Apple Inc.Apple is set to report fiscal third-quarter earnings on July 30, with analysts expecting earnings per share of $1.88 on sales of $108.8 billion. CEO Tim Cook said last month that Apple plans price hikes on some devices to offset rising semiconductor memory costs, making any positive commentary on consumer demand a potential catalyst for the stock. Investors will watch for iPhone demand trends amid speculation of a decline due to higher hardware costs, as well as performance of the wearables segment, which saw global shipments rise 4.3% year over year in the first quarter and was bolstered by the March debut of AirPods Max 2 priced at $549. Strong consumer engagement despite price increases could drive a rally in Apple shares.
