Apple announced a quarterly dividend of $0.26 per share (approximately €0.22), reinforcing confidence in its financial stability despite ongoing challenges. Meanwhile, the tech giant faces legal tensions as a prominent YouTuber defied an active lawsuit by releasing a video about the rumored iPhone 17 Pro, amassing 950,000 views in three days. The clash highlights Apple’s struggle to control leaks amid enthusiastic tech communities, juxtaposed against its robust shareholder returns.
Political and Market Tailwinds
The stock surged amid a $100 billion U.S. manufacturing investment pledge, bolstered by political support and a broader tech rally. Weak labor data fueled rate-cut expectations, benefiting growth stocks like Apple. Additionally, industry recommendations to adopt Macs over Windows 10—facing imminent end-of-support—could further boost market share. These factors, combined with strategic alliances, position Apple for sustained investor optimism despite legal headwinds.
