As of today’s pre-market session, AAPL stock futures trade higher alongside other FAANG components. Positive risk sentiment in equity futures suggests traders are positioning ahead of next week’s tech earnings. The Zacks Value Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which pays close attention to both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics to grade stocks from A to F (an A is better than a B; a B is better than a C; and so on), is pretty helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued. US nonfarm payrolls for the 12 months ended March 2025 were slashed by 911,000 jobs, according to preliminary revisions released Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Economists had predicted a downward shift of 682,000 jobs for the period, according to analysts tracked by Bloomberg data. AAPL stock futures maintain a mild uptick amid sector-wide gains. Analysts cite continued resilience in Apple’s profit margins, hinting that futures might see a stronger rally if inflation data comes in softer.
