Apple CEO Tim Cook announced that new products will be released sequentially next week, with a special press conference scheduled for March 4th, during which the media will have the opportunity to experience products launched earlier this week. Although Apple’s first-quarter revenue hit a record of $143.8 billion with earnings per share of $2.84 (mainly driven by a 23% increase in iPhone sales), the stock still faces downward pressure due to widespread market perception that its investments in artificial intelligence are lagging. Wall Street remains optimistic about Apple's market performance in 2026.
