Apple is pushing its hardware lineup to reclaim the title of the most valuable company on the stock market, briefly succeeding on Friday. The campaign, led by new CEO John Ternus, marks a shift from predecessor Tim Cook's services-first strategy and comes as the AI trade loses steam. Investor concerns over AI financing were renewed this week by Meta's off-balance-sheet spending plans of $825 billion and Tesla's estimated $100 billion chip plant, while SK Hynix paused a spin-off IPO and the 10-year Treasury yield pushed back under 5%. The new iPhone Duo launched Friday.

- From AI laggard to $5 Trillion: Apple's winning strategy
Apple has reached a market capitalization of about $5 trillion, second only to Nvidia. The company was criticized early for not spending heavily on AI like Google and other peers, and its stock fell while those rivals poured capital into the trade. Investors now reward Apple for avoiding heavy leverage and excessive capital spending, even though the stock trades at a premium to many peers. The commentators credit Tim Cook with building the services business, which they estimate at about a third of revenue, by monetizing the existing hardware base.
- Apple Is One of the Most Profitable Businesses in the World. Here's Why the Stock Is Worth $295 a Share Right Now.
The article argues Apple is one of the world's most profitable businesses, with its shares up 1,080% over 10 years as of 21 October and a market capitalisation of 5 trillion USD. In the fiscal third quarter of 2026 (ended 27 June), Apple reported net income of 29.8 billion USD; services made up 28% of revenue with a 76% gross margin, versus 40% for products. The author notes the stock trades at 35 times forward earnings, an 81% premium to the S&P 500's 19.3, and that a forward P/E of 30 would imply a value of about 295 USD per share, 14% below the current 344 USD. The article also acknowledges the bull case that the stock deserves a high valuation given the company's quality and durable returns.
- Apple Is Up 28% This Year: Take Profits, or Hold On for the Ride?
- Apple (AAPL) Stock Could Be 25% Overvalued Despite New Device Launch Plans
Apple shares trade around US$343.99 after a strong multi-year run and have returned 136.9% over the past 5 years. The article uses a discounted cash flow (DCF) model to conclude that Apple's intrinsic value sits meaningfully below the current price, even though trailing twelve-month free cash flow is about $135.2b. The model projects free cash flow rising toward more than $200b by 2031 before growth slows in a second stage. The article argues the market prices the stock above what these cash flows justify, as Apple passes a $5 trillion market value and pushes into premium devices and AI-focused hardware; its P/E is 38.9x.
- Apple Stock Could Have Another Major Growth Chapter Ahead
24/7 Wall St. rates Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) a BUY with a $398.16 price target, versus a $343.46 share price. The case rests on nine straight quarters of EPS beats and 27.1% net income growth, with fiscal Q3 revenue up 16.4% to $109.42 billion and EPS of $2.02 against a $1.89 estimate. The bull case reaches $452.02 and the bear case $337.72, with memory costs flagged as a key risk after management guided gross margin to 47% to 48%. On valuation, Apple's 35x forward P/E sits above Microsoft's 25x and Dell's 21x, and its PEG of 2.7 compares with Dell's 0.65.
- Apple vs. Broadcom: Which Tech Stock Is a Better Buy in 2026?
The article compares Apple (AAPL) and Broadcom (AVGO) as 2026 investments. Apple's fiscal 2025 revenue rose 6.4% to nearly $416.2 billion, with net income of about $112 billion and free cash flow near $98.8 billion, while Broadcom's revenue jumped 23.9% to about $63.9 billion, with net income near $23.1 billion and free cash flow near $26.9 billion. Broadcom's 36.2% net margin beats Apple's 26.9%, but its top five customers account for about 40% of revenue, a concentration risk. The author, a longtime Apple shareholder, sees Broadcom as more attractive on future earnings estimates and suggests holding Apple but not adding to it, given its roughly $5 trillion market cap. The piece also warns that stock-based compensation inflates Broadcom's reported cash generation.

