Madison Sustainable Equity Fund made the following comment about Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) in its Q1 2023 investor letter:

“Our underweight to Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) was a headwind to performance during the first quarter. Apple performed well in the first quarter along with the other large cap technology stocks following a weak 2022. Despite recent supply constraints and macro-economic uncertainty, demand for Apple products remains solid. First quarter iPhone sales would have been flat if not for the supply chain issues.”
