Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) continues to trade at elevated valuation levels despite Warren Buffett&#8216;s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. significantly reducing its stake in the iPhone maker, according to a prominent market analyst.
What Happened: Lawrence McDonald, founder of Bear Traps Report, highlighted concerns about Apple&#8217;s current price-to-sales ratio in a post on X on Sunday. 
&#8220;Think about your 401k and Apple, its (S&amp;P 500) Top holding — From 2005 to 2020, Apple traded between a 2 and 5 handle price to sales. On Christmas Eve, she peaked at 10.2x sales and now sits—After Buffett dumped nearly 70% of his shares—at 8.2x,&#8221; McDonald wrote.
The price-to-sales ratio measures a company&#8217;s market cap relative to revenue, showing how much investors pay per dollar of sales. Apple&#8217;s current 8.2x P/S far exceeds its historical 2-5x range, a premium it began surpassing after June 2020, according <a href="https://companiesmarketcap.com/inr/apple/ps-ratio/">to</a> CompaniesMarketCap
McDonald warned that the growing influence of passive index funds is damaging the market&#8217;s ability to price stocks efficiently, with Apple being a prime example.

Why It Matters: The comments come after Buffett&#8217;s dramatic reduction in Berkshire&#8217;s Apple holdings over the past year. Berkshire held 905.6 million Apple shares valued at approximately $174 billion at the start of 2024 but sold 116.2 million shares in the first quarter and an additional 389.7 million in the second quarter. 
By the end of the third quarter, Buffett had further reduced the position to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41428505/warren-buffett-may-have-missed-out-on-23m-worth-of-profits-after-selling-apple-stocks-report">around 300 million shares</a>.
The valuation concerns and China sales troubles have impacted Apple&#8217;s stock performance. While AAPL gained 14.8% over the past year, it significantly underperformed the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s 25.6% rise <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43198776/will-warren-buffett-sell-more-apple-stock-after-iphone-sales-drop-in-china">during the same period</a>. 
A recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43198776/will-warren-buffett-sell-more-apple-stock-after-iphone-sales-drop-in-china">investor poll by Benzinga</a> showed opinion nearly evenly split on Buffett&#8217;s next move, with 56% believing he will maintain his remaining Apple position for the long term, while 44% expect further reductions soon.

What Happened: iRobot, the company behind the iconic Roomba vacuum, is facing mounting pressure from Chinese tech manufacturers such as Roborock, Ecovacs, Xiaomi Corporation (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACY#OTC">XIACY</a>), and Dreame Technology, <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/China-tech/Chinese-robot-vacuums-leave-Roomba-in-the-dust-with-arms-and-legs">reported</a> Nikkei Asia.

The company revealed significant uncertainty about its ability to sustain operations for at least 12 months following the release of its consolidated 2024 financial statements.
Due to these circumstances, it has canceled the fourth-quarter earnings call that was set for March 12, 2025, and is refraining from issuing a financial outlook for 2025 at this time.

Harrow Gears Up For Q4 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

North Korea, helped by the infamous hacking syndicate Lazarus Group, has quietly become one of the biggest holders of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
What Happened: The attacker possessed around 13,518 BTCs as of this writing, worth $1.16 billion, <a href="https://intel.arkm.com/explorer/entity/lazarus-group">according </a>to on-chain analytics platform Arkham. The stash was worth more than twice the amount held by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44133314/el-salvadors-president-bukele-remains-defiant-amid-imfs-concerns-on-bitcoin-accumulation-it-wont-stop-now-and-it-wont-stop-in-the-future">El Salvador</a>, the widely known Bitcoin-friendly nation.
Lazarus Group&#8217;s BTC stockpile has soared dramatically since its massive $1.4 billion Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43901287/north-koreas-lazarus-group-suspected-in-1-4-billion-bybit-crypto-hack">hack </a>on the cryptocurrency exchange&nbsp;Bybit. 
Before Feb. 22, the syndicate owned 778 BTCs, which surged to approximately 14,000 by Mar. 4, suggesting that it laundered stolen funds into Bitcoin.

Why It Matters: The Lazarus Group, a collective of&nbsp;North Korean state-sponsored crypto hackers,&nbsp;is considered one&nbsp;of the most sophisticated on-chain&nbsp;operators globally.
U.S.-based agencies, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40725296/kim-jong-uns-north-korea-backed-hackers-may-target-bitcoin-and-ethereum-etfs-fbi-issues-wa">raised alarms</a> about the infiltration tactics employed by North Korean hackers to steal blue-chip cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The U.S. government&nbsp;has also <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sm774" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">claimed</a>&nbsp;that the illegal proceeds from the thefts are used to fund North Korea&#8217;s weapons and missile program.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $83,644.48, down 0.75% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Kim Jong Un's North Korea-Backed Lazarus Group Now Has More Bitcoin Than El Salvador

As the AI race intensifies, Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) has positioned itself as a serious contender by launching two new models it says rival top competitors.
What Happened: On Sunday, Baidu unveiled ERNIE X1 and ERNIE 4.5, the latest iterations of its artificial intelligence models designed to compete in a landscape dominated by players like OpenAI and DeepSeek, reported Reuters.
"ERNIE X1 delivers performance on <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44201104/usa-targets-deepseek-weighs-restrictions-on-chinas-ai-firm-that-shook-nvidias-market-value-by-600-billion">par with DeepSeek R1</a> at only half the price," Baidu said in a statement, describing it as a "reasoning-focused" model with superior capabilities in understanding, planning, reflection, and evolution.
The company also said that it's the first "deep thinking" model to use tools autonomously.

ERNIE 4.5 reportedly features "excellent multimodal understanding ability," meaning it can process and generate across text, image, audio, and video formats.
Baidu said its language, memory, logic, and content-generation skills are all "comprehensively improved."
The company also touted its model's emotional intelligence: "It has high EQ. It can understand memes and satirical cartoons," Baidu added.

Why It&#8217;s Important: The new models come at a time when <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44254562/deepseek-stays-free-founder-rejects-monetization-plans-new-reasoning-model-amid-alibaba-talks">DeepSeek has disrupted</a> the global AI race by releasing high-performance models at significantly lower costs than U.S. rivals.
Although Baidu was one of China's first tech giants to launch a ChatGPT-style chatbot, widespread adoption has been elusive, the report noted.
Last month, Baidu&#8217;s market value <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43765049/baidus-market-value-plummets-by-24-billion-following-ceos-absence-from-crucial-meeting-led-by-chinese-president-xi">dropped by $2.4 billion</a> following the absence of its founder, Robin Li, from a significant meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Baidu&#8217;s Q4 earnings report revealed a <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43778265/baidu-q4-earnings-ai-cloud-grows-margin-slides-expects-ai-investments-to-bear-fruit-in-2025">2% decline in revenue</a> year-on-year, although it surpassed analyst expectations.
