Aristotle Large Cap Growth Strategy made the following comment about Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) in its Q3 2023 investor letter:

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) contributed to outperformance in the third quarter, as a result of the underweight position relative to the benchmark. Following a very strong first-half performance, the stock saw a pullback ahead of the iPhone 15 launch, as investors weigh the potential growth from the new phone in the face of macroeconomic headwinds and slowing consumer spend.”
