Activist investor Carl Icahn has spoken with Apple Inc. Chief Executive Tim Cook again to discuss a potential stock buyback, cable television network CNBC reported on Monday.

Icahn, who has demanded a $150 billion buyback publicly and privately to Apple's Cook since August, had a good conversation with Cook and they both continue to believe the company is undervalued, CNBC reported.

Icahn owns roughly 4.7 million shares in the technology giant; he revealed on August 13 that his investment firm had a "large position" in Apple. He has said that Apple shares could trade at $700 with a larger stock buyback.
