yield can be a good proxy for value.<blockquote>这正是发生的事情。2018年峰值时，苹果的股息收益率为1.28%。此时，苹果5年期收益率平均值为1.86%。2018年底，苹果的股息收益率为1.97%。正如您现在所看到的，公司的股息收益率可以很好地代表价值。</blockquote> This Time Is not different<blockquote>这次也不例外</blockquote> I know some of you at this point are thinking, well, Dividend Yield Theory is nice and all but thanks to Covid this time is different. I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.<blockquote>我知道你们中的一些人现在在想，股息收益率理论很好，但多亏了新冠疫情，这次不同了。我不认为这一次对苹果来说有什么不同，原因是因为苹果在大流行之前就已经成熟了。</blockquote> It is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus. Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.<blockquote>诚然，苹果和许多其他科技公司都从疫情中受益，但苹果与Shopify、Zoom和Disney Plus有很大不同。也就是说，苹果已经在很大程度上渗透了其整个目标市场。在疫情之前，我们大多数人从未听说过Zoom。我们开始在家工作，需要一个远程通信的解决方案，bam Zoom利用了这一点。在疫情之前，iPhone仍然是值得击败的智能手机，拥有数千万用户的智能手机，是远至中国的必备身份象征。2012年我在中国留学了一个学期。那段时间，我的教授告诉我们，身份象征对中国人有多重要。所有年龄段的学生在父母给他们买iPhone之前都不会去上学，因为没有它他们会丢脸。许多人负担不起电话套餐，我和我的朋友目睹了许多人拥有iPhone只是为了炫耀。那是在2012年，比疫情大流行早了8年。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ae87be3f096ac0a13d2e38634b8c34c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"310\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*<blockquote>资料来源：苹果2021年第三季度*涵盖2021年4月至6月*</blockquote> As we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products.

Apple is transitioning toward more service based revenues. This is a higher margin business but there is less explosive innovation, meaning growth will decline.<blockquote>投资者需要关注苹果作为股息贵族的未来。苹果正在向更多基于服务的收入转型。这是一项利润率较高的业务，但爆炸性创新较少，这意味着增长将会下降。</blockquote> At the current share price, investors are “locking in” a targeted return of 9% over the next 10 years based on some optimistic assumptions.<blockquote>以目前的股价，投资者基于一些乐观的假设，“锁定”了未来10年9%的目标回报率。</blockquote> <ul> <li>Growth of 19.3% for the first 5 years followed by 12% growth for the second five years.</li> <li>An expected dividend growth rate of 17.5%</li> <li>Apple reverts to their historic P/E of 21.</li> </ul> All of that together means Apple’s share price in 10 years will be $293.47 and the dividend will be at $4.43 a share giving existing shareholders a yield of 1.5% which is much closer to their current 5-year average yield.<blockquote><ul><li>前5年增长19.3%，第二个5年增长12%。</li><li>预期股息增长率为17.5%</li><li>苹果恢复到21的历史市盈率。</li></ul>所有这些加在一起意味着苹果10年后的股价将为293.47美元，股息将为每股4.43美元，现有股东的收益率为1.5%，更接近他们当前的5年平均收益率。</blockquote> Apple’s dividend payout ratio is currently 15.86%. Other companies in the IT sector like Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intuit (INTU) have a payout ratio of 51% and 25% respectively which shows Apple’s dividends will be much higher in the coming years. With a projected EPS of $14 in 2031 a 51% payout would mean a dividend of $7/sh.<blockquote>苹果目前的股息支付率为15.86%。德州仪器(TXN)和Intuit(INTU)等IT行业的其他公司的派息率分别为51%和25%，这表明苹果未来几年的股息将高得多。预计2031年每股收益为14美元，51%的派息意味着每股7美元的股息。</blockquote> Risk and Opportunity, The Dividend increase<blockquote>风险与机遇，股息增加</blockquote> Based on the 5 year average dividend yield and the current rate of dividend increases, it is likely the dividend will be increased to $1.03-$1.14. In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.<blockquote>根据5年平均股息收益率和当前股息增长率，股息可能会增加至1.03-1.14美元。为了让苹果在预计的未来股息中维持其历史收益率，苹果股价必须在80美元左右。苹果有可能支付并将股息提高至1.89美元。苹果在2020年的股息上花费了140亿美元，将股息提高到1.89美元将使股价达到310亿美元。这将使他们的派息率提高到34%，这是现金牛公司的典型派息率。</blockquote> The expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.<blockquote>预期股息I项目基于股息占经营现金流的百分比。在过去的3年里，这一比例从15%到18%不等。我估计使用了1001.5亿美元的运营现金流，按19%计算，您将获得1.14美元的股息。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/153079186d84770e064411e34a42745e\" tg-width=\"304\" tg-height=\"74\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement<blockquote>资料来源：Seeking Alpha现金流量表</blockquote> Lastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple.

In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.\nThe expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.\nSource: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement\nLastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple. If the current 2021 yield average of 0.63% becomes the new normal, Apple’s share price should rise to $163.49 - $180.95 based on my projected dividend increase.\nConclusion\nSell Apple, take your profits now. The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":805896576,"gmtCreate":1627868622095,"gmtModify":1633755789218,"author":{"id":"3568071651427696","authorId":"3568071651427696","name":"Pigmonkey","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3402225c0172781df7553e20722ebad7","vip":1,"crmLevel":13,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3568071651427696","idStr":"3568071651427696"},"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/805896576","repostId":1130492644,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1130492644","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627867792,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1130492644?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-02 09:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1130492644","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nDividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy","content":"Summary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Dividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy companies.</li> <li>Apple’s current high growth is temporary.</li> <li>Apple is on its way to becoming a dividend aristocrat.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e45c69c559fb64f9cda12fb93f34c0d\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1097\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Christopher Jue/Getty Images Entertainment<blockquote><ul><li>股息收益率理论是健康公司股票高估和低估的重要指标。</li><li>苹果目前的高增长是暂时的。</li><li>苹果正在成为股息贵族。</li></ul>克里斯托弗·觉/盖蒂图片社娱乐公司</blockquote> Investment Thesis<blockquote>投资论文</blockquote> Investors are treating Apple (AAPL) as if it has found a second growth spurt.

Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.<blockquote>这里我们有苹果的股息收益率历史。查看平均收益率栏可以看到，苹果目前的平均收益率是自苹果首次开始支付股息以来的最低水平。这表明苹果是一个尖叫出售。另一方面，苹果平均收益率上一次高于2%是在2016年。当时，苹果是一个令人尖叫的买家。巧合的是，同年Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)开始购买苹果股票。</blockquote> The reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.<blockquote>之所以有效，是因为股息收益率是股价的乘积。看上图，你可以看到2016年到2018年股息收益率下降，这表明苹果的股价上涨。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/991e5d3137bf5ac3c9bc4aaf26c01581\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018<blockquote>资料来源：雅虎财经，2016年1月1日至2018年12月31日苹果股价</blockquote> That is exactly what happened.

Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.<blockquote>诚然，苹果和许多其他科技公司都从疫情中受益，但苹果与Shopify、Zoom和Disney Plus有很大不同。也就是说，苹果已经在很大程度上渗透了其整个目标市场。在疫情之前，我们大多数人从未听说过Zoom。我们开始在家工作，需要一个远程通信的解决方案，bam Zoom利用了这一点。在疫情之前，iPhone仍然是值得击败的智能手机，拥有数千万用户的智能手机，是远至中国的必备身份象征。2012年我在中国留学了一个学期。那段时间，我的教授告诉我们，身份象征对中国人有多重要。所有年龄段的学生在父母给他们买iPhone之前都不会去上学，因为没有它他们会丢脸。许多人负担不起电话套餐，我和我的朋友目睹了许多人拥有iPhone只是为了炫耀。那是在2012年，比疫情大流行早了8年。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ae87be3f096ac0a13d2e38634b8c34c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"310\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*<blockquote>资料来源：苹果2021年第三季度*涵盖2021年4月至6月*</blockquote> As we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products.

The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.<blockquote>卖出苹果，立即获利了结。超级周期将结束。稍后再来，等股息收益率较高时折价买入苹果。</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Apple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nApple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nseekingalpha2021-08-02 09:29\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\nSummary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Dividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy companies.</li> <li>Apple’s current high growth is temporary.</li> <li>Apple is on its way to becoming a dividend aristocrat.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e45c69c559fb64f9cda12fb93f34c0d\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1097\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Christopher Jue/Getty Images Entertainment<blockquote><ul><li>股息收益率理论是健康公司股票高估和低估的重要指标。</li><li>苹果目前的高增长是暂时的。</li><li>苹果正在成为股息贵族。</li></ul>克里斯托弗·觉/盖蒂图片社娱乐公司</blockquote> Investment Thesis<blockquote>投资论文</blockquote> Investors are treating Apple (AAPL) as if it has found a second growth spurt.

Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.<blockquote>诚然，苹果和许多其他科技公司都从疫情中受益，但苹果与Shopify、Zoom和Disney Plus有很大不同。也就是说，苹果已经在很大程度上渗透了其整个目标市场。在疫情之前，我们大多数人从未听说过Zoom。我们开始在家工作，需要一个远程通信的解决方案，bam Zoom利用了这一点。在疫情之前，iPhone仍然是值得击败的智能手机，拥有数千万用户的智能手机，是远至中国的必备身份象征。2012年我在中国留学了一个学期。那段时间，我的教授告诉我们，身份象征对中国人有多重要。所有年龄段的学生在父母给他们买iPhone之前都不会去上学，因为没有它他们会丢脸。许多人负担不起电话套餐，我和我的朋友目睹了许多人拥有iPhone只是为了炫耀。那是在2012年，比疫情大流行早了8年。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ae87be3f096ac0a13d2e38634b8c34c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"310\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*<blockquote>资料来源：苹果2021年第三季度*涵盖2021年4月至6月*</blockquote> As we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products.

In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.<blockquote>根据5年平均股息收益率和当前股息增长率，股息可能会增加至1.03-1.14美元。为了让苹果在预计的未来股息中维持其历史收益率，苹果股价必须在80美元左右。苹果有可能支付并将股息提高至1.89美元。苹果在2020年的股息上花费了140亿美元，将股息提高到1.89美元将使股价达到310亿美元。这将使他们的派息率提高到34%，这是现金牛公司的典型派息率。</blockquote> The expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.<blockquote>预期股息I项目基于股息占经营现金流的百分比。在过去的3年里，这一比例从15%到18%不等。我估计使用了1001.5亿美元的运营现金流，按19%计算，您将获得1.14美元的股息。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/153079186d84770e064411e34a42745e\" tg-width=\"304\" tg-height=\"74\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement<blockquote>资料来源：Seeking Alpha现金流量表</blockquote> Lastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple.

The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.<blockquote>卖出苹果，立即获利了结。超级周期将结束。稍后再来，等股息收益率较高时折价买入苹果。</blockquote>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n 来源：<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4443676-apple-take-your-profits-before-its-too-late\">seekingalpha</a>\n为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4443676-apple-take-your-profits-before-its-too-late","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1130492644","content_text":"Summary\n\nDividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy companies.\nApple’s current high growth is temporary.\nApple is on its way to becoming a dividend aristocrat.\n\nChristopher Jue/Getty Images Entertainment\nInvestment Thesis\nInvestors are treating Apple (AAPL) as if it has found a second growth spurt.

