Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) Azioni

APPLE INC

Apple

Apple is among the largest companies in the world, with a broad portfolio of hardware and software products targeted at consumers and businesses. Apple's iPhone makes up a majority of the firm sales, and Apple's other products like Mac, iPad, and Watch are designed around the iPhone as the focal point of an expansive software ecosystem. Apple has progressively worked to add new applications, like streaming video, subscription bundles, and augmented reality. The firm designs its own software and semiconductors while working with subcontractors like Foxconn and TSMC to build its products and chips. Slightly less than half of Apple's sales come directly through its flagship stores, with a majority of sales coming indirectly through partnerships and distribution.

Apple's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NYSE">AAPL</a>) short percent of float has risen 6.35% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 100.23 million shares sold short, which is 0.67% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.98 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Apple Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1751565620_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Apple has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Apple's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Apple's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 11.17%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/alibaba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">stock has surged 28%</a> year-to-date, topping the NYSE Composite&#8217;s 8% gain and the NYSE Arca China&#8217;s 18%. It has gained over 44% in the last twelve months.
The Chinese e-commerce giant&#8217;s core e-commerce and cloud businesses, strategic investments in artificial intelligence, and phase-out of non-core assets have been fueling the upside for the company, which is also deemed the tech barometer of China.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cloud And AI</h2>
Specifically, the company&#8217;s Cloud Intelligence Group is experiencing accelerating growth, particularly in AI-related products, and its Qwen AI model family is gaining traction.

This move supports Apple&#8217;s push to expand its Apple Intelligence suite in the region while aligning with China&#8217;s regulatory requirements for public AI model use.
Also in June, Alibaba&#8217;s Damo Academy and Zhejiang Cancer Hospital co-developed an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46137326/alibabas-ai-model-outperforms-radiologists-in-early-gastric-cancer-detection" rel="noreferrer noopener">AI model, Grape</a>, to detect gastric cancer from 3D CT scans. The Grape model identifies early-stage stomach cancer and significantly outperforms radiologists, according to Nature Medicine.
Alibaba continues integrating AI into healthcare, building on its 2023 breakthrough in pancreatic cancer detection.
Alibaba is aggressively expanding its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46215371/alibaba-cloud-opens-third-malaysia-data-center-plans-second-in-philippines" rel="noreferrer noopener">global cloud presence</a>, opening new data centers in Malaysia, South Korea, and the Philippines. By 2025, it plans to extend Qwen AI models and Model Studio globally and launch a global AI hub in Singapore.
The company aims to grow its cloud network across China, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas over the next three years.
Backed by a $52 billion investment, Alibaba pushes international growth amid U.S. tensions and intensifies AI competition in China.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Market Share And Earnings</h2>
In 2025, the revenue in the smartphone market in China could reach $111.86 billion, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.statista.com/outlook/cmo/consumer-electronics/telephony/smartphones/china" rel="noreferrer noopener">as per</a> Statista, implying a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.31% from 2025 to 2030.
Revenue in the public cloud market worldwide could reach $980.30 billion in 2025, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.statista.com/outlook/tmo/public-cloud/worldwide" rel="noreferrer noopener">as per</a> Statista. The revenue could post an annual growth rate (CAGR 2025-2030) of 17.12%, resulting in a market volume of $2.16 trillion by 2030.
In May, Alibaba reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45473543/alibabas-cloud-and-e-commerce-units-shine-as-analyst-sees-ai-take-rates-fueling-future-growth" rel="noreferrer noopener">fiscal fourth-quarter</a> revenue growth of 7% to $32.58 billion, missing the analyst consensus estimate of $33.08 billion.

Alibaba&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BABA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus price forecast</a> is $146.81, based on the ratings of 17 analysts.

