FlowBank's hand-curated fresh financial news [header_noDither] Apple Shares Surge Amidst AI Optimism Apple shares increased by 4.3% to $175.04, marking their best day since May 2023, buoyed by a broader tech rally particularly among AI-focused companies. The overall positive sentiment was supported by a rise in the Nasdaq Composite by 1.77%. Despite a year-to-date decline of over 5% in Apple's stock, optimism is growing among hedge fund investors according to JPMorgan analysts. This is partly attributed to the potential AI-driven growth, with forthcoming AI features in products and a new cycle of iPhone sales anticipated in 2026. Additionally, Apple is reportedly developing new Macs with advanced M4 chips to further capitalize on AI technology.
