EXC

Exelon Inc.'s (NASDAQ:EXC) stock price is currently at $37.24, after a 0.51% increase. However, the stock fell by 7.10% over the past month, and by 1.93% over the past year. The company's P/E ratio is lower than the aggregate P/E of 21.53 of the Electric Utilities industry, which could indicate that the stock is undervalued. However, a lower P/E can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth.

AAPL

Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) executives, including CEO Tim Cook, have sold shares totaling $134.58 million as part of a prearranged trading program. This comes after Apple's Q1 report in February showed earnings per share of $1.88, falling short of the projected $1.94, largely due to underperforming iPhone 14 sales. The recent launch of the iPhone 15 raises questions about the company’s performance expectations for the upcoming quarter.
