Hedgeye initiated a short call on Apple Inc. (AAPL) on July 10, 2026. The firm forecasts a potential 23% decline in the stock's value. Market prices currently reflect optimistic growth expectations and high valuations.
Analyst Felix Wang noted that Apple’s forward earnings multiple is approximately 34x. Wall Street recently revised estimates for upcoming fiscal years materially higher. These revisions leave little room for Apple to exceed market expectations.
Competitive pressure from Huawei in China creates a material risk to regional growth. The short call provides a counter-narrative as Apple shares trade near record highs.