Alibaba's AI And Cloud Moves Have Sparked 28% Stock Rebound

"I still feel responsibility," former Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) design chief&nbsp; Jony Ive told the Financial Times in an <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/7f0a45b0-a3cc-4e1c-be71-1b7b42958d4d">interview</a> earlier this month. OpenAI announced in May it would acquire his hardware startup for $6.4 billion to develop an AI device aimed at addressing the negative effects of smartphones.&nbsp;
The Apple legend added that "humanity deserves better," promising a gadget that counters screen addiction and anxiety while reviving Silicon Valley's original sense of mission.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">OpenAI Bets On Hardware</h2>
OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman announced on May 21 an all-stock deal to buy Ive's year-old startup io Products for about $6.5 billion, elevating the designer to group creative director.&nbsp;

The transaction would fold Ive's 15-person LoveFrom industrial-design team into OpenAI's San Francisco campus, where engineers plan to fuse large-language-model software with custom silicon for natural voice dialogue. However, the agreement may be in limbo.
A trademark lawsuit filed by a separate startup called iyO has prompted a federal judge to temporarily bar OpenAI from marketing the product under the "io" name. In response, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman <a href="https://x.com/sama/status/1937606794362388674">posted </a>screenshots of email exchanges with iyO founder Jason Rugolo, showing that Rugolo had first approached him about an acquisition. Altman declined, citing a competing product, and called the lawsuit "silly, disappointing and wrong."
A now-pulled 9-minute promotional <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDNyFN_eMec">video</a>—removed after a trademark lawsuit—showed Altman calling their prototype "the coolest piece of technology the world will have ever seen.&#8221;

TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo expects the screen-free device to resemble a neck-worn iPod Shuffle with microphones and cameras that read a user's surroundings,<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2025/05/22/ming-chi-kuo-on-openai-device-design/"> </a>according to her May <a href="https://x.com/mingchikuo/status/1925543472993321066">X post</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mental Health Signals Urgency</h2>
"Many of us would say we have an uneasy relationship with technology at the moment… While some of the less positive consequences were unintentional, I still feel responsibility… The manifestation of that is a determination to try and be useful," Ive told the <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/7f0a45b0-a3cc-4e1c-be71-1b7b42958d4d">FT</a>.
Public-health data amplify the stakes: 11% of U.S. children ages 3–17 have diagnosed anxiety, according to recent <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/children-mental-health/data-research/index.html">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention</a> statistics. A survey released in April by the<a href="https://www.apa.org/monitor/2025/2025-04-05-monitor.pdf"> American Psychological Association</a> found only 58.5% of teens say they routinely receive needed emotional support. A separate<a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2025/04/22/teens-social-media-and-mental-health/"> Pew Research Center report</a> shows that 34% of teen girls feel social media makes them worse about their lives.
Philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs echoed those concerns during the same FT interview, warning that technology's "dark uses" have sent youth mental-health trends "sideways."

