Better Buy: Apple vs. Roku
In the past three years, shares of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU) are up 170% and 800%, respectively. In both cases, those gains crush the 63% total return of the S&P 500, though Roku was clearly the better buy in May 2018.
Unfortunately, we can't go back in time -- at least I can't. And a lot can change in three years. So let's take a closer look at these tech stocks today, so we can decide if Roku is still the better investment.
Since releasing the first iPhone in 2007, Apple has masterminded the creation of an incredibly profitable ecosystem. Unlike Android, the iOS operating system is closed-source; that means no original equipment manufacturers can bundle iOS with cheaper hardware to create an "Apple-ish" product.
