John Ternus<\/a> had barely taken the reins at Apple before Wall Street had something to say about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On his first day as CEO, Apple\u2019s stock jumped almost<\/em> 3-percent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a pretty extraordinary welcome for the man taking over the world\u2019s most valuable technology company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then there was Ternus himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His contribution to the day\u2019s headlines? A single post on X:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201chello\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not suggesting for a moment those two things are connected. One tweet from a CEO doesn\u2019t suddenly move a company the size of Apple by itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the timing is certainly fun<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After 15 years of Tim Cook<\/a>, investors were getting their first real look at the market\u2019s reaction to the beginning of the Ternus era<\/strong> \u2014 and the reaction was positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple\u2019s new CEO didn\u2019t arrive with a grand declaration about the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He simply showed up<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Apple\u2019s stock went up<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a company that can turn almost anything into a major event, it\u2019s a wonderfully appropriate beginning to a new chapter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now comes the interesting part:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can he keep the momentum going?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
