Apple's stock fell 5% on Wall Street on Thursday, shortly after the company announced another round of price increases across its MacBook and iPad lineup. The decline reflects investor reaction to the latest hike, which Apple attributes to the ongoing chip shortage, according to the N12 report.
Apple's stock tumbled 5% on Wall Street on Thursday, hours after the company announced a fresh round of price hikes on its MacBook and iPad product lines. The move follows an earlier increase in the same lineup — as The Zioneer reported earlier today — with the MacBook Pro rising from $1,699 to $1,999 and the iPad Pro from $999 to $1,199. The company has cited the global chip shortage for both rounds of hikes. The 5% single-day drop is the sharpest for Apple in several months, signaling growing investor concern over the demand impact of aggressive pricing amid persistent supply constraints. No additional details on the scope of the new price increases were available in the initial report.
