Apple Stock Could Explode After New AI Chip Launch and iPhone 17 “Supercycle,” Analysts Say
Apple’s stock is trading near record levels as of mid-October 2025. Last week (Oct. 13–17), AAPL shares oscillated in the $247–$252 range, closing at $252.29 on Oct. 17 historicalstockprice.com. That is only a few dollars below the all-time intraday high (~$260) set in late September ts2.tech historicalstockprice.com. Technically, AAPL is above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages ts2.tech, signaling positive momentum. However, the stock’s 2025 performance has been muted: it is up only about 1–2% on the year ts2.tech.
