đ Trump & Apple Seal $100B Mega-Deal: AAPL Primed for Explosive Rally
Wall Street braces for impact as political and tech titans collide in historic partnership.
The deal that rewires DC-Silicon Valley relations
A $100 billion handshake between the 45th President and Cupertino's crown jewel sends shockwaves through markets. AAPL options volume spikes 300% pre-market as algos scramble to price in the geopolitical premium.
Why analysts are tearing up their models
The pactâreportedly including semiconductor subsidies and data-center tax breaksâcould add $15/share to Apple's valuation overnight. Shorts are getting squeezed harder than a Twitter fact-checker in Mar-a-Lago's west wing.
The cynical take: Nothing juicier than corporate welfare dressed as 'economic patriotism'âexcept maybe the 0.05% commission your broker will pocket on the resulting volatility.
New Manufacturing Deal To Rescue Apple and AAPL Stock From Tariff Threats?
Apple has been one of the hardest-hit US companies by tariff concerns since the sweeping tariff announcement last April. Year-to-date, AAPL stock is down 14.4%. However, the news today is sending AAPL over 5% higher, and could be enough to bring the stock back out of the red.
The $100B US deal also comes while Apple (AAPL) is awaiting a decision in its case against Alphabet (GOOGL), where. Stock analysts have remained bullish on AAPL this year despite the dips, and now the stock may finally be set to rebound and meet those lofty expectations. Bank of America analysts maintain a Buy rating on the stock with a $240.00 price target. Furthermore, BofA remains optimistic about its long-term growth, driven by AI investments and solid financials.
Appleâs earnings of $1.57 per share exceeded analyst estimates of $1.43, and revenue hit $94.04 billion versus the expected $89.30 billion. Additionally, Appleâs stock price gained momentum from iPhone sales growth of 13.5% to $44.58 billion, which beat forecasts by over $4 billion, even with ongoing tariff concerns. With these concerns potentially being put to rest following its deal with the WHITE House, Apple may be an investor favorite choice among the Magnificent-7 in the short term.
