Something went wrong
Shares of iPhone and iPad maker Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) jumped 2.3% in the afternoon session after the company announced that John Ternus, senior vice president of Hardware Engineering, would become its next chief executive officer, a move that analysts viewed positively.
The transition was planned for September 1, 2026, with CEO Tim Cook set to become executive chairman of the board. The leadership change was seen on Wall Street as a key positive catalyst. This sentiment was supported by bullish analyst commentary ahead of Apple's next earnings report.
Morgan Stanley reiterated its overweight rating, noting that strong iPhone sales were expected to drive revenue above consensus estimates. The firm also stated that potential margin pressures from memory inflation were already well understood by investors, and that revenue upside was likely to offset any earnings concerns.
After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $272.87, up 2.5% from previous close.

Apple\u2019s shares are not very volatile and have only had 2 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today\u2019s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful, although it might not be something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.
The previous big move we wrote about was 7 days ago when the stock gained 2.6% after news broke about a major new partnership to upgrade the iPhone\u2019s satellite features.
Amazon announced it is acquiring Globalstar, a satellite company that Apple already uses for emergency services. As part of this deal, Apple agreed to use Amazon\u2019s advanced "Leo" satellite network to power future connectivity for iPhones and Apple Watches. Investors were excited because the partnership meant Apple would have faster and more reliable satellite technology than its competitors. This move strengthens Apple\u2019s position in the growing market for space-based communication.
Apple is flat since the beginning of the year, and at $272.87 per share, it is trading close to its 52-week high of $286.19 from December 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Apple\u2019s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $2,068.