- Russia Has Transferred Non-Nuclear Submarine Technology to Strategic Partner
A C4ADS report says Russia has transferred submarine technical documents and test materials to China since the 2010s, with the exchanges continuing after Russia launched its full-scale war in Ukraine in February 2022. The cooperation reportedly covers noise reduction, non-nuclear propulsion and hull design. Commercial records show Rubin Central Design Bureau, a sanctioned subsidiary of state-owned USC, made 12 deliveries worth over $80 million to PLA and CSOI procurement bodies between August 2015 and April 2023. An expert says some documents, including cavitation tests, suggest Rubin was helping CSOI test the effectiveness of noise-reduction technology for Chinese submarines.
- Is Stripe's New Stablecoin Card a Major Threat to XRP?
On October 15, Stripe and partner Plasma announced plans to develop payment cards for spending stablecoins in five currencies, slated for more than 100 countries in 2027. The article argues the card addresses a different need than XRP's bridge-currency role: Stripe serves individuals and card issuers, while XRP is mainly relevant to institutions moving large sums between thinly traded currency pairs. Ripple's current cross-border options list RLUSD, USDC, USDT and fiat currencies without mentioning XRP, and the XRP Ledger collected just $1.6 million in fees in the 30 days ended October 21. The author concludes the Stripe card is the least of XRP's problems, as there is little evidence the coin is widely used as a bridge currency.
- Tom Lee Says AI Selloff Is Nearing Its End, Points To Setup Similar To Cisco's 1997 Rout — Sees Opportunity In NVDA, Software And Beyond
Fundstrat's Tom Lee says the AI stock selloff is nearing its end and presents an opportunity rather than the start of a deeper decline, after the Nasdaq Composite fell 2.6% on Thursday. He notes Treasury yields have moved back below 5% and the Fed could be turning potentially dovish, while arguing that tighter debt markets are restraining excessive speculation. He compares the situation with Cisco's 1997 drop and views AI infrastructure, memory stocks, Nvidia, the Magnificent Seven and software favorably, estimating $30 trillion in AI infrastructure spending over the next 25 years. After hours, SPY gained 0.15%, QQQ rose 0.07% and DIA climbed 0.13%.
- Want Income for Life? PepsiCo Yields 4.3% and Has the Kind of Competitive Moat That Makes the Income Durable.
PepsiCo's dividend yield of 4.3% is above its five-year average of 3.2% and the S&P 500's 1.1%, supported by an annual dividend of $5.92 per share. The company has raised its payout for 54 consecutive years, and trailing 12-month free cash flow of $10.8 billion is cited as sufficient to cover expected dividend costs of about $8 billion this fiscal year. The article credits PepsiCo's healthier product changes and the Siete Foods acquisition for growth: revenue in the first nine months of fiscal 2026 reached $69 billion, up 7%, and net income of $8.4 billion rose 47%. Although the stock is down for the year, its P/E ratio has fallen to about 17, near multiyear lows.
- 3 Key Things to Monitor When Tech Giants Report Earnings
The article highlights three factors to watch as Alphabet, Microsoft and Amazon report earnings: AI capital expenditure, revenue growth rates and management guidance. If hyperscalers keep ramping up spending, chipmakers could benefit. Micron posted 379% year-over-year revenue growth in its fiscal Q4 2026, while Google Cloud grew 82% in the second quarter, and the author prefers operating income over net income because large investments in SpaceX and Anthropic distort net results. Amazon reported a trailing 12-month cash outflow of $7.6 billion, mainly due to AI investments, compared with $18.2 billion in positive free cash flow for the 12 months ended June 30, 2025.
- Trump is pushing a massive AI buildout. His own voters are wary of what comes with it
President Trump frames the AI race with China as a national-security priority and backs a major buildout of data centers and power infrastructure. A CNBC All-America survey of 1,000 registered voters (conducted Oct. 14-18) finds that while about 55% of MAGA supporters want AI development to continue alongside congressional regulation, only 29% would back a data center within 10 miles of their home and 40% would oppose one. Across the electorate, 63% oppose a nearby AI data center and 13% support one, with 80% of Democrats opposed. When asked their top concern if Republicans keep Congress, 18% of voters cited failure to regulate AI and data centers. Trump has suggested developers pay host communities a “dividend” and generate their own power.
