Back in 2008, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) bought a small microprocessor designer called P.A. Semi for $278 million. Over the years, Apple has continued to build on its chip efforts through both acquisitions and extensive organic expansion efforts.
Today, there should be no doubt that Apple's chip-development organization is extremely capable. It develops the applications processors that enable many of the capabilities of multibillion-dollar product lines such as the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.

The company's chip efforts have also expanded beyond applications processor design -- which, in itself, requires proficiency in a wide array of areas -- to include things like wireless chips, as well as (more recently) power-management chips.

Their consensus target stock price is $233.49, 10.2% above current levels. That’s a nice return to aspire to and there’s safety even if it doesn’t quite reach those levels.