Other companies in the IT sector like Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intuit (INTU) have a payout ratio of 51% and 25% respectively which shows Apple’s dividends will be much higher in the coming years. With a projected EPS of $14 in 2031 a 51% payout would mean a dividend of $7/sh.<blockquote>苹果目前的股息支付率为15.86%。德州仪器(TXN)和Intuit(INTU)等IT行业的其他公司的派息率分别为51%和25%，这表明苹果未来几年的股息将高得多。预计2031年每股收益为14美元，51%的派息意味着每股7美元的股息。</blockquote> Risk and Opportunity, The Dividend increase<blockquote>风险与机遇，股息增加</blockquote> Based on the 5 year average dividend yield and the current rate of dividend increases, it is likely the dividend will be increased to $1.03-$1.14. In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.<blockquote>根据5年平均股息收益率和当前股息增长率，股息可能会增加至1.03-1.14美元。为了让苹果在预计的未来股息中维持其历史收益率，苹果股价必须在80美元左右。苹果有可能支付并将股息提高至1.89美元。苹果在2020年的股息上花费了140亿美元，将股息提高到1.89美元将使股价达到310亿美元。这将使他们的派息率提高到34%，这是现金牛公司的典型派息率。</blockquote> The expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.<blockquote>预期股息I项目基于股息占经营现金流的百分比。在过去的3年里，这一比例从15%到18%不等。我估计使用了1001.5亿美元的运营现金流，按19%计算，您将获得1.14美元的股息。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/153079186d84770e064411e34a42745e\" tg-width=\"304\" tg-height=\"74\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement<blockquote>资料来源：Seeking Alpha现金流量表</blockquote> Lastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple. If the current 2021 yield average of 0.63% becomes the new normal, Apple’s share price should rise to $163.49 - $180.95 based on my projected dividend increase.<blockquote>最后，低于1%的股息收益率有可能成为苹果的常态。如果目前2021年0.63%的平均收益率成为新常态，根据我预计的股息增长，苹果的股价应该会上涨至163.49美元至180.95美元。</blockquote> Conclusion<blockquote>结论</blockquote> Sell Apple, take your profits now. The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.<blockquote>卖出苹果，立即获利了结。超级周期将结束。稍后再来，等股息收益率较高时折价买入苹果。</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Apple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nApple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nseekingalpha2021-08-02 09:29\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\nSummary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Dividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy companies.</li> <li>Apple’s current high growth is temporary.</li> <li>Apple is on its way to becoming a dividend aristocrat.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e45c69c559fb64f9cda12fb93f34c0d\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1097\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Christopher Jue/Getty Images Entertainment<blockquote><ul><li>股息收益率理论是健康公司股票高估和低估的重要指标。</li><li>苹果目前的高增长是暂时的。</li><li>苹果正在成为股息贵族。</li></ul>克里斯托弗·觉/盖蒂图片社娱乐公司</blockquote> Investment Thesis<blockquote>投资论文</blockquote> Investors are treating Apple (AAPL) as if it has found a second growth spurt. In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.<blockquote>投资者对待苹果（AAPL）就好像它已经找到了第二次增长。事实上，苹果现在是一头完全长大的摇钱树，而不是一头初露头角的小牛。疫情让许多公司比他们希望的更快地过渡到互联网。这对苹果来说是件好事，但由于它在大流行之前就已经是一家成熟的企业，因此它将恢复到大流行前的正常增长率。</blockquote> Apple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.<blockquote>苹果2016年至2020年的5年平均股息率为1.46%，目前苹果的股息率为0.68%。苹果已支付股息近10年，平均收益率约为1.4%。为了让苹果提供这样的收益率，股价必须下跌至75美元至85美元的范围。现在是时候在苹果利润恢复到均值之前获利了结了。</blockquote> Why Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory<blockquote>为什么苹果被高估，股息收益率理论</blockquote> Dividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.<blockquote>股息收益率理论是由投资质量趋势创始人杰拉尔丁·韦斯通过一本名为《股息不要说谎》的书推广的。股息收益率理论的本质是，高质量的公司往往具有“正常”的收益率，随着市场爱上或不爱上该公司，股息收益率会波动以创造买卖机会。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a469d363e933b84759428285f957590\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking Alphadividend yield<blockquote>资料来源：寻求阿尔法股息收益率</blockquote> Here we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History.

In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.<blockquote>根据5年平均股息收益率和当前股息增长率，股息可能会增加至1.03-1.14美元。为了让苹果在预计的未来股息中维持其历史收益率，苹果股价必须在80美元左右。苹果有可能支付并将股息提高至1.89美元。苹果在2020年的股息上花费了140亿美元，将股息提高到1.89美元将使股价达到310亿美元。这将使他们的派息率提高到34%，这是现金牛公司的典型派息率。</blockquote> The expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up.

In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.\nApple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.\nWhy Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory\nDividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.\nSource: Seeking Alphadividend yield\nHere we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.\nThe reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.\nSource: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018\nThat is exactly what happened. At the peak of 2018 Apple’s dividend yield was 1.28%. At this time, Apple’s 5-year yield average was 1.86%. When 2018 ended Apple’s dividend yield was 1.97%. As you can now see, a company’s dividend yield can be a good proxy for value.\nThis Time Is not different\nI know some of you at this point are thinking, well, Dividend Yield Theory is nice and all but thanks to Covid this time is different. I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.\nIt is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus. Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.\nSource: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*\nAs we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products. Further down products are identified as the iPhone, Mac, iPad, Wearables, Home & Accessories.\n\nAgain the iPhone makes up the majority. The high growth rate in iPhone sales also backs up the theory that this round of growth is due to the Apple super cycle which seems to take place once every 3 years.\nSource: Seeking Alpha Financials, compiled by author\nThe pattern for the last 10 years has been 1 year of stellar growth followed by 2 years of much slower growth. As you can see this results in a 10-year CAGR of ~10% - 13% depending on where we are in the cycle.\nSource: Apple2017 10-K\nHere we see the 2015 super cycle followed by the growth declines in 2016 and 2017.\nSource: Apple2020 10-K\nAgain it happened in the more recent super cycle of 2018 followed by declines in growth for years 2019 and 2020.\nWhen we look into the revenue by product for these periods, we can see that iPhone sales decline and the other categories are unable to make up for the loss of revenue the next year.

In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89.

In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.<blockquote>投资者对待苹果（AAPL）就好像它已经找到了第二次增长。事实上，苹果现在是一头完全长大的摇钱树，而不是一头初露头角的小牛。疫情让许多公司比他们希望的更快地过渡到互联网。这对苹果来说是件好事，但由于它在大流行之前就已经是一家成熟的企业，因此它将恢复到大流行前的正常增长率。</blockquote> Apple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.<blockquote>苹果2016年至2020年的5年平均股息率为1.46%，目前苹果的股息率为0.68%。苹果已支付股息近10年，平均收益率约为1.4%。为了让苹果提供这样的收益率，股价必须下跌至75美元至85美元的范围。现在是时候在苹果利润恢复到均值之前获利了结了。</blockquote> Why Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory<blockquote>为什么苹果被高估，股息收益率理论</blockquote> Dividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.<blockquote>股息收益率理论是由投资质量趋势创始人杰拉尔丁·韦斯通过一本名为《股息不要说谎》的书推广的。股息收益率理论的本质是，高质量的公司往往具有“正常”的收益率，随着市场爱上或不爱上该公司，股息收益率会波动以创造买卖机会。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a469d363e933b84759428285f957590\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking Alphadividend yield<blockquote>资料来源：寻求阿尔法股息收益率</blockquote> Here we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.<blockquote>这里我们有苹果的股息收益率历史。查看平均收益率栏可以看到，苹果目前的平均收益率是自苹果首次开始支付股息以来的最低水平。这表明苹果是一个尖叫出售。另一方面，苹果平均收益率上一次高于2%是在2016年。当时，苹果是一个令人尖叫的买家。巧合的是，同年Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)开始购买苹果股票。</blockquote> The reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.<blockquote>之所以有效，是因为股息收益率是股价的乘积。看上图，你可以看到2016年到2018年股息收益率下降，这表明苹果的股价上涨。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/991e5d3137bf5ac3c9bc4aaf26c01581\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018<blockquote>资料来源：雅虎财经，2016年1月1日至2018年12月31日苹果股价</blockquote> That is exactly what happened. At the peak of 2018 Apple’s dividend yield was 1.28%. At this time, Apple’s 5-year yield average was 1.86%. When 2018 ended Apple’s dividend yield was 1.97%. As you can now see, a company’s dividend yield can be a good proxy for value.<blockquote>这正是发生的事情。2018年峰值时，苹果的股息收益率为1.28%。此时，苹果5年期收益率平均值为1.86%。2018年底，苹果的股息收益率为1.97%。正如您现在所看到的，公司的股息收益率可以很好地代表价值。</blockquote> This Time Is not different<blockquote>这次也不例外</blockquote> I know some of you at this point are thinking, well, Dividend Yield Theory is nice and all but thanks to Covid this time is different. I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.<blockquote>我知道你们中的一些人现在在想，股息收益率理论很好，但多亏了新冠疫情，这次不同了。我不认为这一次对苹果来说有什么不同，原因是因为苹果在大流行之前就已经成熟了。</blockquote> It is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus. Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.<blockquote>诚然，苹果和许多其他科技公司都从疫情中受益，但苹果与Shopify、Zoom和Disney Plus有很大不同。也就是说，苹果已经在很大程度上渗透了其整个目标市场。在疫情之前，我们大多数人从未听说过Zoom。我们开始在家工作，需要一个远程通信的解决方案，bam Zoom利用了这一点。在疫情之前，iPhone仍然是值得击败的智能手机，拥有数千万用户的智能手机，是远至中国的必备身份象征。2012年我在中国留学了一个学期。那段时间，我的教授告诉我们，身份象征对中国人有多重要。所有年龄段的学生在父母给他们买iPhone之前都不会去上学，因为没有它他们会丢脸。许多人负担不起电话套餐，我和我的朋友目睹了许多人拥有iPhone只是为了炫耀。那是在2012年，比疫情大流行早了8年。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ae87be3f096ac0a13d2e38634b8c34c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"310\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*<blockquote>资料来源：苹果2021年第三季度*涵盖2021年4月至6月*</blockquote> As we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products.

