Apple's Siri AI Was Finally Announced, So Why Is the Stock Tanking?

By Sam Quirke. Published: 6/9/2026.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) started the week with an almost perfect setup. Multiple quarters of solid results, a market steadily repricing the stock higher on AI optimism, and bullish expectations for what would be announced at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), which is running June 8-12, all pointed to a strong showing.

The stock started well, too, briefly hitting a fresh all-time intraday high of $317 on June 8 after Apple announced its new Siri AI. For a moment, it looked like a fitting reward for investors who had held through a turbulent start to the year and backed the thesis that Apple's ecosystem advantage would eventually translate into AI relevance.

However, almost immediately, the stock started giving up those gains.

The obvious question is whether the market got this one right or badly wrong. A company announces a long-awaited, genuinely significant AI product upgrade, and the stock falls nearly 2% in response. That's the kind of reaction that either reflects sharp-eyed investors correctly identifying a disappointment or an overreaction that opens the door to a buying opportunity.

While the initial optics aren’t great and support the former, there are reasons to think the latter will eventually play out.

What Apple Actually Announced

The Siri AI reveal at WWDC was genuinely eye-opening, even if the stock’s overall reaction on the day didn't reflect that. The new Siri is more capable and more conversational than anything Apple has offered before and, in the company’s own words, is “a profoundly more capable and personal assistant.”

It can handle complex multi-step requests, pull in on-device context like messages and photos, work with Visual Intelligence to understand the physical world through the camera, and maintain conversations seamlessly across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch.

With Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) recently announcing its own AI update for Alexa, Apple responded with a noteworthy update to its own voice assistant. At first glance, it looked like a milestone, but then the stock began to fall.

Why Apple Stock Sold Off

In terms of why sentiment swung so hard against the stock, it looks like the market saw the Siri AI update as confirmation that Apple is still closing the AI gap rather than having definitively closed it.

For context, Siri AI won't launch until later this year, and even then, it will only be a beta launch in English in the United States. Other languages and regions, including key markets like the EU and China, will follow only after further regulatory engagement.

That timeline isn’t exactly aggressive for a company that first promised a more personalized Siri at WWDC 2024. The fact that Apple will also have to pay Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ: GOOGL) billions of dollars over the coming years to help power Siri through Google’s Gemini model didn’t help, as it only served to underscore that Apple still lacks a fully independent AI model of its own.

For investors who had been pricing in a more decisive leap forward, the reveal felt more like confirmation of continued progress than a step-change moment. In a market where AI announcements are being judged against a bar that’s continually raised by OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Anthropic’s Claude, simply being a bit more capable and conversational clearly isn’t enough to get investors excited.

Why the Selloff May Be a Mistake

However, there’s a chance that is just short-term thinking, because even while the stock was falling, Evercore and Sanford Bernstein both reiterated their Outperform ratings. These followed similarly bullish moves from Wedbush, Citigroup, and Morgan Stanley earlier this month.

Wedbush's fresh $400 price target is particularly hard to dismiss, as it implies there is nearly 30% additional upside from current levels.

The bull case doesn’t actually depend on Siri being the best AI assistant in the market right now. It depends on Apple owning the trusted endpoint through which hundreds of millions of users will eventually interact with AI, regardless of which underlying model powers it.

The installed base of active devices, the control over identity, payments, and app access, and the deepening ecosystem stickiness that Siri AI will accelerate over time are the arguments that justify a premium multiple, and the June 10 announcement undermined none of them.

In fact, the Gemini partnership and the on-device model improvements arguably reinforce the platform argument rather than weaken it.

In that context, the selloff looks like a classic case of the market reacting to what was announced rather than what it means. For investors with a time horizon beyond the next few weeks, this dip may be a serious buying opportunity.

I wanted to get this to you FAST before SpaceX IPOs.

After June 12, most retail investors will be locked out of the real big opportunity.

The banks, funds, and insiders already got in early - before anyone else even had the chance to.

However, there are 5 little known, almost overlooked companies providing the critical infrastructure SpaceX needs.

Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are already secretly loading up on one of these names.

And another is a resource miner that Elon's entire empire (including Tesla) depends on.

No trading guarantees, of course…

But I've detailed all these names (plus a lot more) inside my FREE SpaceX Investing Blackbook.

It's completely FREE today...

So grab it before these names become public knowledge.

