Chart of the Day
Here is the one-year chart of Apple (AAPL) as of November 3, 2025, when the stock was at $284.
Apple stock has steadily risen since early August of this year.
Last quarter, the company posted another strong quarter with revenue up 8%, led by record revenues for its Services segment (+15%) and its flagship iPhone product (+6%). The company delivered 13% profit growth during the quarter, which is accelerated growth from 12% 2QtrsAgo and 8% 3QtrsAgo.
Last quarter, the company launched “the best iPhone lineup ever” — including iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max — as well as the AirPods Pro 3 and the all-new Apple Watch lineup. However, it was still the iPhone 16 family that drove revenue growth.
Although things are looking up for Apple, the stock’s recent move from $200 to $275 has zapped a lot of short-term upside.
AAPL is on the radar for our Conservative Growth Portfolio.
