Apple's AI Push: Is the Stock Price Already Too High?

Apple's five-year run has been impressive, returning 111.7% to investors.

However, the current valuation picture is more complex, with a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) intrinsic value estimate suggesting Apple trades at a premium.

The DCF model values Apple by projecting future free cash flows and discounting them back to today. For Apple, the latest twelve-month free cash flow sits at about $135.2 billion, and the model assumes those cash flows continue to grow from this base.

On these assumptions, the DCF model arrives at an intrinsic value of approximately $244 per share, which is below the current market price.
