NEUTRAL IMPACT
Apple has agreed to pay a $175,000 penalty and ensure AppleCare+ is offered by an authorized insurer in Québec, following an agreement with the AMF.
The financial penalty is relatively small for a company of Apple's size, and the commitment to regulatory compliance in Québec is unlikely to have a significant short-term impact on Apple's stock price.
