Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) sells computers of all different shapes and sizes, from high-performance desktops all the way down to the Apple Watch, a computer that fits on our wrists.
Every computer that Apple sells includes two key components: Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), which can be thought of as the workspace for a computer processor, and storage, which is where all programs and data are kept. Virtually all of Apple's computers use a type of memory known as NAND flash for storage.

Since DRAM and NAND are such important parts of Apple's computers, and since the amount of DRAM and NAND that the company offers in its key products tends to increase over time, the profitability of Apple's products depends substantially on market pricing for these components. When they're cheaper, Apple can either enjoy higher profitability or pass its savings onto the consumer (which could lead to higher unit demand). When they're pricier, either Apple's gross profit margin suffers, or it has to price products high enough to protect profitability at the expense of potential unit demand.

And for a long time, Berkshire had a sizable position in IBM (IBM) . However, that position had been mostly liquidated by the end of 2017, as Buffett & Co. lost faith in Big Blue's turnaround efforts. Given the extent to which parts of IBM's business were vulnerable to technological disruption, this was perhaps a case of Berkshire extending outside of its comfort zone.

Top 5 Cheap Stocks To Invest In 2019: Kohl's Corporation(KSS)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By Jeremy Bowman]
The relationship between the P/E ratio and the dividend yield is important to understand here. The lower a company's valuation is, the more valuable the dividend becomes as the dividend yield increases. For instance, with a P/E ratio of about 12, Kohl's (NYSE: KSS) could be considered a value stock, and its dividend yields a respectable 3.9%. Its payout ratio -- the percentage of earnings that go to its dividend or dividend per share divided by earnings per share -- is also modest at 48%. Eighty percent is considered the maximum that dividend stocks should aim for in order to leave adequate cash flow for other needs.