$1000 Invested In Apple 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

China&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/smartphones" rel="noreferrer noopener">smartphone market</a> is set for a significant rebound in the second quarter of 2025, with both Huawei Technologies and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) leading the charge in year-on-year growth, according to preliminary figures from Counterpoint Research.
Huawei is expected to post the highest growth among <a target="_blank" href="https://www.counterpointresearch.com/insight/china-smartphone-market-q2-2025/" rel="noreferrer noopener">major brands</a>, potentially taking the top spot in the Chinese market in the second quarter.
Ivan Lam, Senior Research Analyst at Counterpoint Research, notes that Huawei is &#8220;still riding high on the loyalty of its core users, who are replacing their old phones with new Huawei releases.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Apple&#8217;s Strategic Rebound And Market Dynamics</h2>
Apple also saw an increase in sales during May, primarily driven by promotional discounts for the iPhone 16 series, especially the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Counterpoint Research Associate Director Ethan Qi stated that &#8220;Apple&#8217;s May discounts for iPhones bore fruit, coming a week ahead of the 618 shopping festival.&#8221;
This move proved effective. Apple ultimately claimed the top spot during the 618 sales period, with three iPhone variants making it onto the bestseller list.
Mengmeng Zhang, Senior Research Analyst at Counterpoint Research, added that the domestic smartphone subsidy boosted the second quarter&#8217;s performance, but also flagged risks related to scaling back these subsidies later in the year. While the 618 sales period itself was flat year-on-year, most of the quarter&#8217;s growth occurred in May.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fierce Competition And Apple&#8217;s Counter-Moves</h2>
The competitive landscape in China remains intense. Xiaomi (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACF#OTC">XIACF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACY#OTC">XIACY</a>) is directly challenging Apple with its new 15S Pro, which is priced lower than iPhone models and eligible for government subsidies, CNBC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/22/chinas-xiaomi-claims-new-phone-chip-rivals-apple-at-a-cheaper-price.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> in May.
CEO Lei Jun claims Xiaomi&#8217;s Xring O1 chip outperforms Apple&#8217;s A18 Pro in heat management during gaming.
To counter this, Apple has reportedly been <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45585977/apple-raises-iphone-trade-in-prices-in-china-to-fend-off-huawei-xiaomi-amid-lagging-sales" rel="noreferrer noopener">increasing trade-in prices</a> for iPhones in China to fend off competition in its second-largest market. Trade-in prices refer to the money people in China can receive toward a new iPhone by exchanging their old device.
Furthermore, Apple is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45975004/alibaba-updates-llms-to-power-ai-on-apple-devices-in-china" rel="noreferrer noopener">working to expand</a> its Apple Intelligence suite to mainland China by integrating Alibaba Group Holding&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) updated Qwen3 AI models into devices like iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks. This move signals Apple&#8217;s push to gain traction in China while complying with local regulations that require government approval for publicly used AI models.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Global Outlook And Headwinds</h2>
Despite the positive outlook for China, the global smartphone market faces some headwinds. Counterpoint Research lowered its 2025 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45930835/iphone-sales-rebound-in-china-but-apples-next-move-could-be-risky" rel="noreferrer noopener">global smartphone shipment growth</a> forecast to 1.9% from 4.2%, citing tariff uncertainties under the Trump administration.
Similarly, IDC cut its 2025 global growth outlook to 0.6% from 2.3%, though it projects China&#8217;s shipments to rise 3% thanks to government subsidies.
However, IDC expects Apple&#8217;s global shipments to fall 1.9% in 2025 amid Huawei competition, economic headwinds, and a lack of local incentives.
U.S. smartphone growth could also slow to 1.9% in 2025 from 3.3% in 2017, as higher tariff prices weigh on demand.
Price Action: AAPL stock is trading higher by 0.51% to $213.53 at last check Thursday.

Top 10 Trending Stocks On WallStreetBets As Of July 3, 2025 (Via Swaggy Stocks)

Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) has underperformed the PHLX Semiconductor Index year-to-date, with returns of approximately 6% for QCOM <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chip-stocks">compared to the index&#8217;s</a> roughly 13%.
The divergence is starker over three months, where Qualcomm&#8217;s ~6% gains pale against the index&#8217;s 30% AI-driven rally, even with U.S.-China tech restrictions.
The gap is evident when looking at its peers in the GPU and custom chip space, Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) generated ~43% returns, Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) a robust 57%, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) 35%, and Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) ~18%.

