Apple Resets Leadership To Accelerate AI
On Friday, Deepwater Asset Management analyst Gene Munster said Apple Inc.'s sweeping leadership shake-up is a strategic reset by CEO Tim Cook to accelerate the company's artificial-intelligence efforts, noting exits including CFO Luca Maestri, COO Jeff Williams and hires such as AI head Amar Subramanya from Microsoft. Munster said Apple's 1.3 billion-device ecosystem and fiscal Q4 results—$102.47 billion revenue and $1.85 EPS—give it runway to refine Apple Intelligence, and he expects shares to lead the Magnificent Seven into spring.