In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.\nApple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.\nWhy Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory\nDividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.\nSource: Seeking Alphadividend yield\nHere we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.\nThe reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.\nSource: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018\nThat is exactly what happened. At the peak of 2018 Apple’s dividend yield was 1.28%. At this time, Apple’s 5-year yield average was 1.86%. When 2018 ended Apple’s dividend yield was 1.97%. As you can now see, a company’s dividend yield can be a good proxy for value.\nThis Time Is not different\nI know some of you at this point are thinking, well, Dividend Yield Theory is nice and all but thanks to Covid this time is different. I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.\nIt is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus. Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.\nSource: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*\nAs we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products. Further down products are identified as the iPhone, Mac, iPad, Wearables, Home & Accessories.\n\nAgain the iPhone makes up the majority. The high growth rate in iPhone sales also backs up the theory that this round of growth is due to the Apple super cycle which seems to take place once every 3 years.\nSource: Seeking Alpha Financials, compiled by author\nThe pattern for the last 10 years has been 1 year of stellar growth followed by 2 years of much slower growth. As you can see this results in a 10-year CAGR of ~10% - 13% depending on where we are in the cycle.\nSource: Apple2017 10-K\nHere we see the 2015 super cycle followed by the growth declines in 2016 and 2017.\nSource: Apple2020 10-K\nAgain it happened in the more recent super cycle of 2018 followed by declines in growth for years 2019 and 2020.\nWhen we look into the revenue by product for these periods, we can see that iPhone sales decline and the other categories are unable to make up for the loss of revenue the next year. In the following year, 2017 and 2020, other sources of revenue increased enough for Apple’s total revenue to increase.\n\nPatterns are likely to repeat until something happens to change them. I don't see such a catalyst on the horizon, and currently iPhone sales are again carrying Apple’s revenue to record levels. iPhone sales seem to be selling so well because of the coming transition to 5G and many iPhone owners have a device that is at least 3 years old.\nThe iPhone 12 was unveiled and released in October 2020. This means the super cycle is expected to end with the iPhone 13 which is expected to come out in September or October. I believe this indicates FY 2022 will be a rough year for Apple shareholders.\nApple’s Third And Final Act - A Cash Cow\nInvestors need to pay attention to Apple’s future as a dividend aristocrat. Apple is transitioning toward more service based revenues. This is a higher margin business but there is less explosive innovation, meaning growth will decline.\nAt the current share price, investors are “locking in” a targeted return of 9% over the next 10 years based on some optimistic assumptions.\n\nGrowth of 19.3% for the first 5 years followed by 12% growth for the second five years.\nAn expected dividend growth rate of 17.5%\nApple reverts to their historic P/E of 21.\n\nAll of that together means Apple’s share price in 10 years will be $293.47 and the dividend will be at $4.43 a share giving existing shareholders a yield of 1.5% which is much closer to their current 5-year average yield.\nApple’s dividend payout ratio is currently 15.86%. Other companies in the IT sector like Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intuit (INTU) have a payout ratio of 51% and 25% respectively which shows Apple’s dividends will be much higher in the coming years. With a projected EPS of $14 in 2031 a 51% payout would mean a dividend of $7/sh.\nRisk and Opportunity, The Dividend increase\nBased on the 5 year average dividend yield and the current rate of dividend increases, it is likely the dividend will be increased to $1.03-$1.14. In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.\nThe expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.\nSource: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement\nLastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple. If the current 2021 yield average of 0.63% becomes the new normal, Apple’s share price should rise to $163.49 - $180.95 based on my projected dividend increase.\nConclusion\nSell Apple, take your profits now. The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":5398725,"gmtCreate":1627868416338,"gmtModify":1635162348888,"authorId":3586492916274801,"author":{"id":3586492916274801,"idStr":"3586492916274801","authorId":3586492916274801,"name":"STSL","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/49e8aa4445808964ca4d2a2f3937956e","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":805807430,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"cool","text":"cool","html":"cool"},{"id":5398746,"gmtCreate":1627868527830,"gmtModify":1635162346736,"authorId":3574881932341088,"author":{"id":3574881932341088,"idStr":"3574881932341088","authorId":3574881932341088,"name":"46afca07","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":805807430,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"good","text":"good","html":"good"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":805807532,"gmtCreate":1627868390726,"gmtModify":1631891688964,"author":{"id":"3581573678394869","authorId":"3581573678394869","name":"Miracle99","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1cfacd38670cd13d8111d4ffe2d88a3f","vip":1,"crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3581573678394869","idStr":"3581573678394869"},"htmlText":"Hmm…selling Apple&nbsp;now?

This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.<blockquote>根据5年平均股息收益率和当前股息增长率，股息可能会增加至1.03-1.14美元。为了让苹果在预计的未来股息中维持其历史收益率，苹果股价必须在80美元左右。苹果有可能支付并将股息提高至1.89美元。苹果在2020年的股息上花费了140亿美元，将股息提高到1.89美元将使股价达到310亿美元。这将使他们的派息率提高到34%，这是现金牛公司的典型派息率。</blockquote> The expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.<blockquote>预期股息I项目基于股息占经营现金流的百分比。在过去的3年里，这一比例从15%到18%不等。我估计使用了1001.5亿美元的运营现金流，按19%计算，您将获得1.14美元的股息。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/153079186d84770e064411e34a42745e\" tg-width=\"304\" tg-height=\"74\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement<blockquote>资料来源：Seeking Alpha现金流量表</blockquote> Lastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple.

