Down but Not Out: Why Apple's Still the Best Buy in All of Tech

By Andrew Tonner, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

Apple stock has taken a drubbing over the past year. In this video, Andrew Tonner offers three reasons he thinks Apple is still a great buy:

  • It trades at ridiculously low valuations, particularly given its cash reserves.
  • It will probably launch a low-cost iPhone to finally penetrate emerging markets, which has been a weak spot for the company. 
  • It’s likely to roll out either its iWatch or its iTV next year, in a move that should help boost revenue and profit growth.

Andrew argues that positioning yourself in this company at today’s low valuations could pay off this time next year.

There’s no doubt that Apple is at the center of technology’s largest revolution ever and that longtime shareholders have been handsomely rewarded, with more than 1,000% gains. However, there is a debate raging as to whether Apple remains a buy. The Motley Fool’s senior technology analyst and managing bureau chief, Eric Bleeker, is prepared to fill you in on both reasons to buy and reasons to sell Apple and what opportunities are left for the company (and your portfolio) going forward.

3 Reasons to Buy Nokia

By Andrew Tonner, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

In this video, Andrew Tonner shares his three reasons to buy Nokia

  • Well-designed, highly functional handsets that may draw customers looking for a functional but easy-to-use smartphone.
  • A massive restructuring effort to control costs and improve product launch cycles.
  • Upside potential for the stock.

Nokia’s been struggling in a world of Apple and Android smartphone dominance. However, the company has banked its future on its next generation of Windows smartphones.

Is Windows 8 Microsoft's Biggest Failure Ever?

By Andrew Tonner, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

Is Microsoft a good tech investment? In this video, Andrew Tonner gives a few reasons he’d steer clear:

  • The PC market is shrinking, and Microsoft hasn’t adapted well to mobile technology.
  • Windows 8 is a dud.
  • The company had to write off $6 billion for an acquisition that went bad, the latest in a string of failed acquisitions.

Although Microsoft pays a nice dividend for a tech company, Andrew argues that it hasn’t returned much else to investors for the past 10 years, and it doesn’t appear poised to adapt to a changing future. 

Check out the video for more details.

It’s been a frustrating path for Microsoft investors, who’ve watched the company fail to capitalize on the incredible growth in mobile over the past decade. However, with the release of its own tablet, along with the widely anticipated Windows 8 operating system, the company is looking to make a splash in this booming market. In this brand-new premium report on Microsoft, our analyst explains that while the opportunity is huge, the challenges are many. He’s also providing regular updates as key events occur, so make sure to claim a copy of this report now by clicking here.

Should Google Pay a Dividend?

By Andrew Tonner, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

Google is currently sitting on $50 billion in cash. Should the company pay a dividend? In this video, Andrew Tonner looks at why he thinks it won’t happen. For starters, even though Google can fund much of its research activities with its current cash flow, that $50 billion reserve is a nice backstop. Furthermore, paying a dividend may cause investors to perceive Google less as a cutting-edge growth company and more as a mature tech company. With projections of 20% annual growth for the next several years, that’s not a perception Google wants to promote.

In time, Google may grow its bank account to the point where investors insist on a dividend, but Andrew says that time is far in the future.

As one of the most dominant Internet companies ever, Google has made a habit of driving strong returns for its shareholders. However, like many other Web companies, it’s also struggling to adapt to an increasingly mobile world. Despite gaining an enviable lead with its Android operating system, the market isn’t sold. That’s why it’s more important than ever to understand each piece of Google’s sprawling empire. In The Motley Fool’s new premium research report on Google, we break down the risks and potential rewards for Google investors. Simply click here now to unlock your copy of this invaluable resource.

3 Reasons Apple's Still a Buy Today

By Andrew Tonner, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

Despite Apple‘s stock decline, Andrew Tonner thinks there’s still a lot to love about the company. In this video, Andrew points out three specific things he thinks will drive Apple higher in the future.

  • The dividend yield is currently 2.5% and will probably grow, given Apple’s cash hoard of $137 billion.
  • Apple will roll out its iPhone 5S and probably a low-cost iPhone to help penetrate emerging markets.
  • It could also release a new product such as the iTV or iWatch this year or in 2014, either of which would stand to deliver substantial earnings.

Apple may be taking its lumps today, but Andrew thinks things could turn around nicely by this time next year. Check out the video for more details.