Given this performance disparity, it&#8217;s crucial to assess Qualcomm&#8217;s current difficulties and its strategies for improvement.
Qualcomm&#8217;s core business spans chipsets, software, and products for mobile, automotive, and IoT. A notable impact on Qualcomm&#8217;s revenue stemmed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43519066/qualcomm-rides-ai-wave-to-record-quarter-but-q2-guidance-dampens-investors-dragging-the-stock-down">from the slowdown in</a> Apple Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) shipments, as Apple previously relied on Qualcomm for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/02/43888012/apples-in-house-modem-chip-sparks-qualcomm-concerns-3-etfs-with-key-exposure">modem chips</a> that connect iPhones to wireless networks. 
This gradual transition by Apple to its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45490266/qualcomm-re-enters-data-center-cpu-market-taps-nvidia-tech-to-power-ai-ambitions">in-house chips</a> has, in turn, spurred Qualcomm to strategically re-enter the data center CPU market, a segment currently dominated by AMD and Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>). 
Looking ahead, Qualcomm has set an ambitious goal to generate $22 billion in non-handset revenue by 2029, with AI identified as a pivotal driver for this expansion.
Central to this strategy is a planned integration of Nvidia technology into future chips to optimize GPU communication for its AI data center offerings. 
Following a prior pause on an Arm-based CPU project with Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Qualcomm has revived its data center CPU initiatives and re-engaged in discussions. Additionally, a strategic partnership with Saudi AI firm Humain is underway to co-develop a custom data center CPU.
Beyond AI, Qualcomm sees substantial growth in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46217099/autonomous-vehicles-best-stocks">autonomous vehicle market</a>. Bank of America analyst Martyn Briggs highlights this sector&#8217;s potential, likening its current trajectory to the &#8220;ChatGPT moment&#8221; in AI.
Despite its stock underperformance, Qualcomm demonstrated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45150491/qualcomm-stock-drops-after-analysts-lower-price-targets-despite-strong-demand-from-apple-and-samsung">solid operational results</a>, exceeding second-quarter expectations with $10.84 billion in revenue and $2.85 EPS. This was driven by robust performance across its Handsets, IoT, and Automotive segments. 
Notably, Qualcomm CDMA Technologies (QCT) revenue surged 18% year-over-year, boosted by Snapdragon adoption, AI-enabled IoT solutions, and a 59% growth in Automotive from new global OEM contracts.
Looking ahead, analysts project QCT to expand approximately 12% year-over-year in the third quarter, with IoT and Automotive forecasted to see 15% and 20% growth, respectively. 
Qualcomm&#8217;s China business remains resilient, underpinned by premium Android subsidies and consistent design wins.
For the June quarter, revenue guidance stands at $9.9 billion-$10.7 billion, with EPS projected at $2.60-$2.80. The launch of Samsung&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) Snapdragon-based foldables could provide an additional boost to handset sales.
Analyst sentiment reflects cautious optimism, with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/QCOM/analyst-ratings">consensus price forecast</a> of $186.71 based on 32 analyst ratings. Price forecasts range from a high of $270 (Tigress Financial, June 21, 2024) to a low of $140 (Wells Fargo, May 1, 2025). The average forecast of $170.67 suggests a potential 5.16% upside for Qualcomm from current levels.
Qualcomm is actively transforming its business beyond smartphones to overcome its stock underperformance against the semiconductor index and rivals. By focusing on high-growth areas like AI data center CPUs (including partnerships with Nvidia and renewed Meta discussions) and autonomous vehicles, and aiming for $22 billion in non-handset revenue by 2029, Qualcomm seeks to diversify. Despite a lagging stock, strong second-quarter results and analyst price forecasts suggest potential upside as its strategic pivot unfolds.
Price Action: Qualcomm stock is trading higher by 0.38% to $162.95 premarket at last check Thursday.

Why Qualcomm's Stock Isn't Soaring Like Its Rivals

Chipmakers are likely to benefit from the &#8216;One Big Beautiful Bill Act&#8217; passed by the Senate on Tuesday, as they will be eligible for an investment tax credit that can incentivize the semiconductor business.
What Happened: According to the provisions of the tax cut bill proposed by President Donald Trump, the Big Beautiful Bill aims to temporarily increase an investment tax credit for semiconductor manufacturers till the end of 2026.
It would raise the tax credit to 30% of investments in manufacturing facilities, from the current 25%, providing stronger incentives for companies to expand domestic production.
Trump was initially critical of the Chips and Science Act, which granted awards worth $32.5417 billion and provided loans up to $5.85 billion to 32 companies, as per the <a href="https://www.semiconductors.org/chip-supply-chain-investments/">Semiconductor Industry Association</a>.
However, Trump set up a new entity, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44584283/days-after-calling-the-chips-act-a-horrible-thing-donald-trump-sets-up-new-entity-for-negotiating-much-better-deals-heres-more">United States Investment Accelerator</a>, within the Commerce Department, which now oversees the CHIPS Act program, as established by an executive order signed by him. 
The Big Beautiful Bill has now gone back to the House after<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46211326/one-big-beautiful-bill-passes-senate-with-jd-vances-tie-breaking-vote-trump-says-its-going-to-go-very-nicely-in-the-house"> narrowly passing in the Senate</a>, before the President could finally sign it to make it into a law. 
These are the top chipmakers and the existing beneficiaries of the Chips Act that will benefit from this investment tax credit mentioned within the tax cut bill.

