Sitting out the capex race is now the trade that works: the only Mag 7 name beating the index this year is holding back its cash flow from AI buildouts.

Last week's tech flush was the bait, according to this read, with the Nasdaq sitting on its trendline into a week stacked with job openings, unemployment data and four megacap tech earnings reports.

BofA's fiscal 2027 iPhone number now sits 13 million units below consensus, and the bank says the street is still underpricing what memory inflation does to Apple's margins.

BofA removes Apple $AAPL from its U.S. 1 List, cuts iPhone sales estimates & warns Wall St. is significantly underestimating the impact of rising memory prices on margins. “We lower our F27 iPhone est. by 9mn units to 247mn (vs. St at 260mn).” BofA estimates memory costs could
