Recent Updates on Apple Inc stock
In the past month, Apple (AAPL) shares have fallen just over 5% (down 0.8% in the past week) but remain up about 11.5% over the last year, with the stock recently closing at $260.25. Despite the pullback, Wall Street maintains a “Moderate Buy” consensus and an average 12‑month price target of $299.49, implying notable upside. Bank of America analyst Wamsi Mohan, a highly ranked analyst, reiterated his Buy rating on January 12, 2026 with a $325 price objective, citing a bullish setup into Apple’s fiscal Q1 2026 earnings. He expects revenue and EPS slightly above consensus, driven by strong iPhone 17 demand and double‑digit Services growth, and projects around 10% year‑over‑year revenue growth and improving margins in fiscal Q2. Mohan highlights potential margin expansion from a richer Services mix, possible tariff cost tailwinds, supply chain efficiencies, and increased use of Apple’s own data centers, while also pointing to future catalysts such as a foldable iPhone and enhanced Siri with Gemini AI that could spur a new upgrade cycle and support a re‑rating of the stock.
Spark’s Take on AAPL Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, AAPL is a Outperform.
The score is driven primarily by Apple’s strong financial performance (elite margins and robust free cash flow) and a supportive earnings outlook with record results and solid guidance. Offsetting factors are weak near-term technical momentum and a demanding valuation (high P/E and low yield), with leverage remaining a secondary balance-sheet risk.
