New research: Apple stock could be safe harbor from AI bubble fears

MacDailyNews

Feb 23

READ IN APP

Apple is taking a distinct path from many other tech stocks. The major risks tied to the AI boom appear largely irrelevant to the company. Bolstered by robust revenue growth reported in January and upcoming new product launches in March, Apple’s outlook remains promising and potentially very bright.

Ben Gran for The Motley Fool:
‎

New research from Bloomberg shows that Apple stock is becoming less correlated with the Nasdaq-100 index, reaching its lowest level of correlation since 2006. That means Apple’s performance is becoming less like that of other tech companies. If other tech stocks go down, Apple might go up — and could be a safer choice if you’re worried about a possible AI stock bubble or the recent AI-driven tech stock sell-off.
Investors have been driven by two conflicting narratives about tech stocks in the past few months. The first: Investors are concerned that major AI companies like Microsoft are over-investing in AI data centers and digital infrastructure. The second: Investors are selling software stocks in fear that AI will replace or disrupt most software as a service (SaaS) companies.
Apple seems to be avoiding this entire debate… Although the company faces a few AI-related risks, such as its struggles to create an effective new AI-powered Siri, Apple might be immune to the current AI stock volatility.
Instead of worrying about AI, Apple seems focused on its core business of selling products — and business is good… New products are in the pipeline, too.

‎
MacDailyNews Take: Yup.

As we wrote last month, “Apple and, indeed, the entire U.S. economy, are primed to roar in 2026!”
