Apple Soars on Smooth Leadership Transition
Apple's stock price has been rising sharply today, with a gain of 2.6% in morning trading.
This comes after the company completed its first CEO transition since 2011, with John Ternus taking over from Tim Cook.
Ternus is a 25-year Apple veteran who led the hardware engineering teams behind key products like the iPhone, Mac, and iPad.
The leadership change has been seen as an orderly succession rather than a disruptive departure, which has boosted investor confidence in the company's near-term trajectory.
