Apple shares gain after earnings driven by strong iPhone sales 📈

Apple (AAPL.US), the third-largest company in the U.S., reported its Q4 2025 results today. The stock rose modestly after the release — by just under 2%. Both revenue and earnings per share beat Wall Street expectations. The biggest surprise by far was the strength of iPhone sales in China and, more broadly, the very strong growth in iPhone revenue overall. Notably, Apple’s China sales had been weak over the past three years, making the current rebound an outright surprise for analysts. Outside of Apple’s report, Visa (V.US) also released results, with its shares down about 1.5%, while storage and data media maker SanDisk (SNDK.US) is up nearly 14%.
