5 November 2025

Updated Nov. 5, 2025, 19:50 UTC

At a glance: As of publication, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) traded around $270 after a report said Apple plans to use a custom version of Google’s Gemini AI to power a revamped Siri. Gains were kept in check by a wider tech wobble tied to renewed “AI bubble” worries.

Key takeaways

Price action: AAPL last traded near $270.11, with an intraday range of $266.94–$271.33 as of 19:50 UTC. Volumes were brisk following the AI report.
Catalyst: Bloomberg reported—echoed by Reuters—that Apple plans to license Google’s 1.2T‑parameter Gemini model to help power the next Siri, with an agreement said to be near and potentially worth about $1B a year. Apple and Alphabet declined to comment. ^[1]
Macro backdrop: Global stocks were choppy after warnings about stretched AI valuations; the “Magnificent Seven,” including Apple, traded mixed during the session. ^[2]

What moved AAPL on November 5, 2025

1) Siri’s big AI step—via Google
Bloomberg said Apple plans to use a custom version of Google’s Gemini (≈1.2T parameters) to turbocharge Siri while Apple continues training its own large models. Shares of both companies briefly popped on the headlines; Reuters added the deal could cost Apple around $1 billion annually, framing Gemini as a stopgap until Apple’s in‑house systems are ready. Investors read the news as a near‑term way to close the AI features gap across the iPhone base. ^[3]

2) A risk‑off tape limited upside
Even with the AI headline, Apple traded inside the day’s range as global markets reeled on AI‑bubble concerns, with US tech heavyweights under pressure earlier in the session. That macro tone blunted single‑stock reactions across the megacap complex. ^[4]

3) What’s still in the price from this week

Budget Mac chatter: Late Tuesday, Bloomberg (via Reuters) said Apple is preparing a lower‑cost Mac for 1H26, aimed at students and Chromebook buyers—another possible volume lever for the ecosystem. ^[5]
Fresh fundamentals in the rear‑view: On Oct. 30, Apple posted Q4 FY2025 revenue of ~$102.5B (+8% Y/Y) and EPS of $1.85 (+13% Y/Y on an adjusted basis), with records in iPhone and Services—a backdrop that’s helped AAPL reclaim highs into the holiday quarter. ^[6]

By the numbers (today)

Last: $270.11
Open: $268.59
Day range: $266.94–$271.33
Notable context: Apple recently flirted with a $4T market value amid iPhone 17 momentum; today’s tape reflects a tug‑of‑war between stronger product/Services trends and macro AI‑valuation angst. ^[7]

Why this matters for investors

Feature velocity vs. vertical integration: If Apple leans on Gemini to accelerate Siri, it may pull forward user‑visible AI features without waiting for its own frontier‑scale model to mature—potentially supporting iPhone upgrade intent into 2026. Investors will watch how Apple balances licensing costs with Services monetization and on‑device performance. ^[8]
Hardware pipeline breadth: Reports of a budget Mac expand the lower‑price hardware funnel, which historically feeds Services growth and stickiness in Apple’s ecosystem. Execution and margins in that segment will be focal points. ^[9]
Macro sensitivity remains high: With tech heavyweights dictating index moves, factor‑level swings (rates, AI sentiment) can swamp single‑name catalysts on any given day—as seen in today’s mixed trading. ^[10]

What to watch next

Official word on Siri/Gemini: Any confirmation, timeline, or technical detail at upcoming developer or product briefings could alter AI adoption expectations for the iPhone base. ^[11]
Holiday quarter datapoints: Supply‑chain reads and weekly smartphone trackers post‑earnings will indicate whether iPhone 17 demand remains durable into December. ^[12]
Follow‑through on the “budget Mac”: Pricing, silicon choice, and ship date will shape unit‑mix and gross‑margin scenarios for FY26. ^[13]

Duolingo: High Growth and Premium Margins Face AI-Driven Sentiment Pressure and Limited Upside
November 5, 2025, 9:22 PM EST. Duolingo shows high growth and premium margins, driven by expanding user engagement and monetization. However, AI-driven narratives risk tempering investor sentiment and could cap upside if near-term profits miss expectations. The thesis highlights durable demand for language learning, pricing power in the freemium-to-premium funnel, and ongoing expansion of subscription offerings. Yet AI advancements may intensify competition and enable disruptive substitutes, testing margins and growth durability. The takeaway is a balanced view: solid fundamentals support a compelling growth story, but investors should watch AI-enabled product differentiation, ARPU trends, churn, and valuation sensitivity to AI headlines that could influence sentiment and future multiples.

Qualcomm beats on earnings and revenue as AI push accelerates
November 5, 2025, 9:13 PM EST. Qualcomm beat Q4 estimates on both earnings and revenue, reporting adjusted EPS of $3.00 and revenue of $11.27 billion, above estimates of $2.88 and $10.79B. Revenue rose 10% year over year, though net income swung to a $3.12 billion loss due to an income tax expense. For fiscal Q1, Qualcomm guided revenue of $11.8-$12.6 billion (midpoint $12.2B) and adjusted EPS of $3.30-$3.50, roughly in line with consensus. The company is pushing beyond smartphones into AI accelerators like AI200 and AI250, targeting data-center servers; it aims to diversify away from Apple as a modem customer toward Windows PCs, AR/VR, and IoT. Qualcomm shares have risen this year but underperformed Nvidia and AMD amid stiff AI competition.
