Was Jim Cramer Right About Apple (AAPL)?

We just covered the Jim Cramer Stock Portfolio: Top 10 Stock Picks. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) ranks #7  (see the Jim Cramer’s top 5 stock picks in 2026 here).

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is one of the best tech stocks to buy, according to Jim Cramer. He’s consistently repeated his “own it, don’t trade it” mantra for the iPhone maker, even when the market was uncertain about Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)’s AI strategy. In January, Cramer criticized the market pessimism about the company once again, based on his conversations with Eddy Cue, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)’s senior vice president of Services. Apple ranks seventh in our Jim Cramer stock portfolio compilation.

“Services are incredibly strong, much stronger than people expect,” Cramer said. “All the people who thought that that was not the case are dead wrong. I think the numbers would come up. They can’t do that yet.”

YCG Investments said in its Q4 letter that it took profits from its Apple position. Read the reasons behind their decision here.
