Joseph DiMenna’s latest move on Apple was to backtrack, reigning in 38% of his hedge fund’s holding in the stock to 87,268 shares worth $10,107k.
But TipRanks analytics demonstrate AAPL as a strong Buy. Based on 31 analysts polled by TipRanks in the last 3 months, 25 rates a Buy on Apple stock, 6 maintain a Hold, while no one is issuing a Sell.
