Apple (AAPL, Financial), creator of the iPhone, iPad and Mac, makes a return to the Research Fund (previously eliminated in the third quarter of 2014). Investors, in our view, have become too pessimistic about Apple’s ability to grow sales of the iPhone and to globally monetize its large installed base of iOS devices. In addition to its growth prospects, Apple continues to return significant amounts of cash to shareowners.
From Weitz Funds' Research Fund commentary 1st quarter.
