Apple Inc. (AAPL) Might Be The Largest Taxpayer In America, Says Jim Cramer

We recently published . Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) scored a major win yesterday after President Trump announced that the firm would be exempt from his latest set of semiconductor tariffs. Cramer has spent a lot of time discussing the firm recently, particularly in the context of its troubles with the Trump administration. He advised Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) to spend money in the US to woo Trump, and in these remarks, he discussed Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) first with CNBC's Megan Costello and then with co-hosts David Faber and Carl Quintanilla: 'Okay so Meghan, despite the fact that they produce 19 billion chips in the US, that they're opening 24 factories in the US in 12 different states, that they've probably been the most important if not the [inaudible] for TSMC, what do they need to do for the President to stop saying that those phones that are made in India must be made here? 'Let's say we saw some valuations this morning, OpenAI, ChatGPT, worth 500 billion. Perplexity we had worth 19 billion. Now so if Apple writes a check for what they made this month, for 25 billion, they get Perplexity and then we have a 250 dollar stock' While we acknowledge the potential of AAPL as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

Why Shares of Apple Are Surging Today

Key Points Earlier this week, Apple announced a $600 billion investment in the U.S. That seemed to lower tensions between the company and President Donald Trump. One Wall Street analyst views the event as positive and raised his price target on the stock. 10 stocks we like better than Apple › Shares of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) traded nearly 4.3% higher as of 2:35 p.m. ET today. Analysts are more optimistic that the company has squashed some of the tariff drama with President Donald Trump's administration. Investing $600 billion in America will pay off for shareholders Many large tech companies have been in the crosshairs of the Trump administration, which seeks to bring more manufacturing back to the U.S. Trump recently announced that he would slap a 100% tariff on semiconductor imports unless companies are building or investing in the U.S. Earlier this week, Apple, which is one of the hardest-hit large tech companies by tariffs, announced a $600 billion U.S. investment. While it sounds costly, it's the better alternative to higher tariffs, Melius Research analyst Ben Reitzes wrote in a note today. Reitzes also reiterated a buy rating on the stock and raised his price target by $20 to $260. "It relieves Apple from paying incremental tariffs on U.S.-bound iPhones from India," Reitzes said, adding that a stronger iPhone production cycle could begin in the fall. "We are going to take a risk here and raise our target and our numbers, taking out a huge portion of our tariff hits." One problem potentially solved Apple's stock has struggled this year because of how much of the company's production is abroad in China, India, and Vietnam. Even after the big run this week, shares are still down about 5.5% on the year. The company has also struggled to convince investors that it has a strong road map in place for artificial intelligence. While that challenge remains, removing some of the tariff overhang is certainly a big step in the right direction and allows the company to focus more on its core business.