Why It Matters: On March 4, during his joint address to Congress, Trump said, "Your Chips Act is a horrible, horrible thing."
He also urged U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson to "get rid" of it and use "whatever is left over" to "reduce debt or any other reason you want to."
However, the Trump administration has skipped repealing the act with the Investment Accelerator entity and even managed to get the semiconductor firms to invest in the U.S. over and above the Chips Act this year.
In early March, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) revealed its plans to inject $100 billion into U.S. advanced semiconductor manufacturing, significantly expanding its ongoing $65 billion Arizona initiative under the Chips Act and bringing total investment to $165 billion.

Analyst Notes: Blockchain analytics platform Santiment said Bitcoin's rally has sparked a FOMO on social media.
"Prices move opposite to retail traders&#8217; behavior, so don&#8217;t be surprised by a brief rally halt while greed is high," Santiment added.

On the other hand, widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez found Bitcoin's daily chart "promising."
"A daily close above $109,000 could open the door to a rally toward $118,000," the analyst predicted.

Why It's Important: The top 10 list for the first six months of 2025 looked similar to the month of June, with eight of the companies the same.
UnitedHealth Group, which has appeared in only one top 20 over the past three months, ranked sixth thanks to the strong interest in the ticker at the start of the year.
Super Micro Computer similarly ranked eighth for the first half of 2025 despite only a ninth place rank in April and not being in the top 20 in May or June. The stock was particularly popular during the first three months of the year.
If the top 10 holds steady for the rest of the year, the top three stocks would match the 2024 year, but in a different order. In 2024, it was Nvidia ranked first, followed by Tesla and the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust. The three stocks now rank in opposite order through the first six months of the year.
Outside of the top 10 there weren't many huge surprises with themes such as cryptocurrency, AI and quantum computing being strong in the first six months of 2025.
Apple ended the first half of the year ranked 12th, despite previously ranking in the top 10 in several months to start the year. Other Mag 7 stocks such as Amazon and Meta also ranked in the 11 to 20. Alphabet ranked just outside of the top 20 for the first half of the year at 22nd place. Nowhere to be found in the top 25 was Microsoft, a member of the Mag 7 and the second most valuable company in the world.

EXCLUSIVE: 2025's First Half Most-Searched Tickers On Benzinga Pro — Where Do Nvidia, Tesla, Apple Stock Rank?

Following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46133145/apple-opens-eu-app-store-to-external-payments-to-avoid-fines-under-digital-markets-act-but-adds-new-fees">recent legal setbacks</a> for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) regarding alleged monopolistic practices and new App Store fee policies driven by the EU&#8217;s Digital Markets Act (DMA), Bank of America Securities (BofA) analyst Curtis Nagle has re-evaluated the financial outlook for major subscription service companies.
His updated analysis suggests that a reduction in app store fees, currently a significant cost of revenue, could provide a boost to the earnings of Duolingo, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUOL#NASDAQ">DUOL</a>), Match Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTCH#NASDAQ">MTCH</a>), and Bumble Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMBL#NASDAQ">BMBL</a>).
The analyst emphasized that while shifts in user and revenue trends will continue to drive sentiment and valuation for subscription-based companies, lower app store fees could offer meaningful earnings upside that Wall Street hasn&#8217;t fully priced in. App store fees currently represent the largest share of cost of revenues, 17% for Duolingo, and 20% each for Match Group and Bumble.

