On Friday, Apple's stock performance was lackluster, with its price dipping by 1.1% at one juncture. This marks eight straight days of decline, putting it on the verge of matching its longest losing streak in more than thirty years. Since 1991, Apple's shares have never suffered nine consecutive days of decline. There have been comparable losing streaks in the past, such as in 2025, 2022, 2016, and 1998. Lately, with a surge in demand for artificial - intelligence computing data center construction and soaring component prices, companies including Apple are under increased pressure. Since the onset of this downturn, the cumulative decline in Apple's stock price has surpassed 5%.
