Apple’s Q4 2025 Results: Record Gains and Bold Tech Moves
Apple Inc. (AAPL) had a great fourth quarter of 2025, making $102.5 billion in sales (an 8% increase from the previous year) and $1.85 per share in earnings (a 13% increase from the previous year). Strong demand for the new iPhone 17 lineup, strong holiday sales forecasts, and the launch of new AI and silicon investments all helped the numbers look good.
Post-iPhone 17 Momentum and Market Reaction
After the release of the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and Pro Max, investors became more confident, and Apple's stock rose close to its all-time high of $277.32 in late October 2025. Early signs point to huge demand for the base and Pro models, which could lead to a 10–12% increase in revenue for the current quarter. This could be Apple's biggest holiday sales season ever.
Supply Chain Solutions and Resilience
Apple dealt with new trade tensions between the U.S. and China by speeding up the process of diversifying its supply chain. It moved production to India and Vietnam for better stability and made more promises to U.S. manufacturing. These strategic moves have calmed market worries and made Apple more resistant to policy changes and tariffs.
Apple is putting more money into artificial intelligence, with spending expected to reach $93 billion by 2025. The company is focusing on privacy-focused, on-device AI features that work with all of its hardware and services. The company is also putting $600 billion into making semiconductors in the U.S. this year, with the goal of making more than 19 billion chips in the U.S.
Apple TV is getting more involved in sports streaming and media through important partnerships, such as a five-year deal to be the only broadcast partner for Formula 1 in the US. This shows that Apple TV is still leading the way in content innovation.
