Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) CEO Tim Cook just passed his successor an absolute mess. Cook steps down on Sept. 1 from his role as CEO but will remain on the board. In his place, John Ternus will ****** ume the role of CEO. However, the situation Ternus is taking over isn't a pretty one.
What's going on with Apple that caused this problem? Rising commodity prices.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
During Cook's last earnings call, he stated that rising memory chip prices are undergoing a "100-year flood." Essentially, ****** ody could have seen this coming, and the effects could be disastrous. He noted that Apple already had to raise prices on some products, but it may not be able to stop at just a few product lines. If prices continue to rise, it could force Apple to raise prices again, alienating some of its consumer base, which is already stretched thin.
However, Cook noted that it is decreasing costs on other components that help offset rising memory chip prices. We'll see how this pans out, but if prices continue to rise, it could get ugly for Apple and cause John Ternus to deal with a crisis just a few months into the job.

SKYRIZI supplies close to a third of guided company revenue, which puts an unusual amount of AbbVie's future behind one patent estate.
AbbVie (ABBV) has guided total 2026 revenue to roughly $67.6 billion. About $21.7 billion of that, close to one-third, is expected to come from a single medicine, SKYRIZI. That share is the number a holder should sit with before anything else in this story.
The quarterly picture has the same shape. SKYRIZI sold $5.5 billion in the second quarter of 2026, up 24% operationally, against total net revenues of nearly $17 billion, and the next largest product AbbVie broke out, RINVOQ, sold more than $2.5 billion. Immunology as a whole brought in nearly $8.8 billion, more than half the company, on 14.6% operational growth. What makes that concentration matter is what sits beside it: oncology revenue of more than $1.6 billion fell 2.4% operationally in the same three months, and aesthetics, at nearly $1.3 billion, slipped 0.9%. Neuroscience did grow, at more than $3.2 billion and roughly 20%. So the growth you are paying for sits in immunology and neuroscience, and inside the bigger of the two it leans mostly on one molecule.
AbbVie does not have to imagine what biosimilar entry does to a large immunology franchise, because it is happening on its own income statement right now. HUMIRA sold $756 million in the second quarter of 2026, down 36% operationally, which the company puts down to biosimilar competition. A franchise shedding better than a third of its sales year over year is the shape of the risk, not its timing, because the two products sit on very different clocks.
SKYRIZI's clock is public and much further out. The company says the US composition-of-matter patent expires in 2033, that later-expiring patents embodying the product are granted or in process and run into the mid twenty-thirties and later, that regulatory data protection does not lapse until 2031, and that it does not expect biosimilar applications before the end of the decade. That is a long runway by any standard. It is also why the question keeps coming back, because close to a third of today's guided revenue eventually sits behind that later intellectual property rather than behind the original patent.

As energy demand from artificial intelligence surges, investors are weighing the merits of fuel cells versus next-generation nuclear. Choosing between Bloom Energy (NYSE:BE) and Oklo (NYSE:OKLO) requires balancing established revenue against futuristic potential.
Bloom Energy provides solid-oxide fuel cell technology for reliable on-site power, catering to data centers and industrial clients. Oklo is a pre-revenue developer of small modular reactors aiming to revolutionize carbon-free energy. Both companies target the massive power needs of the modern economy, yet they sit at very different stages of commercial maturity.
Bloom Energy sells solid-oxide energy servers providing onsite electricity and hydrogen to customers like SK ecoplant and American Electric Power (NASDAQ:AEP). Customer concentration like this adds a layer of risk to the business since revenue depends heavily on major partnerships. Recently, the company secured a $1.7 billion project with Nebius (NASDAQ:NBIS) and a financing framework with Brookfield ****** et Management (NYSE:BAM).
In FY 2025, revenue reached nearly $2.0 billion, representing growth of approximately 37.3%. This expansion was driven by increasing demand for onsite generation in the electric utility stocks ****** e. Despite the top-line growth, the company reported a net loss of roughly $88.4 million, representing a net margin of negative 4.4%.
As of its December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio was approximately 3.9x. This ratio measures total debt relative to shareholder equity, suggesting the company uses a significant amount of borrowed money. The current ratio is a healthy 6.0x, while free cash flow, or cash left after capital expenditures, reached roughly $57.2 million.