In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.<blockquote>投资者对待苹果（AAPL）就好像它已经找到了第二次增长。事实上，苹果现在是一头完全长大的摇钱树，而不是一头初露头角的小牛。疫情让许多公司比他们希望的更快地过渡到互联网。这对苹果来说是件好事，但由于它在大流行之前就已经是一家成熟的企业，因此它将恢复到大流行前的正常增长率。</blockquote> Apple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.<blockquote>苹果2016年至2020年的5年平均股息率为1.46%，目前苹果的股息率为0.68%。苹果已支付股息近10年，平均收益率约为1.4%。为了让苹果提供这样的收益率，股价必须下跌至75美元至85美元的范围。现在是时候在苹果利润恢复到均值之前获利了结了。</blockquote> Why Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory<blockquote>为什么苹果被高估，股息收益率理论</blockquote> Dividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.<blockquote>股息收益率理论是由投资质量趋势创始人杰拉尔丁·韦斯通过一本名为《股息不要说谎》的书推广的。股息收益率理论的本质是，高质量的公司往往具有“正常”的收益率，随着市场爱上或不爱上该公司，股息收益率会波动以创造买卖机会。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a469d363e933b84759428285f957590\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking Alphadividend yield<blockquote>资料来源：寻求阿尔法股息收益率</blockquote> Here we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.<blockquote>这里我们有苹果的股息收益率历史。查看平均收益率栏可以看到，苹果目前的平均收益率是自苹果首次开始支付股息以来的最低水平。这表明苹果是一个尖叫出售。另一方面，苹果平均收益率上一次高于2%是在2016年。当时，苹果是一个令人尖叫的买家。巧合的是，同年Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)开始购买苹果股票。</blockquote> The reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.<blockquote>之所以有效，是因为股息收益率是股价的乘积。看上图，你可以看到2016年到2018年股息收益率下降，这表明苹果的股价上涨。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/991e5d3137bf5ac3c9bc4aaf26c01581\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018<blockquote>资料来源：雅虎财经，2016年1月1日至2018年12月31日苹果股价</blockquote> That is exactly what happened. At the peak of 2018 Apple’s dividend yield was 1.28%. At this time, Apple’s 5-year yield average was 1.86%. When 2018 ended Apple’s dividend yield was 1.97%. As you can now see, a company’s dividend yield can be a good proxy for value.<blockquote>这正是发生的事情。2018年峰值时，苹果的股息收益率为1.28%。此时，苹果5年期收益率平均值为1.86%。2018年底，苹果的股息收益率为1.97%。正如您现在所看到的，公司的股息收益率可以很好地代表价值。</blockquote> This Time Is not different<blockquote>这次也不例外</blockquote> I know some of you at this point are thinking, well, Dividend Yield Theory is nice and all but thanks to Covid this time is different. I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.<blockquote>我知道你们中的一些人现在在想，股息收益率理论很好，但多亏了新冠疫情，这次不同了。我不认为这一次对苹果来说有什么不同，原因是因为苹果在大流行之前就已经成熟了。</blockquote> It is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus. Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.<blockquote>诚然，苹果和许多其他科技公司都从疫情中受益，但苹果与Shopify、Zoom和Disney Plus有很大不同。也就是说，苹果已经在很大程度上渗透了其整个目标市场。在疫情之前，我们大多数人从未听说过Zoom。我们开始在家工作，需要一个远程通信的解决方案，bam Zoom利用了这一点。在疫情之前，iPhone仍然是值得击败的智能手机，拥有数千万用户的智能手机，是远至中国的必备身份象征。2012年我在中国留学了一个学期。那段时间，我的教授告诉我们，身份象征对中国人有多重要。所有年龄段的学生在父母给他们买iPhone之前都不会去上学，因为没有它他们会丢脸。许多人负担不起电话套餐，我和我的朋友目睹了许多人拥有iPhone只是为了炫耀。那是在2012年，比疫情大流行早了8年。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ae87be3f096ac0a13d2e38634b8c34c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"310\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*<blockquote>资料来源：苹果2021年第三季度*涵盖2021年4月至6月*</blockquote> As we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products.

Apple is transitioning toward more service based revenues. This is a higher margin business but there is less explosive innovation, meaning growth will decline.<blockquote>投资者需要关注苹果作为股息贵族的未来。苹果正在向更多基于服务的收入转型。这是一项利润率较高的业务，但爆炸性创新较少，这意味着增长将会下降。</blockquote> At the current share price, investors are “locking in” a targeted return of 9% over the next 10 years based on some optimistic assumptions.<blockquote>以目前的股价，投资者基于一些乐观的假设，“锁定”了未来10年9%的目标回报率。</blockquote> <ul> <li>Growth of 19.3% for the first 5 years followed by 12% growth for the second five years.</li> <li>An expected dividend growth rate of 17.5%</li> <li>Apple reverts to their historic P/E of 21.</li> </ul> All of that together means Apple’s share price in 10 years will be $293.47 and the dividend will be at $4.43 a share giving existing shareholders a yield of 1.5% which is much closer to their current 5-year average yield.<blockquote><ul><li>前5年增长19.3%，第二个5年增长12%。</li><li>预期股息增长率为17.5%</li><li>苹果恢复到21的历史市盈率。</li></ul>所有这些加在一起意味着苹果10年后的股价将为293.47美元，股息将为每股4.43美元，现有股东的收益率为1.5%，更接近他们当前的5年平均收益率。</blockquote> Apple’s dividend payout ratio is currently 15.86%. Other companies in the IT sector like Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intuit (INTU) have a payout ratio of 51% and 25% respectively which shows Apple’s dividends will be much higher in the coming years. With a projected EPS of $14 in 2031 a 51% payout would mean a dividend of $7/sh.<blockquote>苹果目前的股息支付率为15.86%。德州仪器(TXN)和Intuit(INTU)等IT行业的其他公司的派息率分别为51%和25%，这表明苹果未来几年的股息将高得多。预计2031年每股收益为14美元，51%的派息意味着每股7美元的股息。</blockquote> Risk and Opportunity, The Dividend increase<blockquote>风险与机遇，股息增加</blockquote> Based on the 5 year average dividend yield and the current rate of dividend increases, it is likely the dividend will be increased to $1.03-$1.14. In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89.

