Apple shares hold steady as buyback talk meets AI chip strain
Apple Inc. starts Monday trading facing another hurdle for investors—seeing if its buyback will still help earnings per share as memory costs shift from a supply side problem to one coming out of Washington. Volume tells the story this time. Apple traded at five times its 65-day average turnover on Friday, though the shares had already bounced off a $274.21 low. The stock is still down 4.45% for the week and 7.36% in a month. The recovery hasn’t undone that earlier drop.
