Apple’s September quarter earnings were slightly down, but the outlook remains positive.

We talk to Milford Asset Management’s Daniel Wu about the tail and headwinds ahead, including Huawei challenging the iPhone in China. Plus Apple’s approach to AI, new products such as the Vision Pro, being carbon neutral by 2030, and are the shares overvalued?

Shared Lunch

Apple unwrapped—for fans and skeptics

SHARESIES · MARKET MOVEMENTS · 24 AUGUST 2026
Jacki Neumann, Head of Capital Markets at Sharesies

Note: Filmed Monday 24 August

↑ WHAT’S UP — The materials sector outperformed the broader ASX, rising 5.6%: BHP's underlying profit jumped 30%, with copper overtaking iron ore as its biggest earnings contributor for the first time, while Evolution Mining rallied over 16%. Healthcare climbed more than 9% driven by CSL and Cochlear, and the NZX 50 bucked the global trend to add 0.9%.

↓ WHAT'S DOWN

US stocks fell under the weight of bond yields, with the S&P 500 down 1.4% and the Nasdaq 2%. The ASX 200 slipped 0.6%, with local losses led by banks. NAB dropped 7.7% and the sector fell 5.5% after home loan applications slid 15%, while JB Hi-Fi lost over 10%.

! BIGGEST SURPRISES

Bond yields were the big story. The 30-year US Treasury yield pushed above 5.3% for the first time since 2007 and the 10-year near 4.7% as national debt topped US$40 trillion for the first time. The Treasury's expanded buybacks to ease the pressure didn’t hold, with yields retracing most of their decline by week's end.

◎ WHAT TO WATCH

New Fed Chair Kevin Warsh gives his first keynote on Thursday, while Nvidia's results land Wednesday and Australian reporting rolls on with Coles, Woolworths, Wesfarmers and Qantas. On the data front, RBA minutes are due Tuesday and Australian July CPI Wednesday, alongside key US inflation and GDP prints mid-week.

◈ BIGGER PICTURE

Attention is turning to climbing long-dated US yields, with fiscal concerns and sticky inflation pressuring equities even as the Treasury tries to intervene. Down under, reporting season shows a divergence on the ASX: a cooling housing market weighing on banks, while the miners and biotech CSL rise. With rising unemployment but consumers gaining confidence on the RBA's hold, Australia sends mixed signals heading into a pivotal week.

Debt is everywhere, from mortgages to paying for lunch. But when is it useful, and when does it become a problem?

In this bonus clip from Shared Lunch, Luke Kemeys of Keep the Change breaks down the good and bad sides of debt. He explains why borrowing can be a powerful tool for building wealth, how everyday debt can quietly eat into your cash flow, and why keeping some cash aside matters when life doesn’t go to plan.

Plus, Luke looks at the relationship between debt and investing—and why understanding how your money is structured can sometimes matter more than chasing a better return.

This clip is a bonus from our previous episode ‘Are we too afraid to be ambitious?’

Luke Kemeys: The good and bad sides of debt (Bonus)

Why are we more comfortable talking about our voting preferences than our KiwiSaver balances?

Luke Kemeys of Keep the Change tells us why money is New Zealand's last taboo — and the opportunity cost of that silence. So why do so many Kiwi avoid even sharing their finances with family? What’s the downside of our cultural love of holding cash? Is a culture of Tall Poppies holding back our economy?

Luke shares his own history of credit card debt and the backlash to branding himself as a millionaire, and how normalising wealth conversations could make the whole country better off.
