Apple (AAPL) Trails the ‘Magnificent Seven’ — Let’s Look at Who Owns the Stock

Apple (AAPL) stock is down nearly 20% so far this year, making it the weakest of the “Magnificent Seven” tech stocks. While rivals like Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), Meta (META), Microsoft (MSFT), Nvidia (NVDA), and Tesla (TSLA) race ahead with AI, Apple has been slower to catch up. Even its Vision Pro headset and Apple Intelligence rollout haven’t sparked much excitement. However, the company is now planning one of the biggest software shake-ups in its history, with a full redesign and renaming of its operating systems across all devices. This includes the upcoming iOS 26, which could mark a new chapter. With that in mind, let’s look at who owns Apple using TipRanks’ Ownership tools.
