Apple Appoints John Ternus as New CEO on September 1
John Ternus is set to become the new CEO of Apple (AAPL) on September 1, succeeding Tim Cook after his 15-year tenure. Cook will remain involved as executive chairman to ensure a smooth transition. The leadership change comes ahead of Apple's product event scheduled for September 9, where it is expected to unveil its next generation of iPhones and possibly introduce the first foldable iPhone. Apple faces growing pressure to accelerate innovation in artificial intelligence while maintaining strong financial performance. In Q3 fiscal 2026, revenue rose by 16.4% year-over-year to $109.4 billion with EPS increasing to $2.02 from $1.57 a year ago. Despite recent gains, the stock is currently trading about 7% below its 52-week high of $344.57 and has delivered an 18% return in 2026. Investors are closely watching how Ternus will navigate Apple's next phase of growth amid supply chain challenges and evolving market expectations.
