Feature Story
Technical / Fundamental Analysis
Apple is company that unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably own or have tried one of their products in your lifetime. AAPL is one of the “Magnificent Seven” in the stock market but unfortunately has not been doing as well as most of them. Actually Apple is the doing worse than 5 of the Mag 7.
AAPL has been trending downward and sideways with seeing little gain so far year to date. They just had their earnings released on July 25th and even though they beat on revenue and EPS, the market didn’t seem to like their guidance with a lot of uncertainty surrounding tariffs. But hopefully that changed today.
This evening (8/6/25) President Trump met with Tim Cook at the Oval Office where Tim Cook announced that Apple was committing another $100B to investing in building in the United States. This had the stock jump over 5% on the news. President Trump went on to say that companies who are committing or currently building in the United States would be exempt from Tariff’s but if he found out they were lying, they would owe back pay on their goods.
Now lets take a look at what the chart looks like. Below is a daily chart showing up to the beginning of 2024. You can see the growth leading to 2025 and then the pursuing dip that came with “Liberation day”. At the close of market today, the stock closed at $213.25. AAPL closed right below that resistance area, and actually tested it today but got rejected. This is at about $215.50.
Now take a look at this next chart below. I added a line where AAPL should open tomorrow. At the time of writing this article in the aftermarket, AAPL is currently sitting at $219.26. This is past that resistance line. If AAPL can hold these gains, this may be the news AAPL holders have been waiting for to get them past this 4 month lull. Also, on the idea of entering, this is still 18% from the ATH so there is plenty of space to move with gaps to fill. Now there are resistances prior to getting there and that won’t happen overnight but it is a positive for the massive company.
A Final Note
Apples downfall right now is that they haven’t announced anything about AI and that’s what shareholders are waiting for. They don’t want to see Apple getting left behind on what might be the future of technology. Personally, I would rather Tim Cook announced a buyout of an AI company with that $100B but that’s probably why I’m not CEO. Apple has always been a safe bet to put your money, and I don’t think that is going to change anytime soon.