I don't see such a catalyst on the horizon, and currently iPhone sales are again carrying Apple’s revenue to record levels. iPhone sales seem to be selling so well because of the coming transition to 5G and many iPhone owners have a device that is at least 3 years old.\nThe iPhone 12 was unveiled and released in October 2020. This means the super cycle is expected to end with the iPhone 13 which is expected to come out in September or October. I believe this indicates FY 2022 will be a rough year for Apple shareholders.\nApple’s Third And Final Act - A Cash Cow\nInvestors need to pay attention to Apple’s future as a dividend aristocrat. Apple is transitioning toward more service based revenues. This is a higher margin business but there is less explosive innovation, meaning growth will decline.\nAt the current share price, investors are “locking in” a targeted return of 9% over the next 10 years based on some optimistic assumptions.\n\nGrowth of 19.3% for the first 5 years followed by 12% growth for the second five years.\nAn expected dividend growth rate of 17.5%\nApple reverts to their historic P/E of 21.\n\nAll of that together means Apple’s share price in 10 years will be $293.47 and the dividend will be at $4.43 a share giving existing shareholders a yield of 1.5% which is much closer to their current 5-year average yield.\nApple’s dividend payout ratio is currently 15.86%. Other companies in the IT sector like Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intuit (INTU) have a payout ratio of 51% and 25% respectively which shows Apple’s dividends will be much higher in the coming years. With a projected EPS of $14 in 2031 a 51% payout would mean a dividend of $7/sh.\nRisk and Opportunity, The Dividend increase\nBased on the 5 year average dividend yield and the current rate of dividend increases, it is likely the dividend will be increased to $1.03-$1.14. In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.\nThe expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.\nSource: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement\nLastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple. If the current 2021 yield average of 0.63% becomes the new normal, Apple’s share price should rise to $163.49 - $180.95 based on my projected dividend increase.\nConclusion\nSell Apple, take your profits now. The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":5399092,"gmtCreate":1627870427092,"gmtModify":1631891688968,"authorId":3577938728188071,"author":{"id":3577938728188071,"idStr":"3577938728188071","authorId":3577938728188071,"name":"Melvin888","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1f7e36200d6d8c6159f6d35c041d8e3e","vip":1,"crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":805807532,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Yes hold long term ","text":"Yes hold long term ","html":"Yes hold long term "}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":805806226,"gmtCreate":1627868188165,"gmtModify":1633755797879,"author":{"id":"3572053070508728","authorId":"3572053070508728","name":"Darrs21","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4369b2898eb8897a14eac55da66c4ba5","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3572053070508728","idStr":"3572053070508728"},"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/805806226","repostId":1130492644,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1130492644","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627867792,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1130492644?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-02 09:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1130492644","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nDividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy","content":"Summary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Dividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy companies.</li> <li>Apple’s current high growth is temporary.</li> <li>Apple is on its way to becoming a dividend aristocrat.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e45c69c559fb64f9cda12fb93f34c0d\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1097\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Christopher Jue/Getty Images Entertainment<blockquote><ul><li>股息收益率理论是健康公司股票高估和低估的重要指标。</li><li>苹果目前的高增长是暂时的。</li><li>苹果正在成为股息贵族。</li></ul>克里斯托弗·觉/盖蒂图片社娱乐公司</blockquote> Investment Thesis<blockquote>投资论文</blockquote> Investors are treating Apple (AAPL) as if it has found a second growth spurt. In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.<blockquote>投资者对待苹果（AAPL）就好像它已经找到了第二次增长。事实上，苹果现在是一头完全长大的摇钱树，而不是一头初露头角的小牛。疫情让许多公司比他们希望的更快地过渡到互联网。这对苹果来说是件好事，但由于它在大流行之前就已经是一家成熟的企业，因此它将恢复到大流行前的正常增长率。</blockquote> Apple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.<blockquote>苹果2016年至2020年的5年平均股息率为1.46%，目前苹果的股息率为0.68%。苹果已支付股息近10年，平均收益率约为1.4%。为了让苹果提供这样的收益率，股价必须下跌至75美元至85美元的范围。现在是时候在苹果利润恢复到均值之前获利了结了。</blockquote> Why Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory<blockquote>为什么苹果被高估，股息收益率理论</blockquote> Dividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.<blockquote>股息收益率理论是由投资质量趋势创始人杰拉尔丁·韦斯通过一本名为《股息不要说谎》的书推广的。股息收益率理论的本质是，高质量的公司往往具有“正常”的收益率，随着市场爱上或不爱上该公司，股息收益率会波动以创造买卖机会。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a469d363e933b84759428285f957590\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking Alphadividend yield<blockquote>资料来源：寻求阿尔法股息收益率</blockquote> Here we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.<blockquote>这里我们有苹果的股息收益率历史。查看平均收益率栏可以看到，苹果目前的平均收益率是自苹果首次开始支付股息以来的最低水平。这表明苹果是一个尖叫出售。另一方面，苹果平均收益率上一次高于2%是在2016年。当时，苹果是一个令人尖叫的买家。巧合的是，同年Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)开始购买苹果股票。</blockquote> The reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.<blockquote>之所以有效，是因为股息收益率是股价的乘积。看上图，你可以看到2016年到2018年股息收益率下降，这表明苹果的股价上涨。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/991e5d3137bf5ac3c9bc4aaf26c01581\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"320\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018<blockquote>资料来源：雅虎财经，2016年1月1日至2018年12月31日苹果股价</blockquote> That is exactly what happened. At the peak of 2018 Apple’s dividend yield was 1.28%. At this time, Apple’s 5-year yield average was 1.86%. When 2018 ended Apple’s dividend yield was 1.97%. As you can now see, a company’s dividend yield can be a good proxy for value.<blockquote>这正是发生的事情。2018年峰值时，苹果的股息收益率为1.28%。此时，苹果5年期收益率平均值为1.86%。2018年底，苹果的股息收益率为1.97%。正如您现在所看到的，公司的股息收益率可以很好地代表价值。</blockquote> This Time Is not different<blockquote>这次也不例外</blockquote> I know some of you at this point are thinking, well, Dividend Yield Theory is nice and all but thanks to Covid this time is different. I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.<blockquote>我知道你们中的一些人现在在想，股息收益率理论很好，但多亏了新冠疫情，这次不同了。我不认为这一次对苹果来说有什么不同，原因是因为苹果在大流行之前就已经成熟了。</blockquote> It is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus. Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.<blockquote>诚然，苹果和许多其他科技公司都从疫情中受益，但苹果与Shopify、Zoom和Disney Plus有很大不同。也就是说，苹果已经在很大程度上渗透了其整个目标市场。在疫情之前，我们大多数人从未听说过Zoom。我们开始在家工作，需要一个远程通信的解决方案，bam Zoom利用了这一点。在疫情之前，iPhone仍然是值得击败的智能手机，拥有数千万用户的智能手机，是远至中国的必备身份象征。2012年我在中国留学了一个学期。那段时间，我的教授告诉我们，身份象征对中国人有多重要。所有年龄段的学生在父母给他们买iPhone之前都不会去上学，因为没有它他们会丢脸。许多人负担不起电话套餐，我和我的朋友目睹了许多人拥有iPhone只是为了炫耀。那是在2012年，比疫情大流行早了8年。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ae87be3f096ac0a13d2e38634b8c34c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"310\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*<blockquote>资料来源：苹果2021年第三季度*涵盖2021年4月至6月*</blockquote> As we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products.