On a gross basis, every 500 basis-point (bps) shift in subscription revenue to off-app payments could boost Duolingo&#8217;s EBITDA by 3.3%, Match&#8217;s by 2.8%, and Bumble&#8217;s by 3.0%. Similarly, a 100 bps reduction in app store fees could lift their EBITDA by 3.2%, 2.7%, and 3.5%, respectively.
While he is constructive on earnings accretion from lower fees, potential offsets include reinvestment of savings and companies limiting efforts to move payments off the app if it results in frictions that decrease subscriber conversion. 
Nagle raised his price forecasts for Bumble <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BMBL/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">to $5.50 from $5.25</a> and Match Group to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MTCH/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">$34 from $32</a> due to higher sector valuation. He <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DUOL/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintained his $450</a> price forecast for Duolingo.
This shift or fee reduction is expected to translate to a 1-2% increase for US-based revenues for these companies. The impact on EU-based revenues is estimated to be smaller, resulting in only a 0.5% EBITDA increase.
As per Nagle, Bumble stands to gain the most from a potential drop in U.S. app fees. Two recent developments, the Apple-The Department of Justice (DOJ) case and an April court ruling in the Apple-Epic case, support this possibility. The analyst noted that the latter ruling allows developers to direct users to off-app payment options. Although Apple is appealing, he pointed out that it plans to comply now.
Bumble, along with Duolingo and Match, is already testing off-app payments. Analysts expect more updates during the second-quarter earnings in August. According to Nagle&#8217;s estimates, every 500 bps shift to off-app payments and a 100 bps cut in U.S. app fees could boost Bumble&#8217;s total EBITDA by 1.7%. He said that even when limited to U.S. subscription revenue via Apple&#8217;s App Store, EBITDA could still rise by 1.2%.
Because Duolingo, Match, and Bumble generate only about 20% of their subscription revenue from the EU, compared to 45% from the U.S., Nagle noted that they have limited earnings upside if EU app fees decline due to DMA compliance. The analyst estimated that every 500 bps shift in EU revenue to off-app payments and a 100 bps reduction in EU app fees would raise total EBITDA for these companies by only about 0.5% on average.

<h3>Apple Background</h3>
Apple is among the largest companies in the world, with a broad portfolio of hardware and software products targeted at consumers and businesses. Apple's iPhone makes up a majority of the firm sales, and Apple's other products like Mac, iPad, and Watch are designed around the iPhone as the focal point of an expansive software ecosystem. Apple has progressively worked to add new applications, like streaming video, subscription bundles, and augmented reality. The firm designs its own software and semiconductors while working with subcontractors like Foxconn and TSMC to build its products and chips. Slightly less than half of Apple's sales come directly through its flagship stores, with a majority of sales coming indirectly through partnerships and distribution.

<ul>
<li>
With a Price to Earnings ratio of 32.37, which is 0.86x less than the industry average, the stock shows potential for growth at a reasonable price, making it an interesting consideration for market participants.
</li>
<li>
With a Price to Book ratio of 46.47, which is 6.75x the industry average, Apple might be considered overvalued in terms of its book value, as it is trading at a higher multiple compared to its industry peers.
</li>
<li>
The Price to Sales ratio of 7.89, which is 3.89x the industry average, suggests the stock could potentially be overvalued in relation to its sales performance compared to its peers.
</li>
<li>
With a Return on Equity (ROE) of 37.11% that is 32.35% above the industry average, it appears that the company exhibits efficient use of equity to generate profits.
</li>

Compared to its industry, the company has higher Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of $32.25 Billion, which is 129.0x above the industry average, indicating stronger profitability and robust cash flow generation.
</li>
<li>
The company has higher gross profit of $44.87 Billion, which indicates 59.04x above the industry average, indicating stronger profitability and higher earnings from its core operations.
</li>
<li>
The company is witnessing a substantial decline in revenue growth, with a rate of 5.08% compared to the industry average of 12.29%, which indicates a challenging sales environment.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Debt To Equity Ratio</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1751468467_0.png" alt="debt to equity" />
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio is a measure that indicates the level of debt a company has taken on relative to the value of its assets net of liabilities.
Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.
In light of the Debt-to-Equity ratio, a comparison between Apple and its top 4 peers reveals the following information:
<ul>
<li>
Among its top 4 peers, Apple is placed in the middle with a moderate debt-to-equity ratio of 1.47.

