$Apple(AAPL)$ New phones should give Apple a lift on both growth and margins. New servers could do the same. I'm honestly surprised Apple isn't already at 400. This is gold.
QUTXWe're still incredibly early here. I had 18 million at .0010 and picked up more at .0014. I think this one can reach .0025 organically, even without any news.

Apple opened a new advanced manufacturing center in Houston, with CEO Tim Cook and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick present. The facility is already producing AI servers and plans to start manufacturing Mac Mini computers later this year. Apple put hundreds of millions of dollars into the site, which will also provide manufacturing training and education for local businesses. The Houston site is part of Apple's broader push to expand U.S. manufacturing. Cook mentioned that Apple sourced more than 20 billion U.S.-made chips last year, including 100 million chips from TSMC's Arizona facility.