In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.<blockquote>苹果2016年至2020年的5年平均股息率为1.46%，目前苹果的股息率为0.68%。苹果已支付股息近10年，平均收益率约为1.4%。为了让苹果提供这样的收益率，股价必须下跌至75美元至85美元的范围。现在是时候在苹果利润恢复到均值之前获利了结了。</blockquote> Why Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory<blockquote>为什么苹果被高估，股息收益率理论</blockquote> Dividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.<blockquote>股息收益率理论是由投资质量趋势创始人杰拉尔丁·韦斯通过一本名为《股息不要说谎》的书推广的。股息收益率理论的本质是，高质量的公司往往具有“正常”的收益率，随着市场爱上或不爱上该公司，股息收益率会波动以创造买卖机会。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a469d363e933b84759428285f957590\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking Alphadividend yield<blockquote>资料来源：寻求阿尔法股息收益率</blockquote> Here we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History.

Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.<blockquote>这里我们有苹果的股息收益率历史。查看平均收益率栏可以看到，苹果目前的平均收益率是自苹果首次开始支付股息以来的最低水平。这表明苹果是一个尖叫出售。另一方面，苹果平均收益率上一次高于2%是在2016年。当时，苹果是一个令人尖叫的买家。巧合的是，同年Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)开始购买苹果股票。</blockquote> The reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price.

Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom.

Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.<blockquote>诚然，苹果和许多其他科技公司都从疫情中受益，但苹果与Shopify、Zoom和Disney Plus有很大不同。也就是说，苹果已经在很大程度上渗透了其整个目标市场。在疫情之前，我们大多数人从未听说过Zoom。我们开始在家工作，需要一个远程通信的解决方案，bam Zoom利用了这一点。在疫情之前，iPhone仍然是值得击败的智能手机，拥有数千万用户的智能手机，是远至中国的必备身份象征。2012年我在中国留学了一个学期。那段时间，我的教授告诉我们，身份象征对中国人有多重要。所有年龄段的学生在父母给他们买iPhone之前都不会去上学，因为没有它他们会丢脸。许多人负担不起电话套餐，我和我的朋友目睹了许多人拥有iPhone只是为了炫耀。那是在2012年，比疫情大流行早了8年。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ae87be3f096ac0a13d2e38634b8c34c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"310\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*<blockquote>资料来源：苹果2021年第三季度*涵盖2021年4月至6月*</blockquote> As we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products.

Other companies in the IT sector like Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intuit (INTU) have a payout ratio of 51% and 25% respectively which shows Apple’s dividends will be much higher in the coming years.

In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.<blockquote>根据5年平均股息收益率和当前股息增长率，股息可能会增加至1.03-1.14美元。为了让苹果在预计的未来股息中维持其历史收益率，苹果股价必须在80美元左右。苹果有可能支付并将股息提高至1.89美元。苹果在2020年的股息上花费了140亿美元，将股息提高到1.89美元将使股价达到310亿美元。这将使他们的派息率提高到34%，这是现金牛公司的典型派息率。</blockquote> The expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.<blockquote>预期股息I项目基于股息占经营现金流的百分比。在过去的3年里，这一比例从15%到18%不等。我估计使用了1001.5亿美元的运营现金流，按19%计算，您将获得1.14美元的股息。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/153079186d84770e064411e34a42745e\" tg-width=\"304\" tg-height=\"74\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement<blockquote>资料来源：Seeking Alpha现金流量表</blockquote> Lastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple. If the current 2021 yield average of 0.63% becomes the new normal, Apple’s share price should rise to $163.49 - $180.95 based on my projected dividend increase.<blockquote>最后，低于1%的股息收益率有可能成为苹果的常态。如果目前2021年0.63%的平均收益率成为新常态，根据我预计的股息增长，苹果的股价应该会上涨至163.49美元至180.95美元。</blockquote> Conclusion<blockquote>结论</blockquote> Sell Apple, take your profits now. The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.<blockquote>卖出苹果，立即获利了结。超级周期将结束。稍后再来，等股息收益率较高时折价买入苹果。</blockquote>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n 来源：<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4443676-apple-take-your-profits-before-its-too-late\">seekingalpha</a>\n为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4443676-apple-take-your-profits-before-its-too-late","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1130492644","content_text":"Summary\n\nDividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy companies.\nApple’s current high growth is temporary.\nApple is on its way to becoming a dividend aristocrat.\n\nChristopher Jue/Getty Images Entertainment\nInvestment Thesis\nInvestors are treating Apple (AAPL) as if it has found a second growth spurt.

Apple is transitioning toward more service based revenues.

