What's Going On With Apple Stock?
Portfolio Pulse from Adam Eckert
Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock is trading lower due to two main factors. Firstly, Apple is set to withdraw its Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 in the US to comply with an ITC import ban stemming from a patent dispute with Masimo over the SpO2 sensor. Secondly, a Bloomberg report reveals an acceleration of China's iPhone ban across government and state firms, with employees being instructed to use local brands instead. Despite closing at an all-time high last week, Apple shares were down 1.46% at $194.68.
