JPMorgan ups Apple target price to $265 on AI-powered hardware upgrade cycle

JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee has reaffirmed his bullish stance on Apple, upgrading the stock’s price target to $265 from $245. Chatterjee believes Apple is poised for a hardware upgrade cycle driven by artificial intelligence advancements. He expects the upcoming fiscal Q3 report to provide further evidence of this potential growth trajectory.

Investment bank JPMorgan on Wednesday put Apple (AAPL) stock on its “positive catalyst watch” ahead of the consumer electronics giant’s June-quarter [fiscal Q3] earnings report.
Investor focus is likely to pivot to looking beyond calendar 2024 starting with the fiscal Q3 report, Chatterjee said. Apple’s September quarter will be a “launchpad” for the company’s AI-enabled hardware, starting with the iPhone 16 series.
“Apple (is) well positioned to drive higher confidence from the upcoming earnings print relative to the shares representing a solid ‘edge AI’ play heading into the upcoming fiscal years,” he said in a client note.
