Any thoughts on the AAPL earnings call on April 30, 2026?

    Tim Cook steps down Sept 1, 2026 to be replaced by John Ternus a hardware engineering head.

    Under Tim Cook:

    • AAPL grew from $350B valuation to $4T.
    • Maintained supply chain
    • Increased margins
    • Monetized services

    But also under Tim Cook:

    • Apple Intelligence is a joke
    • No innovation, only cash cow optimization

    Will John Ternus:

    • Keep the cash cow optimization?
    • Innovate in the flavor of Steve Jobs? (very unlikely, Jobs was 1 of 1)
    • Get on board with long-term AI strategy? (Apple is very late to the AI party)

    4% up after earnings or 4% down after earnings call?

    Personally, I hate to say it, I'm looking for an AI roadmap from Apple. Are they going to invest, partner, integrate with AI?

      Been investing in AAPL since the iPod days. My guess is they crush earnings but announce conservative guidance. Stock has had a pretty decent run up so my guess is it dumps.
