Apple Stock (AAPL) is down 5% to launch 2025, unlike strong performance in 2025.

AAPL stocks remain on the hind legs in 2025 as a result of this poor market.
Cramer feels that ongoing tariff talks, including Apple, will continue to affect the entire stock market. “As someone who cares about the stock market, we can tell you that we are entering a new, more mercury world where we have to start worrying about the president’s public appearances because we don’t know which continent is about to attack next,” he said in a recent episode of Mad Money. Cramer also highlighted that the unpredictability of the tariff debate overshadowed other major economic concerns, including interest rates and bonds.

When I searched for some reason, for some reason, all I could come up with was one explanation: tariffs.”
