As Apple becomes a world-leading technology company, it is no doubt that its stock has brought a huge amount of profit to its investors. Many investors rely on financial modules to estimate the change in stock values and make the final decision. They contribute significantly to the decision-making of investors. This paper intends to use the composition of the models to evaluate the monthly stock price of AAPL in the past five years with the composition of the models and compare it with the real open stock price. It turns out that the real value was overvalued in the first four years yet undervalued in the fifth year.
AAPL, intrinsic value, capital and asset pricing model, stock price, financial modules, dividend discount module
