Lastly is Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), which was being bullishly eyeballed by Barron’s and Credit Suisse towards the end of 2016. Barron’s believes the market is undervaluing Apple’s ecosystem, while Barclays also thinks its “sticky” ecosystem provides a lot of downside protection. However, Barclays downgraded Apple to ‘Equal Weight’ this week despite that, as it doesn’t see much room for positive earnings surprises against current estimates for the year. It also doesn’t expect that the iPhone 8 cycle will result in a growth rebound for Apple. While Barclays does see some interesting future possibilities for Apple in areas like A.I, those are not expected to materially impact the company in the near-term. Apple was one of the most popular stocks among hedge funds in Q3, as the number of funds long the stock rose to 145 on September 30 from just 116 three months earlier.
