Buffett Trims Position in AAPL ! The End of the Apple Car Dream

In the wake of Apple Inc.'s recent fiscal first-quarter results, a concerning narrative unfolds as the tech giant faces significant challenges.

Sales in China plummeted by 13%, amounting to $20.8 billion in the quarter ending December 30. This stark decline not only fell short of analysts' expectations, who had predicted $23.5 billion, but also marked Apple's weakest December quarter performance in the Asian nation since the beginning of 2020.

The downward trajectory doesn't seem to stop there. In a notable move, Goldman Sachs has removed Apple stock from its 'U.S. Conviction List,' casting doubt on the company's short-term prospects. This decision by one of the world's leading investment banks signals a loss of confidence in Apple's ability to outperform in the market.

Adding to the turbulence is the breaking news that Apple is winding down its ambitious electric car plans, ending a decade-long venture. According to reports from Bloomberg, the company is set to cut some employees associated with the Apple car project, with many expected to transition to focus on artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives. This strategic shift raises questions about Apple's ability to stay competitive in the rapidly evolving tech landscape, especially given the intensifying competition in the AI sector.

Adding to the mounting concerns surrounding Apple Inc. (AAPL), Berkshire Hathaway, led by legendary investor Warren Buffett, made a notable move in its latest 13F filing. Dated February 14 and covering the period ending December 31, 2023, the report reveals a strategic decision by Berkshire Hathaway to sell approximately 10 million shares of Apple.

My Price Target for AAPL is $168 by mid 2024.
