Apple is uniquely positioned as both a leader in AI and a defensive investment due to its low capital expenditure (CapEx) strategy and strong free cash flow. The company's Q3 results showed record revenues and strong demand, with supply constraints—not weak demand—causing a slowdown in guidance and temporary pressure on gross margins. Unlike other AI-focused tech giants burdened by heavy infrastructure costs, Apple’s high research and development spending combined with low CapEx and significant shareholder returns set it apart. The analyst reiterates a BUY rating, highlighting Apple as the only megacap stock without AI-related CapEx risks and with strong potential for AI monetization.
