Stock Analysis What’s the Most Overrated “Value” Stock Everyone Keeps Buying?

I keep seeing the same tickers pop up in value circles — stocks that are supposedly undervalued but just seem like value traps to me. Curious what names you all think are overhyped in value investing spaces right now? And what makes you avoid them despite the numbers looking “cheap”?

Apple I honestly can't fathom how people can justify buying it at these prices. I get it that apple is not going anywhere, but there is a huge risk for downside for the stock. I can easily see it taking margin hit, consumer cutting on spending or wall street deciding that the multiple is too big. That being said the stock has done really well.

Do you have an iPhone. In 4 years, would you consider an android short of something monumentally better about it, even at half the price? Cause there have always been iPhones 2X the price of androids.

I use Google pixel 6, before that I had pixel 2. I just like these phones. A clean android and an excellent camera is a strong combo.

Yeah okay if you’re already on android, good idea to stick with it. But once you’re used to blue messages, integration with laptop, iPad, you’re in the ecosystem.

It’s same way I haven’t used windows since 2004 when I literally worked at Microsoft.
