New Max launched on Tuesday and at least one financial analyst thinks they are worth writing

to investors about. Just over a week ago Apple announced updates for

the Macbook Pro line as well as a new Mac Mini. The updates included and were

practically limited to the Headless Mac getting an M2 or an M2 Pro processor

while the laptops got fitted with either an M2 Pro or an M2 Max. New Max don't always move the needle for financial analysts, though these two did,

Forever Corps' Ahmed Darianami.

Apple 3.0 ran part of a note he wrote.

The post starts by pointing out the great run the Mac has had over the last several years,

growing at a 9% compound annual growth rate since 2017, including 23 percent growth in

fiscal year 21 and 14 percent growth in fiscal year 22.

Mac performance in the September quarter was particularly notable with revenue up 25%

at a time when most other PC makers are reporting steep declines.

So yeah, good up to now and the better processors have kept

making it better. Their Anani and crew think the significant

outperformance of the M-series chips versus competitors has

likely been a key driver of this success. Still, this year is what it is.

Bullish though he may be on Apple.
