The US stock market rebounded in a big way this week. Certainly, bullish sentiment is beginning to arrive as geopolitical tensions ease and trade deals are on the brink of imminent. Over the past week, the S&P 500 has managed to erase 2025 losses driven by an increasingly unstable year with so many gains. It has made great profits on some of Wall Street’s top tech stocks, including Apple (AAPL).
AAPL has grown by 6.8% over the past week, but some investors believe that stocks are rebounding even more over the coming months. Apple’s continued climbing is that despite the risks of its continued and sustained supply chain, Tech Stocks has experienced new investor trust and serious concerns about Apple’s dependence on manufacturing. Apple Stock’s impressive performance now depends on its long-standing manufacturing relationship with China. This relationship creates both strategic advantages and potential vulnerabilities for AAPL investors.
While Apple Stock continues to benefit from this temporary agreement, investors are now looking closely at the need for further negotiations next year to address the issue of intellectual property.
Solid revenue and stock buybacks could send AAPLs higher
Additionally, Apple’s first quarter 2025 revenues and updated shareholder-centric strategy rekindled investors’ confidence in AAPL. Apple reported revenue of $95.4 billion for the quarter, with net profit of $24.8 billion. Earnings per share (EPS) also rose to $1.65, setting a new quarterly record for March. The Services segment highlighted Apple’s success in delivering the highest revenue ever and expanding beyond hardware. In addition to solid revenue, Apple has allowed a substantial $100 billion in stock buybacks, strengthening its commitment to long-term trust and increased shareholder value. Investors responded positively to the news and sent AAPLs higher.
When predicting Apple (AAPL) stocks, analysts stay in the middle of the road. According to CNN analysts, the stock could reach $300, but could go back to another 30% and go back to $141. However, the median forecast for CNN’s AAPL stock is around $235 over the next 12 months, with an ROI of 11% from its current price appearing to be settling. AAPL stocks could be even more valuable if Apple’s next earnings report performs again.
