Apple Inc.

Apple’s stock hit a new high Friday after a four-month swoon, as investors looked ahead to a new iPhone and possibly a smaller iPad. The stock hit $648.19 just before closing, then retreated to $648.11. The stock fell last month after earnings for the April-June quarter showed the slowest growth in more than two years. Apple hasn’t said anything about releasing a new iPhone or iPad.