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has long been one of the most valuable companies in the world. But the iPhone maker saw its shares underperform many of the biggest artificial intelligence (AI) stocks over the last few years, ultimately leading it to lose its throne as the top company by market cap to Microsoft in May 2025, before Nvidia surpassed both companies in June 2025.
It's been over a year since Apple was the most valuable company in the world, the longest streak since it first climbed to that position in 2011.

But investors have been piling into its stock recently, pushing the market cap to about $4.9 trillion and making it, once again, the most valuable company in the world. Here's why the stock keeps climbing and why it can continue higher from here.
While some of the world's largest companies build out extensive AI infrastructure, Apple has remained a relatively ***** et-light business. Its capital expenditures (capex) for the past 12 months have totaled $11 billion. By comparison, Microsoft is spending about $200 billion this year, as are Alphabet and Amazon.

The number of wealthy non-dom taxpayers shrank by 1,200 last year amid warnings that Labour's tax rises could push even more rich people offshore.
New figures from HMRC reveal that 9,000 non-doms – foreign investors living in Britain – left the country or changed their tax status in the financial year ending April 2025.
Meanwhile, the number of non-doms arriving in the country dropped 14pc to 8,600. A further 800 "deemed-domicile" taxpayers – former non-doms who have since become British tax residents – also quit the UK, for an overall net reduction of 1,200.
Leslie MacLeod-Miller, the chief executive of Foreign Investors for Britain, a pressure group, warned that government inaction could push more investors and entrepreneurs to leave, reducing their £13.6bn annual tax contribution to the public finances.
"Britain is losing internationally mobile wealth at an accelerating pace," he said. "The exodus of wealth will only get worse if the Government does not introduce a competitive tax regime to restore Britain's place in the world."

Qu, the intelligent commerce platform for enterprise QSR and fast-casual restaurant brands, announced Qu Pay, an embedded, end-to-end payments solution. A first-of-its-kind innovation, Qu Pay combines four systems: payment processing, guest identity, order intelligence, and capital access into a single layer of the unified platform.
Until now, payments lived outside the core restaurant operating system—treated as a cost center, not an intelligence hub. Qu Pay ends that separation. Every transaction becomes data brands can use to better understand and serve their guests. Qu Pay serves enterprise brands across point-of-sale, kiosks, drive-thru, web, and mobile channels. The platform is already live with multiple brands, including Roy Rogers.
"I've spent my career watching operators treat payments as a necessary evil instead of a value-added capability," said Rachid Hassan, Vice President of Payments at Qu. "We built Qu Pay because operators shouldn't have to choose between running their business and understanding it. Now every transaction feeds both."

Bitcoin's latest slide has revived a question that has been sitting beneath the surface of the market for months: How much of Bitcoin's support is actually Bitcoin demand — and how much of it is tied to Strategy's ability to keep buying?
For Mike Green, chief strategist at Simplify ***** et Management, the answer remains one of the biggest unresolved risks in crypto.
Green has been warning that Michael Saylor's plans to issue debt to acquire more Bitcoing at Strategy is not simply a bullish corporate treasury bet. In his view, it is levered exposure to a highly volatile ***** et that only works as long as Bitcoin keeps rising, but becomes increasingly fragile when the price moves the other way. And with Bitcoin moving closer to $60,000 after trading near $75,000 when Green last joined Coinage, he says the underlying risk has not gone away.
"Nothing has changed," Green told Coinage this week. "He has still adopted an extraordinary levered exposure. He will always need to sell Bitcoin in order to obtain liquidity. Unless Bitcoin rises enough that he can increase his borrowing capacity against it."
That is the problem Green has been trying to highlight. Strategy's Bitcoin position is often treated by the market as a simple accumulation story: Michael Saylor buys Bitcoin, Strategy raises capital, the company buys more Bitcoin, and the cycle reinforces itself as long as the price goes up. But Green argues that the same structure can become dangerous in reverse.

According to a study conducted by Hartford Funds, companies that consistently increase their dividend payouts outperform those that do not and experience less volatility over time. If this sounds appealing to you, here's an industrial dividend stock to buy and hold for the long haul.