 

There’s no doubt that Apple is at the center of technology’s largest revolution ever and that longtime shareholders have been handsomely rewarded, with more than 1,000% gains. However, there is a debate raging as to whether Apple remains a buy. The Motley Fool’s senior technology analyst and managing bureau chief, Eric Bleeker, is prepared to fill you in on both reasons to buy and reasons to sell Apple and what opportunities are left for the company (and your portfolio) going forward.

137 Billion Reasons Investors Should Love Apple

By Andrew Tonner, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

Many tech investors have written off Apple‘s growth prospects. In this video, Andrew Tonner gives one reason investors shouldn’t bail out on Apple just yet: Specifically, Apple has $137 billion in cash that it could return to shareholders, either through a dividend increase or the issuance of preferred stock. For more details on how Apple could make it happen, and what challenges it could face, check out the video.

Look Out, Apple: Here Comes BlackBerry

By Andrew Tonner, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

BlackBerry has rolled out its Z10 smartphone with the new BB10 operating system. In this video, Andrew Tonner reviews this product launch and the future launch of the Q10 smartphone. The Z10 has a touchscreen that may not appeal to BlackBerry loyalists, so the future launch of the Q10 with a keyboard may be a more critical launch, since it should appeal to these customers. The Q10 will reportedly sell for around $200 with a three-year contract.

Andrew says this series of product launches may help BlackBerry in the short run, but many analysts are bearish on the company’s long-term prospects. Check out the video for more details.

Apple's Overlooked Secret Weapon: Its Brand

By Andrew Tonner, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

Many analysts look at Apple‘s products, market share, and earnings to determine whether to invest. In this video, Andrew Tonner discusses one aspect of Apple that many people miss and that doesn’t show up in conventional metrics: the strength of its brand.

Apple is still considered to be a cool, cutting-edge company, Andrew says. Interbrand considers Apple to be the second most valuable brand in the world, behind Coca-Cola, and that brand strength results in customer loyalty and recurring sales. For example, between 80% and 90% of iPhone users keep buying iPhones.

Can Cloud Computing Save Hewlett-Packard?

By Andrew Tonner, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

Hewlett-Packard stock has suffered greatly over the past five years. But in this video, Andrew Tonner reviews some good news about the company, including its new line of energy- and space-saving servers that should help turn the company around. As mobile computing increases demand for servers, Andrew says this new product line should pay off for HP as it diversifies away from its dependence on the declining PC market.

Check out the video for more details.

The massive wave of mobile computing has done much to unseat the major players in the PC market, including venerable technology names like Hewlett-Packard. However, HP‘s rapidly shifting its strategy under the new leadership of CEO Meg Whitman. But does this make HP one of the least-appreciated turnaround stories on the market, or is this a minor blip on its road to irrelevance?

What Are the Risks for Nuance Communications Investors?

Filed under:

  • Competition from big players, including Google and Microsoft.

What Must Investors Watch With Nuance Communications?

By Andrew Tonner, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

Nuance Communications  is a classic growth company. In this video, tech and telecom analyst Andrew Tonner outlines issues investors need to watch, particularly since the company trades at 38 times earnings. First, the expansion of voice recognition technology into consumer electronics. Will this be well received? Given Siri‘s reception, consumers may not be quite ready to talk to their devices. Second, will original equipment manufacturers continue rolling out voice recognition tech in their devices, especially if consumers are less than thrilled about talking to their devices? Will the automotive industry in particular continue integrating this tech into their products? And what role will voice recognition technology play in smart TVs? Finally, the health care industry is a major customer for Nuance. Will cost pressures continue to push adaptation of voice recognition tech in hospitals and other health care facilities?

The Opportunity for Nokia Investors

By Andrew Tonner, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

In this video, tech and telecom analyst Andrew Tonner outlines the investing thesis behind Nokia . The biggest attraction is the launch of the high-end Lumia smartphone with its Windows OS. This is Nokia’s attempt to enter a market dominated by Google and Apple. Another plus for the company is its restructuring efforts that should drive down costs and improve product cycling time. Nokia also makes a low-end smartphone that has enjoyed some success in emerging markets. Lastly, Nokia is a provider of GPS mapping technology that is used in all Windows smartphones and in many automobiles. This GPS licensing revenue should help the company stay afloat as it works to reassert itself in the mobile telephone market.

Nokia’s been struggling in a world of Apple and Android smartphone dominance. However, the company has banked its future on its next generation of Windows smartphones. Motley Fool analyst Charly Travers has created a new premium report that digs into both the opportunities and risks facing Nokia to help investors decide if the company is a buy or sell.