Till the next trade,

Is Lennar Finally Turning the Corner After Its Housing Slump?

Author: Leo Miller. Article Published: 6/16/2026.

Homebuilding stocks have been stuck in a rut for quite some time. The SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (NYSEARCA: XHB) is a commonly used proxy for the industry's performance. The fund has significantly underperformed the broader market, with returns of 10% in 2024, -0.7% in 2025, and a single-digit gain in 2026. Low housing affordability, driven in part by elevated interest rates, has led to sharply declining revenues and earnings across the industry.

Investors just got their latest look at the state of the housing market. Lennar (NYSE: LEN), one of the country’s top homebuilders and a Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.B)portfolio company, recently reported earnings. Lennar’s report was decidedly mixed, but several key metrics showed signs of improvement. It’s possible the worst is over for Lennar, but homebuilders generally continue to face a difficult macro backdrop.

Lennar’s Mixed Report: Sales Miss, EPS Beat, Delivery Guidance Down

In its fiscal Q2 2026, Lennar reported revenue of $7.94 billion, representing a year-over-year (YOY) decline of 5.2%. (Note that Lennar’s fiscal reporting period is slightly ahead of the standard reporting period used by many firms.) The figure missed Wall Street estimates, which called for sales of $8.08 billion.

Still, the 5.2% decline marks a substantial improvement from the prior quarter, when sales tanked 13.3% YOY. That quarter was Lennar’s weakest sales growth since the aftermath of the Great Financial Crisis. This underscores the severity of Lennar's sluggish growth over recent quarters. In that context, it is encouraging to see growth moving closer to 0%, despite the sales miss.

Another silver lining is that Lennar beat estimates on earnings per share (EPS). The figure came in at $1.31, down nearly 28% YOY, but above the expected $1.24. On the other hand, Lennar reduced its outlook for full-year home deliveries. The company now expects to deliver 82,500 homes at the midpoint, down 2.9% from prior expectations of 85,000 deliveries. Illustrating the difficult economic environment Lennar is operating in, the company attributed this decrease to “current pressure on interest rates and geopolitical uncertainty.”

Lennar Makes Solid Progress on Gross Margin and Incentives

Under the surface, one encouraging development was the improvement in Lennar’s gross margin. Like sales growth, gross margin improved from a multi-year trough seen last quarter, rising sequentially from 15.2% to 15.6%. This was helped in part by the firm offering fewer incentives to homebuyers. Its sales incentive rate declined to 12.9%, compared to 14.1% last quarter. That was likely a key reason revenue came in below expectations while earnings beat estimates. Fewer incentives can reduce sales volume, but they also improve profitability.

Critically, Lennar noted, “After three years of incentive levels that have been generally increasing, we're starting to see the first real and potentially sustainable decline.” This suggests underlying demand may be improving enough for Lennar to reduce incentives and still attract buyers.

Nonetheless, the company remains cautious, calling this reversal “potentially sustainable” and lowering its delivery outlook. Still, Lennar is forecasting another improvement in gross margin next quarter, guiding for 16%. It also said, “we expect sequential margin improvement quarter-to-quarter as the year progresses," indicating further gains ahead.

At the midpoint, the firm is guiding for EPS of $1.30 next quarter, leaving the figure essentially flat versus its latest report.

Lennar: Rate Headwinds Cast a Cloud Over Sustained Recovery Hopes

Shares fell 4.9% the day after Lennar’s report, indicating that despite some underlying improvements, management’s cautious stance did not reassure investors. Notably, 30-year fixed mortgage rates now sit near 6.5%, their highest level since September 2025. This is likely one of the key factors Lennar referenced when lowering its delivery outlook. During the company’s prior report, rates were significantly lower, near 6.1%. This recent increase adds more pressure to affordability in an already depressed market.

Adding insult to injury, Evercore, Royal Bank of Canada, and Bank of America all issued Underperform ratings on Lennar after its report. The highest updated target among them is $87, which implies downside from current shares and is well below the MarketBeat consensus price target of about $95.

Taking all this into account, it's difficult to be overly optimistic about Lennar’s outlook at this point. Gross margin and incentives will be important to watch going forward, with increases in the former and decreases in the latter serving as positive signals. Management taking a more confident stance on the sustainability of incentive reductions would also help change the narrative around Lennar stock.
