Apple stock price has fallen for eight consecutive weeks, with the market focusing on Thursday's post-market earnings report.

Glonghui, January 29｜Apple's stock price is under pressure as investors try to assess the impact of rapidly rising memory chip prices on its earnings. Apple will release its financial report after the U.S. stock market closes on Thursday, at which point the market will get some initial clues. Since reaching a high on December 2, Apple's stock price has fallen by more than 10%, making it the worst performer among the seven major tech stocks and the biggest drag on the S&P 500 index during the same period. The stock has declined for eight consecutive weeks, the longest losing streak since 1993. This round of sell-off is at least partly due to market concerns that soaring memory chip costs will squeeze Apple's profit margins and earnings. This issue has even overshadowed the positive progress of its AI plans and is expected to become more prominent when supply contracts expire in the second half of 2026. Analyst Shaon Baki, who holds a large number of Apple shares, said, "We have seen Apple face pressure from memory chip prices before, but never at such an unprecedented rate of increase. There is obvious uncertainty in the market, with concerns that more bad news may emerge regarding memory chips."
