Main AI Stock Market Movers

Ticker: AAPL | Price: $229.98 | Market Cap: $3.46T | Weekly Loss: 2.90% ⬇️

Apple’s losing streak persisted this week as the stock continued to decline. Selling pressure mounted after reports of the EU scrutinising Apple’s compliance with digital market regulations and ensuring fair competition. Additionally, Canalys data revealed that Vivo and Huawei overtook Apple as China’s top smartphone sellers in 2024. These developments have weighed heavily on Apple’s share price to start the year.

Ticker: NVDA | Price: $137.71 | Market Cap: $3.37T | Weekly Gain: 1.28% ⬆️

Nvidia rebounded this week and showed persistence, after Barclays analysts raised their price target to $175. However, the company is facing challenges due to new semiconductor export restrictions targeting China, which could impact nearly half of Nvidia’s market. Government regulations are starting to become a big factor in the semi-conductor space, with data centres and AI being a pivotal topic of discussion.

Ticker: MSFT | Price: $429.03 | Market Cap: $3.19T | Weekly Gain: 2.87% ⬆️

Microsoft rebounded impressively from the previous consolidation range. The stock moved from $410 to around $430 this week as investors continued to bet on the tech industry overall, thanks to the Y/Y inflation data looking promising. Microsoft's windows operating system continues to dominate the PC market which is a strong revenue driver. Microsoft has an average rating of buy and mean price target of $510.33, according to analysts polled by FactSet. This leaves significant upside on the table
