Apple turns positive for 2025 as rebounding stock nears all-time record

Apple stock turned positive for the year on Monday, marking a significant milestone in their rally, bringing the company close to record highs. The stock has surged over 45% from a low during peak tariff-related uncertainty in April, when it was down more than 30% year-to-date.:

Recent strength in Apple came as tariff fears waned and optimism that strong demand for its latest iPhones — especially the more-expensive models — can support growth.
“It seems clear that demand has been more robust than expected for the new products, and that’s helping to create a stronger bid for the stock,” said Bill Stone, chief investment officer at Glenview Trust Company, which has about $15.7 billion in assets under management and owns the stock. “I think expectations had been low, so the demand is a pleasant surprise, and whenever you get a positive surprise, that’s obviously supportive for the stock.”
Despite the move, Apple continues to trail other names within big tech, especially companies with more-pronounced exposure to artificial intelligence. The Nasdaq 100 Index is up 17% this year, with Nvidia Corp., Alphabet Inc., and Meta Platforms Inc. all up more than 30% this year. Microsoft Corp. is up more than 20%.
