Key Drivers Behind the Rally

Strong iPhone 16 Sales – Early sales data suggests Apple’s latest iPhone generation is outperforming expectations, particularly in emerging markets like India and China.

AI Integration – Investors are optimistic about Apple’s upcoming AI features, expected to be unveiled at WWDC 2025, including major upgrades to Siri and AI-powered productivity tools.

Services Growth – Apple’s subscription services, including Apple Music, TV , and its newly expanded AI cloud offerings, continue to see double-digit revenue growth.

Analysts Raise Price Targets

Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley both lifted their 12-month AAPL price targets, citing strong fundamentals and potential upside from AI monetization.

'Apple is uniquely positioned to leverage its hardware-software ecosystem to dominate consumer AI,' said Daniel Ives of Wedbush Securities. 'This could be the start of another supercycle.'

What’s Next?

All eyes are now on Apple’s Q2 earnings call, where CEO Tim Cook is expected to provide updates on AI developments, Vision Pro sales, and the company’s expansion into generative AI.

With bullish momentum building, Apple stock remains a top pick for Wall Street, though some caution that macroeconomic risks could impact tech valuations later this year.
