Apple's recent quarter showed strong iPhone revenue growth and a $100B buyback, but rising memory chip costs pose risks to its hardware-heavy business. Despite a 48% gain over the past year, insiders are selling shares, and the stock trades at a high valuation with limited free cash flow yield. Meanwhile, Alphabet presents a compelling alternative with faster revenue growth, stronger profitability, and less exposure to hardware inflation, trading at a much lower price-to-earnings ratio. Investors may want to consider Alphabet alongside Apple as the memory chip cost cycle impacts the market.
