Here's How Much Traders Expect Apple Stock to Move After WWDC
Apple (AAPL) is holding its annual Worldwide Developers Conference next week, with a keynote address set for Monday at 1 p.m. ET, when the tech giant is expected to announce new features and software updates, with markets expecting a modest stock move following the event. Current options pricing suggests markets expect a move of about 3.5% in either direction by the end of the week. Based on Friday's closing price of $203.92, that would put Apple shares at about $210.99, at the high end, or $196.85 on the low end. Apple shares are about 19% below where they started the year, but have partially recovered from their steep losses in the days following President Trump's April 2 tariff announcement. They have traded sideways in recent weeks amid uncertainty about how tariffs will affect iPhone manufacturing and prices. Apple stock has had a mixed performance the week of its WWDC over the last three years. Last year, when it unveiled its Apple Intelligence suite of AI features, shares rose nearly 8% the week of the event. The year prior, when Apple debuted its Vision Pro headset, shares were flat, and in 2022 the stock fell roughly 5.6% as Apple announced new MacBook laptops and its iOS 16 operating system. Last month, Bloomberg reported that Apple is considering a major change to its software naming, and is likely to announce it during WWDC. The new system would make all its operating systems use the number 26, for 2026, for each year rather than different systems based on the version number like iOS 18 and macOS 15. Bloomberg also reported that Apple is expected to announce an opening of its internal AI models to outside developers, looking to boost the creation of new AI-powered apps. Analysts are largely bullish on the iPhone maker, with nine brokers tracked by Visible Alpha calling the stock a "buy," compared to two each rating it a "hold" or "sell." The average price target of about $228 implies nearly 12% upside to the stock's close Friday.

The head of Tesla's Optimus humanoid robot program leaves the company
Milan Kovac, who leads Tesla's Optimus humanoid robotics program, is leaving the automaker. In a post on X, Milan talked about how he joined Tesla as an engineer for the core Autopilot team in 2016 and how he started leading the Optimus group in 2022. He explained that he's leaving his position, because he's "been far away from home for too long and will need to spend more time with family abroad." Kovac stressed that it was the only reason he's leaving and that his support for Elon Musk and the Tesla team was "ironclad," perhaps insinuating that his decision had nothing to do with Musk's politics or recent fallout with the president. Tesla first announced that it was working on a humanoid robot in 2021, though it wasn't able to debut an actual prototype until a year a later in 2022. Musk said back then Optimus will be able to move at 5 mph and carry loads up to 45 pounds. He also said that he expects it to sell for $20,000 each when built at volume and claimed that the machines can give the company a $25 trillion market cap. Since then, Tesla has demonstrated Optimus' ability to handle an egg, cook meals, fold the laundry and throw the trash. The robot doesn't have a solid release date yet. Musk said back in April that the robot's production had been affected by China's export restrictions of rare earth magnets, so it's most likely not going to be anytime soon. Bloomberg , which reported Kovac's departure first, said he's leaving the company immediately. Ashok Elluswamy, who's leading the company's Autopilot group, is taking over his responsibilities.
