Apple’s (NASDAQ: AAPL) stock price has fallen 25% since peaking at around $260 at the end of 2024, marking a significant downturn in 2025 amidst wider market gains. Investors are concerned about tariffs, slowing revenue growth, and antitrust lawsuits that may threaten the smartphone maker’s future earnings.
Despite generating over $100 billion in revenue from iPhone sales in the last six months, Apple faces stagnating sales and prolonged upgrade cycles. The company’s recent hardware launch, the Vision Pro virtual reality headset priced at $3,500, has reportedly underperformed with less than 1 million units sold. Additionally, Apple’s services revenue, a crucial profit driver, is at risk due to antitrust lawsuits affecting the App Store and contractual agreements with Google that generate over $20 billion in profit annually.
The current price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio stands at approximately 30.5, which is high considering Apple’s stagnant net income since 2022 amidst growing tariffs and competitive pressures. Analysts caution against investing in Apple stock at this time, as its key products show signs of slowing growth and facing legal challenges.
