Hedge funds interest in Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is driven by record-breaking financial performance and a hardware-led AI supercycle. In the Q2 2026 earnings report released last month, the firm posted a record revenue of $111.2 billion, up 17% year-over-year, alongside a 22% jump in diluted earnings per share to $2.01. Investors are focused on the resurgence of the iPhone, which generated $57 billion in quarterly revenue due to extraordinary demand for the iPhone 17 series, notably in the recovering Greater China and India markets. This hardware momentum is bolstered by the higher-margin Services segment, which hit an all-time high of $31 billion with 70%+ gross margins.
