The argument
The case for and against
Every call has a case against it. Here are both sides, for each stock.
Apple AAPL
The case for
- Impressive revenue growth of over 14% for a company of its massive scale.

The case against
- A high Price-to-Earnings ratio of 38.9 suggests the stock is expensive.
- The stock is trading near its 52-week high, which could limit near-term upside.
Oracle ORCL
The case for
- Strong revenue growth of over 21% shows its shift to the cloud is gaining traction.
- Shares trade at a P/E ratio of 20.5, which looks reasonable given its growth and high profitability.
