1. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 158

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is a technology company that has strengthened its mark in the AI realm with the launch of Apple Intelligence, its personal intelligence system. On December 5th, TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said in a Medium post that Apple has delayed the mass production of a smart home-focused, display-equipped HomePod until after WWDC 2025 or 3Q25. The delay, mainly stemming from software development, is anticipated to feature an A18 processor, a 6-7 inch display, and support for Apple Intelligence, Kuo said. He further added that is expected to ship around 500,000 units in 2H25. Given that the market response is positive, the product’s annual shipments could reach the million-unit level.
