Unstoppable Apple
Apple Inc. (AAPL) has been dominating the tech industry for decades.
The stock is up 34% this year. And it shows no sign of slowing down.
Innovative products, groundbreaking technology, and unwavering customer loyalty has cemented its position as a tech giant with a solid competitive moat.
Just as a moat protected a medieval castle from invading forces, a competitive moat protects a company’s business from the threats of new entrants, existing rivals, and substitutes.
There are several types of competitive moats that a company can have, including:
| | • | | Brand: A strong brand name and reputation can help a company to differentiate its products or services from those of its competitors. This can help to increase customer loyalty and reduce the impact of price competition.
| | | • | | Economies of Scale: A company that can produce goods or services at a lower cost due to its scale of operations can create a barrier to entry for new competitors. The larger the scale of operations, the greater the efficiency, and the lower the cost per unit, making it difficult for new entrants to compete on price.
| | | • | | Intellectual Property: A company that holds patents, trademarks, copyrights, or trade secrets can protect its innovations and ideas from being copied by competitors. This can create a significant barrier to entry, as competitors will need to develop their own technology or pay for licenses to use the intellectual property.
| | | • | | Network Effects: A company that benefits from network effects, such as social media platforms or online marketplaces, can create a competitive moat by making it difficult for users to switch to competing platforms. As more users join the platform, the more valuable it becomes, making it difficult for new entrants to compete.
| | | • | | Regulatory Barriers: Companies operating in heavily regulated industries, such as healthcare or finance, may face significant barriers to entry due to regulatory compliance requirements. These barriers can include obtaining licenses, certifications, or complying with complex regulations, making it difficult for new entrants to enter the market. |
Apple can check the box on at least the first four of these. And after defeating monopoly claims by Epic in court recently, it eliminated the competition’s ability to establish their own regulatory moats.
Apple stays constantly ahead of the curve. With each new product release, Apple sets a new standard for the tech industry, and investors are eager to get in on the action.
Plus, its consistently strong revenue, profit margins, and cash reserves leaves little doubt that Apple will be around for the very long term.
Simply owning Apple has proven to be a winning strategy. Over the last decade, the stock has returned 29.86% on average, each year, for buy and hold investors.
But you can do more than just own it. You can boost your profits by trading around it.
