Investment Thesis

Conviction: High

Apple continues to demonstrate robust pricing power despite inflationary pressures. Services revenue is a key growth driver, outpacing hardware sales. Apple Inc. is positioned to benefit from secular tailwinds in the Technology industry.

Risks: Regulatory scrutiny in the EU and US regarding the App Store ecosystem remains a primary overhang. Supply chain concentration in Asia poses geopolitical risks.
