Intel Corporation (INTC), Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO), Apple Inc. (AAPL): Will These 3 Technology Stocks Serve Our Portfolio Well?

I believe Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is, in fact, the best buy of the three stocks listed in this article. First and foremost, the company, according to its most recent earnings report, has an incredible net cash position at approximately $135 billion.

At its current valuation, that means the company is essentially one-third cash with no debt! Secondly, the company is trading at a relatively very cheap 10 times trailing and 8.5 times forward P/E, along with just a 0.5x price to expected growth rate. Thirdly, the company still has an amazing 25%+ profit margin, and returns on equity exceeding 38%. Lastly, the company has a consistently growing 2.5% dividend yield.

The Foolish conclusion:

As intelligent “Fools”, we are always on the hunt for companies that offer great value. I believe these three companies listed above do offer that while also paying us a nice dividend as the companies continue to thrive.