<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
For Apple in the Technology Hardware, Storage &amp; Peripherals industry, the PE ratio is low compared to peers, indicating potential undervaluation. The PB and PS ratios are high, suggesting overvaluation relative to industry standards. Apple's high ROE, EBITDA, and gross profit signify strong profitability, while the low revenue growth implies slower expansion compared to industry peers.

<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

Recent Report Shows That Rep. Cleo Fields Bought Up to $11.07M Worth of NVIDIA Stock

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tsmc" rel="noreferrer noopener">stock surged 14%</a> year-to-date, beating the market considerably despite Washington&#8217;s tariff policies and semiconductor sanctions cast a shadow over a sustained AI frenzy.
During the same period, the PHLX Semiconductor Index, of which Taiwan Semiconductor is also a constituent, generated 11% returns.
S&amp;P 500 and NASDAQ Composite Indexes generated approximately 5% returns during the period.

The key supplier of Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has generated 32% returns in the last three months, compared to 29% for PHLX Semiconductor, 10% for the S&amp;P 500, and 16% for the Nasdaq Composite.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Risks</h2>
The Trump administration has also explored <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46105742/nvidia-supplier-taiwan-semiconductor-wants-to-raise-10-billion-for-this-risk-it-cannot-control" rel="noreferrer noopener">plans to end</a> waivers for chipmakers to prevent the export of American technology to China.
Apart from the geopolitical risk, TSMC is also susceptible to currency risk due to high U.S. dollar exposure. The company&#8217;s overseas unit, Taiwan Semiconductor Global, faces a currency risk – the Taiwanese dollar is strengthening against the now volatile and weakening U.S. dollar.
TSMC Global Ltd. is preparing to raise $10 billion by issuing new shares to manage currency volatility and maintain capital flexibility. This marks the third such equity move since 2024, and it is the largest to date. The timing coincides with the recent appreciation of the Taiwan dollar.
TSMC&#8217;s CEO C. C. Wei informed shareholders this month that the stronger currency has reduced the firm&#8217;s operating margin by several percentage points.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Earnings and Market Share</h2>
In April, Taiwan Semiconductor reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44857887/taiwan-semiconductor-q1-surges-41-in-sales-boosted-by-ai-chip-demand-expanded-margins" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter net sales</a> of $25.53 billion (839.25 billion New Taiwanese Dollars), up 41.6% year-over-year, topping the analyst consensus estimate of $23.92 billion. However, the net sales declined&nbsp;3.4% Q/Q. In U.S. dollar terms, revenue growth was 35.3% Y/Y and down by 5.1% Q/Q.
Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s AI technology moat helped it expand its quarterly gross margins by 572 bps to 58.8%.
In March, Taiwan Semiconductor chief&nbsp;C.C. Wei&nbsp;announced&nbsp;an additional&nbsp;$100 billion&nbsp;investment&nbsp;in U.S. chipmaking (on top of the $65 billion announced in April 2024).
The chipmaker explored commercializing its&nbsp;advanced 2-nanometer process&nbsp;using gate-all-around (GAA) technology in the second half of 2025.
According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45953943/taiwan-semiconductor-eyes-rollout-of-2nm-advanced-tech-chips-this-year" rel="noreferrer noopener">expected to equip</a> its upcoming iPhone 18 lineup with Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s advanced 2nm A20 chip.

