    US Top News and Analysis | Market indicator turns bullish for Apple just before earnings

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Apple is set to report its fiscal second‑quarter earnings, and options traders are showing overwhelming bullish sentiment: the RiskDex metric, which compares the cost of puts to calls, has fallen more than 50% in five weeks, indicating heavy buying of calls and little demand for puts. While the average post‑earnings move for Apple has been 2.2% over the past 12 quarters, the options market now expects a move of about 3.6%, reflecting concerns about higher oil prices, tariff risks on Chinese components, and the transition from Tim Cook to John Ternus, yet overall confidence remains high. Analysts suggest that investors who doubt the optimism could use a collar (selling a covered call and buying a protective put) to hedge downside at low cost, whereas those who trust the bullish outlook might consider a 275/285 call spread, offering a potential four‑to‑one payoff with defined risk. The message from the options market is clear: traders expect Apple’s stock to rise ahead of the earnings release.

                                    Meta’s shares slumped 9.2% on Thursday after the company’s quarterly report showed strong metrics but an upward revision of its investment forecast, a move the market penalized despite a broadly rising Wall Street, where the Dow was up 0.7% and the S&P 500 up 0.2% while the Nasdaq was flat. In contrast, Alphabet, the parent of Google, jumped 5.8% after posting earnings per share and revenue—especially from its cloud services—that beat expectations. The mixed reactions left the overall market modestly higher, and investors now await Apple’s earnings report later in the day.

                                              At a critical point in 1997 when Apple faced mounting losses, dwindling market share and a fragile outlook despite Steve Jobs’ return, Microsoft—led by Bill Gates—stepped in with a $150 million investment and a strategic agreement that included continued development of Microsoft Office for Mac, a default Internet Explorer browser on Macs, and a broad patent‑cross‑licensing deal. This move, driven by Microsoft’s desire to preserve a competitor and safeguard its Office business while easing antitrust concerns, restored confidence among developers and customers, gave Apple the financial breathing room needed to restructure, and set the stage for its turnaround with products such as the iMac, iPod and iPhone. The partnership exemplifies how calculated cooperation between rivals can reshape an industry, ultimately enabling Apple to evolve from a struggling computer maker into one of the world’s most valuable technology companies.
