Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I am watching Apple trade with a firm tone after
a strong week, with the last closed near two hundred
twenty nine United States dollars and thirty five cents, and
in intra recent sessions showed a powerful volume surge to
roughly one hundred thirteen million, eight hundred fifty four thousand shares,
well above the typical average that has hovered near the

(00:20):
mid fifty million range, followed by a lighter day near
twenty million that looked like digestion after the pop. The
backdrop includes a climb in market value to roughly three trillion,
four hundred billion United States dollars, keeping Apple among the
most valuable companies globally. The fundamental picture just improved with

(00:42):
July quarter results topping expectations, as earnings per share of
about one United States dollar and fifty seven cents exceeded
consensus and revenue around ninety four billion United States dollars
rose high single digits year over year. Management has continued
its capital return drumbeat, including a one hundred billion United

(01:04):
States dollars buy back authorization and a quarterly dividend of
twenty six United States cents. Modest in yield but dependable
in signaling confidence on the research front. The stock benefited
from a cluster of analyst actions. Bank of America raised
its price target to two hundred fifty United States dollars
with a BY rating, while Monus, Cresby and Hart lifted

(01:27):
to two hundred seventy United States dollars with a buy.
Raymond James increased its target to two hundred forty United
States dollars with an outperform, and UBS moved to two
hundred twenty United States dollars with a new troupe. Barkley's
nudge to one hundred eighty United States dollars but kept
it underweight, highlighting some valuation caution across the street. The

(01:51):
average target sits in the low to mid two hundreds
with a moderate by consensus, reflecting a balanced but positive
skew in the tape. A sharp inter day spike on
unusually heavy volume suggests technical and order flow forces amplified
the reaction, hinting it follow through potential if volumes persist.

(02:12):
Taken together, better than expected earnings, renewed buy back and
support of analyst revisions underpin sentiment, while valuation debates keep
the path choppy but constructive.
