Apple Stock Could Explode After New AI Chip Launch and iPhone 17 “Supercycle,” Analysts Say

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]

Rivian Valuation Under Scrutiny: Do Partnership News and DCF Signals Align with True Worth?
November 5, 2025, 6:14 PM EST. Rivian's stock has swung on partnership news and strategy shifts as investors weigh its true value. While the shares rose about 18% over the past year and slipped 8% recent month, valuation remains cautious: a recent check assigns Rivian just 1/6 on undervaluation. The piece walks through a DCF view showing negative free cash flow today but a target intrinsic value around $14.94, implying undervaluation of roughly 16%. It also hints at a P/S perspective since the company is not yet profitable, plus discussions of production targets and strategic partnerships that might unlock upside or add risk. In short: the market is pricing in growth while discounting the path to profitability; investors should study the underlying assumptions and risks.
Tariffs face an uncertain future after Supreme Court hearing: potential market impacts
November 5, 2025, 6:12 PM EST. Markets are bracing for a Supreme Court decision that could reshape tariff policy and ripple through inflation, rates, and the dollar. The hearing on whether the White House can use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs leaves a wide range of outcomes: a full reversal with refunds, preserved tariffs, or a middle ground. If tariffs are struck down, some sectors could benefit; if upheld, protected industries like steel and aluminum may win. Traders assign low odds to upholding duties (about 26% on Polymarket). A ruling could affect near-term growth, Fed policy and currency moves, depending on the administration's next steps. The U.S. collected about $195 billion in customs duties in fiscal 2025, with potential refunds near $100 billion under consideration.
Ripple, Mastercard, WebBank and Gemini Test RLUSD Stablecoin Settlements on the XRP Ledger
November 5, 2025, 6:10 PM EST. The collaboration aims to use RLUSD, Ripple's US dollar-backed stablecoin, on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) to settle Gemini Credit Card transactions between Mastercard and WebBank. The test would process payments using RLUSD as a bridge currency, potentially making this one of the first regulated U.S. bank settlements with a regulated stablecoin on a public chain. RLUSD has a market cap above $1B, with roughly 80% on Ethereum and 20% on XRPL, whose TVL surpasses $77.7M. Mastercard notes the effort aligns with consumer protections and regulatory compliance while exploring future use cases for stablecoins. Next steps include onboarding RLUSD on XRPL in coming months, subject to regulatory approval. The news follows Ripple's $500M funding round led by Fortress/Citadel, underscoring momentum in the space.
Blend Labs (BLND) at $3.17: Is It an Undervalued Buy Despite a High Beta?
November 5, 2025, 6:08 PM EST. Blend Labs, Inc. (NYSE:BLND) has jumped more than 10% in recent weeks, but the stock remains undervalued versus its intrinsic value of about $4.02 per share. A high beta means price moves tend to exaggerate market swings, offering risk and potential opportunity for patient traders. The latest projections point to 36% earnings growth next year and stronger cash flow, which could support a higher valuation if the rally continues. Yet investors should weigh balance-sheet strength and two risk warnings flagged in the analysis. With the stock trading near $3.17, some analysts suggest it could still offer upside potential if fundamentals materialize and sentiment remains constructive. As always, perform due diligence before committing to a position.
Bitcoin dips below $100K as traders brace for possible bear leg and macro headwinds
November 5, 2025, 6:06 PM EST. Bitcoin slid under $100,000 for a second time on Tuesday, stoking what Coin Bureau's Nic Puckrin calls an almost biblical level of dread, as total crypto liquidations hit about $1.6 billion in 24 hours. The market's pulse was further reflected in CoinMarketCap's Fear and Greed Index, now near extreme fear. Analysts point to a mix of ETF outflows, impaired flows and technical pressure, with Bitcoin trading below its 200-day moving average and traders watching the crucial 365-day MA as a potential line in the sand. Risks include macro shocks and treasuries concerns, while some observers see the sell-off as a temporary pause. Puckrin maintains a longer-term cap around $150,000, expecting volatility to fade into a recovery as liquidity and rate cuts arrive.
