The lawsuit stemmed from Cook's comment on a Nov. 1, 2018, analyst call that while Apple faced sales pressure in markets such as Brazil, India, Russia and Turkey, where currencies had weakened, "I would not put China in that category." Rogers, based in Oakland, California, said jurors could reasonably infer that Cook was discussing Apple's sales outlook in China, not past performance or the impact of currency changes. The judge also said that prior to Cook's comment, Apple knew China's economy had been slowing and had data suggesting that demand could fall. Apple and its lawyers did not immediately respond on Tuesday to requests for comment. The case is In re Apple Inc Securities Litigation, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, No.
