Fundamental quality
86
out of 100
Apple Inc. fits the profile of a quality compounder: it pairs high return on capital (ROE 119.9%) with wide margins (net margin 27.6%) and a business that keeps growing (9.7% a year). On fundamental quality it scores 86 out of 100, profiling it as a company with solid fundamentals. Its weakest area is its growth (revenue +9.7%/yr). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.
Apple designs and sells premium consumer hardware —iPhone, Mac, iPad, Watch— alongside an ecosystem of services (App Store, iCloud, Apple Pay). The iPhone remains the heart of its business.