Other companies in the IT sector like Texas Instruments (TXN), and Intuit (INTU) have a payout ratio of 51% and 25% respectively which shows Apple’s dividends will be much higher in the coming years. With a projected EPS of $14 in 2031 a 51% payout would mean a dividend of $7/sh.<blockquote>苹果目前的股息支付率为15.86%。德州仪器(TXN)和Intuit(INTU)等IT行业的其他公司的派息率分别为51%和25%，这表明苹果未来几年的股息将高得多。预计2031年每股收益为14美元，51%的派息意味着每股7美元的股息。</blockquote> Risk and Opportunity, The Dividend increase<blockquote>风险与机遇，股息增加</blockquote> Based on the 5 year average dividend yield and the current rate of dividend increases, it is likely the dividend will be increased to $1.03-$1.14. In order for Apple to maintain its historic yield at the projected future dividend, Apple shares would have to trade around $80. it is possible that Apple pays up and raises their dividend to $1.89. Apple spent $14 billion on their dividend in 2020 and raising it to $1.89 will increase the price tag to $31 billion. This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.<blockquote>根据5年平均股息收益率和当前股息增长率，股息可能会增加至1.03-1.14美元。为了让苹果在预计的未来股息中维持其历史收益率，苹果股价必须在80美元左右。苹果有可能支付并将股息提高至1.89美元。苹果在2020年的股息上花费了140亿美元，将股息提高到1.89美元将使股价达到310亿美元。这将使他们的派息率提高到34%，这是现金牛公司的典型派息率。</blockquote> The expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up. Over the last 3 years, it has ranged from 15% to 18%. I used an estimated $100.15 billion for operating cash flows and at 19% you get the $1.14 dividend.<blockquote>预期股息I项目基于股息占经营现金流的百分比。在过去的3年里，这一比例从15%到18%不等。我估计使用了1001.5亿美元的运营现金流，按19%计算，您将获得1.14美元的股息。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/153079186d84770e064411e34a42745e\" tg-width=\"304\" tg-height=\"74\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Seeking AlphaCash Flow Statement<blockquote>资料来源：Seeking Alpha现金流量表</blockquote> Lastly it is possible that a dividend yield of less than 1% becomes the norm for Apple. If the current 2021 yield average of 0.63% becomes the new normal, Apple’s share price should rise to $163.49 - $180.95 based on my projected dividend increase.<blockquote>最后，低于1%的股息收益率有可能成为苹果的常态。如果目前2021年0.63%的平均收益率成为新常态，根据我预计的股息增长，苹果的股价应该会上涨至163.49美元至180.95美元。</blockquote> Conclusion<blockquote>结论</blockquote> Sell Apple, take your profits now. The super cycle will end. Come back later and buy Apple at a discount when the dividend yield is higher.<blockquote>卖出苹果，立即获利了结。超级周期将结束。稍后再来，等股息收益率较高时折价买入苹果。</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Apple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nApple: Take Your Profits Now, Come Back Later<blockquote>苹果：现在获利了结，稍后再回来</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nseekingalpha2021-08-02 09:29\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\nSummary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Dividend Yield Theory is a great indicator of overvalued and undervalued shares for healthy companies.</li> <li>Apple’s current high growth is temporary.</li> <li>Apple is on its way to becoming a dividend aristocrat.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8e45c69c559fb64f9cda12fb93f34c0d\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1097\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Christopher Jue/Getty Images Entertainment<blockquote><ul><li>股息收益率理论是健康公司股票高估和低估的重要指标。</li><li>苹果目前的高增长是暂时的。</li><li>苹果正在成为股息贵族。</li></ul>克里斯托弗·觉/盖蒂图片社娱乐公司</blockquote> Investment Thesis<blockquote>投资论文</blockquote> Investors are treating Apple (AAPL) as if it has found a second growth spurt. In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.<blockquote>投资者对待苹果（AAPL）就好像它已经找到了第二次增长。事实上，苹果现在是一头完全长大的摇钱树，而不是一头初露头角的小牛。疫情让许多公司比他们希望的更快地过渡到互联网。这对苹果来说是件好事，但由于它在大流行之前就已经是一家成熟的企业，因此它将恢复到大流行前的正常增长率。</blockquote> Apple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.<blockquote>苹果2016年至2020年的5年平均股息率为1.46%，目前苹果的股息率为0.68%。苹果已支付股息近10年，平均收益率约为1.4%。为了让苹果提供这样的收益率，股价必须下跌至75美元至85美元的范围。现在是时候在苹果利润恢复到均值之前获利了结了。</blockquote> Why Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory<blockquote>为什么苹果被高估，股息收益率理论</blockquote> Dividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie.

This would increase their payout ratio to 34% which is a typical payout ratio for cash cow companies.<blockquote>根据5年平均股息收益率和当前股息增长率，股息可能会增加至1.03-1.14美元。为了让苹果在预计的未来股息中维持其历史收益率，苹果股价必须在80美元左右。苹果有可能支付并将股息提高至1.89美元。苹果在2020年的股息上花费了140亿美元，将股息提高到1.89美元将使股价达到310亿美元。这将使他们的派息率提高到34%，这是现金牛公司的典型派息率。</blockquote> The expected dividend I project is based on the percentage of operating cash flow the dividend takes up.

In reality Apple is now a fully grown cash cow, not a young budding calf. The pandemic made many companies transition to the internet faster than they wanted to. That is good for Apple but because it was already a mature business prior to the pandemic it will revert to its normal pre-pandemic growth rates.\nApple’s 5 year average dividend yield from 2016 to 2020 is 1.46% currently the dividend yield on Apple is 0.68%. Apple has been paying a dividend for almost 10 years and the average is also pointing to a yield of ~1.4%. In order for Apple to offer such a yield, share prices would have to move down toward range of $75-$85. Now is the time to take your Apple profits before it reverts to the mean.\nWhy Apple Is Overvalued, Dividend Yield Theory\nDividend Yield Theory was popularized by Investment Quality Trends founder Geraldine Weiss through a book titled Dividends Don’t Lie. The essence of Dividend Yield Theory is that high quality companies tend to have a “normal” yield and as the market falls in love or out of love with the company the dividend yield fluctuates to create buy and sell opportunities.\nSource: Seeking Alphadividend yield\nHere we have Apple’s Dividend Yield History. Looking at the average yield column you can see that Apple’s current average yield is the lowest since Apple first started paying a dividend. This indicates Apple is a screaming sell. On the flip side, the last time Apple’s average yield was above 2% was in 2016. At that time Apple was a screaming buy. Coincidentally that was the same year Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) began buying Apple shares.\nThe reason this works is because the dividend yield is a product of the share price. Looking at the chart above you can see the dividend yield shrank from 2016 through 2018 which indicates the share price of Apple increased.\nSource: Yahoo Finance, Apple Share price from 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2018\nThat is exactly what happened. At the peak of 2018 Apple’s dividend yield was 1.28%. At this time, Apple’s 5-year yield average was 1.86%. When 2018 ended Apple’s dividend yield was 1.97%. As you can now see, a company’s dividend yield can be a good proxy for value.\nThis Time Is not different\nI know some of you at this point are thinking, well, Dividend Yield Theory is nice and all but thanks to Covid this time is different. I don’t believe this time is different for Apple and the reason is because of Apple’s maturity as a business prior to the pandemic.\nIt is true that Apple and many other tech companies are benefiting from the pandemic, but Apple has a significant difference from a Shopify, a Zoom, and a Disney Plus. Namely Apple had already largely penetrated its total addressable market. Prior to the pandemic, most of us had never heard of Zoom. We started working from home and needed a solution for remote communication, and bam Zoom capitalizes. Prior to the pandemic, the iPhone was still the smartphone to beat, the smartphone with tens of millions of users, the must-have status symbol in places as far away as China. I spent a semester abroad in China in 2012. During that time, my professors told us how important status symbols are to the Chinese. Students of all ages would not go to school until their parents had bought them an iPhone because without it they would lose “face”. Many could not afford the phone plans and I and my friends witnessed many people having an iPhone just for show. That was in 2012, 8 years before the pandemic.\nSource: Apple Q3 2021*covers Apr – Jun 2021*\nAs we can see, the majority of Apple’s revenue comes from products. Further down products are identified as the iPhone, Mac, iPad, Wearables, Home & Accessories.\n\nAgain the iPhone makes up the majority. The high growth rate in iPhone sales also backs up the theory that this round of growth is due to the Apple super cycle which seems to take place once every 3 years.\nSource: Seeking Alpha Financials, compiled by author\nThe pattern for the last 10 years has been 1 year of stellar growth followed by 2 years of much slower growth.
