Apple Falls on Trump Tariff Vow, Intuit Soars, Deckers Drops

On this episode of Stock Movers: 

- Apple (AAPL) shares are lower as the iPhone maker faces escalating pressure from President Donald Trump to do what many analysts insist would be nearly impossible: move production of its iconic iPhone to the US from overseas. Trump on Friday threatened Apple with a tariff of at least 25% if it doesn’t manufacture its flagship product line in the US, his starkest demand yet for the tech giant to commit to more domestic assembly. The warning came days after a Tuesday meeting between the president and Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook at the White House, a US official said. “I have long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that I expect their iPhone’s that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India, or anyplace else,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Friday. “If that is not the case, a Tariff of at least 25% must be paid by Apple to the U.S.”

- Intuit (INTU) ripped higher on after the company posted strong revenue growth following the end of the US tax season, suggesting the financial software company is finding success offering users more expensive services. Fiscal third-quarter revenue increased 15% to $7.8 billion, the company said Thursday in a statement. Analysts, on average, estimated $7.6 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The period that ended April 30 — including tax season — is the most critical for the maker of TurboTax and other finance software. Profit, excluding some items, was $11.65 a share, compared with analysts’ average projection of $10.96.

- Deckers Outdoor (DECK) shares tumbled as much as 24%, the most intraday since March 2020, after the owner of Hoka running shoes and Ugg boots provided a disappointing fiscal first-quarter forecast. The company also declined to provide full-year guidance due to the current macro uncertainty.
