Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Tariff refunds easing cost pressures can lift earnings and margins; for Apple, even small uplift in margins or EPS can support a higher multiple during an earnings season, especially if refunds are material. Historical examples include earlier tariff reliefs boosting reported earnings for diversified U.S. manufacturers, reducing volatility around gross margins.
