Is Apple the Ultimate Stock to Buy Right Now?
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has quietly been one of the better-performing stocks of 2026. It has risen about 25% so far in 2026, easily crushing the S&P 500‘s (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) 14% rise. But the question is: Is it still a good stock to buy compared to other big tech names?

The company is taking a very measured approach to AI, and in true Apple style, it’s once again a late arrival to the party.
