New product cycle lifts Apple.
Apple is accelerating its foldable phone production plans, telling suppliers to produce 10 million units this year (up from 7-8 million) and releasing at least five new models in the second half of this year and first half of next year, alongside camera-equipped AirPods in late 2027 and new custom chips, signaling a strong multi-year product pipeline.

Better outlook and new SUV.
Rivian raised its full-year sales outlook and began deliveries of a lower-cost SUV that is key to the company's path to profitability, with 2023 delivery guidance of 65,000-70,000 vehicles.
RIVN MED

Favorable CMS policy change.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services proposed revising payment policies for hospital outpatient departments and ambulatory surgical centers, including targeted drug cost reductions and site-of-care payment disparities, which is a favorable regulatory catalyst for hospital operators.
