Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is one of the 10 AI Stocks Making Waves on Wall Street. On July 30, Morgan Stanley reiterated the stock as “Overweight.”

According to the firm, One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) will offer a significant boost to free cash flow (FCF) across the IT hardware sector. It noted that Apple is one of the big beneficiaries of the Big Beautiful bill.

“We estimate the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) can add 12% upside to our IT Hardware coverage FCF in 2025, and 5%, on average, annually, to our coverage over the next 4 years,”

Through the bill, companies will be able to immediately deduct R&D and capital investment expenses from U.S. taxes. This will accelerate their tax savings and increase near-term cash flow.

“We estimate that over the next 4 years, the [One Big Beautiful Bill] will add a cumulative $20.3B of upside to our AAPL [free-cash flow] forecast, all else equal, which equates to an average annual FCF tailwind of 4%.”

The firm projects the legislation will generate more than $12 billion in incremental cash flow for covered names over the next year, as well as $20 billion cumulatively over four years.

“This benefit is mostly about timing, as it pulls forward future tax savings rather than changing the long-term cash flow picture,” the analysts said.

Apple is a technology company known for its consumer electronics, software, and services.
