Number of Hedge Funds Investors: 156

Jason Snipe, Founder and CIO of Odyssey Capital Advisors, explained in a recent program on CNBC why he’s selling Apple shares. Here is what he said:

“Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) been the eye of the storm with the kind of tariffs discussion all year. You know, but the stock has jumped since August, up about 20%. I think they’re in some ways, and we talk about this a lot, a victim of their own success. You know, replacement cycles are approaching five years. They had a really strong quarter this past quarter, but for me, I think the real run is going to be next year and demand’s been good for the iPhone 17. ASPs are going up, iPhone Air and the Pro have obviously gone up $100. So, I think that’ll be accretive for the stock. But as I look forward, I think the real opportunity is when they really start to focus on Siri, which I think they will start to solve soon, and Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) Intelligence going forward. And I think that iPhone 18 next season will be the one.”

Mar Vista U.S. Quality Strategy stated the following regarding Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) in its third quarter 2025 investor letter:

“Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) shares rebounded in Q3 2025 as investor concerns over both tariffs and the early adoption of its generative AI product, Apple Intelligence, eased. Attention shifted instead to the favorable resolution of Alphabet’s DOJ trial, seen as a positive for both Apple and Alphabet, and to healthy initial demand for the fall launch of the iPhone 17.

We continue to view Apple as a competitively advantaged business, anchored by the strength of its ecosystem. With over 2 billion active devices and more than 1 billion paying subscribers, Apple benefits from a loyal customer base and a growing stream of high-margin, recurring services revenue. This stable cash flow enables continued investment in innovation, even during periods of cyclical softness. We believe Apple remains well positioned to lead in the emerging category of AI-enabled edge devices.”
