Here’s what could be next for Apple after it rolled out new products and changed its CEO.
Dow Jones futures: Despite Friday's bounce, the stock market had a tough week amid $100 oil prices and surging Treasury yields. Apple, Moderna are buys.
Apple (AAPL) closed the most recent trading day at $332.48, moving +1.81% from the previous trading session.
An $800,000 split between two Nasdaq-100 income ETFs generates a stunning monthly payout, but the tax bill tells a completely different story than the distribution notices suggest.
JEPI has been the default option-income ETF for years, but a smaller Fidelity rival quietly generated a sharply different outcome for shareholders in 2026 while producing nearly identical cash income, and the gap comes down to one structural choice.
The technology is impressive. The target customer is much less obvious.
Most SCHD holders track the quarterly payout and call it a win, but a decade of reinvested dividends tells a story the fund's marketing materials never mention. The yield looks safe until you compare the account balance.
Major stock indexes broke a four-day losing streak Friday, despite a hot inflation report that wrapped up the holiday-shortened week. Apple stock finished a winning week by rising within a base. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended up 1%, or 509 points, and the S&P 500 closed up by 0.9%.
Dell Technologies (DELL) stock more than quadrupled over the past year, a 323% gain, against about 18% for the S&P 500, and even Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), up 130.6%, finished far behind. Management had described most of the drivers before the run began: customers sitting on old servers, AI orders that had outrun shipments earlier in the year, and costs falling while sales rose. Those signs could not tell you how far the stock would go.
Alphabet (GOOGL) stock trades at about $332, and options expiring roughly a year out price a 68% probability range running from roughly $233 to roughly $474. That floor sits just under the stock's 52-week low of $235.96, while the ceiling clears its 52-week high of $402.12. Yet, a range this wide is close to normal for these shares, not a sign of unusual fear.
Valuations, earnings expectations, market concentration, equity issuance, and foreign buying are all flashing warning signs for the AI-fueled stock rally.
Hazel has been quietly slipping money to her teenagers for years, convinced she was solving a budgeting problem. Dave Ramsey heard one minute of her story and told her she had the diagnosis completely wrong.
Skyworks Solutions stock surges Friday and builds on a strong move from the previous session as CEO Philip Brace set the timeline for the completion of a key merger.
Apple (AAPL) is selling iPhones and Macs faster than it can build them, but the number a holder should fear most is the gross margin underneath those sales. Leaving out tariff refunds, that margin fell in the June quarter and is guided lower again for the September quarter. Management puts both steps down to rising memory prices, while the stock's price-to-earnings multiple sits near the top of its 10-year range.
Value ETFs are outperforming growth funds, but many hold surprising exposure to the AI boom.
Qualcomm (QCOM) grew revenue just 1.9% over the last twelve months, against a compound pace of about 6.2% a year over five years and 4.5% over three. The quarterly path is worse. Across the last four quarters, year-over-year growth slid from 10.0% to 5.0%, then to declines of 3.5% and 4.0%. That turn to shrinking quarterly sales is the risk to weigh.