Taiwan Semiconductor grew its market share to 67.6% in the first quarter of 2025 from 67.1% in the previous quarter, Focus Taiwan <a target="_blank" href="https://focustaiwan.tw/business/202506140017" rel="noreferrer noopener">cited</a> Trendforce. Samsung Electronics (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) held a 7.7% global market share, down from 8.1% Q/Q.
The top 10 contract chipmakers reported $36.4 billion in sales in the first quarter, down ~5.4% Q/Q. They account for ~97% of the global total, up from 96% in the fourth quarter.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Analyst Opinion</h2>
Taiwan Semiconductor has a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSM/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus price forecast</a> of $210.8 based on the ratings of 6 analysts. The high is $270, issued by Needham on July 1, 2025. With an average price forecast of $255 between Needham, Susquehanna, and Barclays, there&#8217;s an implied 12.90% upside for Taiwan Semiconductor from these most recent analyst ratings.
Last week, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/06/46066220/cathie-woods-ark-invest-cashes-out-109-million-out-of-circle-internet-stock-as-shares-spike-pivots-into-robinhood-and-these-chip-stocks" rel="noreferrer noopener">acquired 65,102 shares</a> of Taiwan Semiconductor.

Top 10 Trending Stocks On WallStreetBets As Of July 2, 2025 (Via Swaggy Stocks)

Tech bull Daniel Ives has urged Tim Cook&#8216;s Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) to make quick moves and acquire Perplexity AI for its search engine.
What Happened: Stating that Apple was kind of a &#8220;yawner&#8221; at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45846510/apple-wwdc-2025-from-live-translation-to-genmoji-visual-ai-and-chatgpt-integration-here-are-the-new-apple-intelligence-features">WWDC 2025</a> event, Dan Ives said the iPhone maker needs to &#8220;make a move,&#8221; in an interview with <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2025/07/01/dan-ives-techs-huge-rally-will-continue-in-the-second-half-of-the-year.html">CNBC</a> during its &#8216;Power Lunch&#8217; program. 
He said that Apple&#8217;s &#8220;treadmill approach&#8221; needs to end, and it needs to eye a big splashing partnership with either&nbsp;Perplexity or Anthropic.
While Ives has previously mentioned that he expects <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45899111/apple-may-end-up-acquiring-perplexity-like-it-did-with-beats-in-2014-says-dan-ives-consumers-need-reasons-to-upgrade-as-iphone-maker-falls-way-behind-in-ai-race">Apple to consider acquiring Perplexity</a>, he said in this latest conversation that &#8220;It&#8217;s a matter of when and not if, in other words, Apple needs to make a move, and it&#8217;s clear. Perplexity to me seems like a no-brainer, relative to how it would fit.&#8221; 
&#8220;Look, it&#8217;s about the developers. If you look at OpenAI, if you look at Google, if you look at Microsoft, they (Apple) need to get into the game. That is something that can&#8217;t be done in Cupertino,&#8221; he added.
He also reiterated his belief in positive upward momentum in Apple&#8217;s stock by saying that &#8220;The reason the stock can go up in the second half of the year is that I think Apple is going to make a move. I know they still haven&#8217;t done an acquisition since Beats, being the biggest one, but now is the time for Cook and Cupertino to move away from the treadmill approach.&#8221;

Why It Matters: In an X post from June 10, Jim Cramer also advocated for more <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45880840/jim-cramer-says-apple-buyback-is-not-working-right-now-michael-saylor-quips-tim-cooks-company-should-">ambitious capital allocation</a> strategies for Apple.
"I have to be critical and say they should buy Perplexity," he stated.
His advice is driven by the expected U.S. government <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/05/45708275/googles-monopoly-case-takes-a-turn-as-judge-considers-lighter-remedies-amid-rising-competition-from-ai-rivals-like-openai-and-perplexity">antitrust decision against</a> Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google by August 2025, which could disrupt Google's default search agreements with Apple's Safari browser.
Such a change would enable Apple to adopt Perplexity's conversational AI to enhance its competitiveness in the rapidly changing search market, Cramer explained.
