JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee recently reiterated a Buy rating on Apple but raised his price target to $170 from $165, implying 17.15% upside potential to current levels. Chatterjee noted that the stock has underperformed despite a strong volume outlook for the iPhone 12 series.
“The upside pressure on volumes for the iPhone 12 series, historical outperformance in the July-September time period heading into launch event, and further catalysts in relation to outperformance for iPhone 13 volumes relative to lowered investor expectations implies a very attractive set up for the shares in the second half of the year and thus expect AAPL shares to outperform the broader market materially in 2H21,” the analyst said.
Consensus among analysts is a Moderate Buy based on 20 Buys, 5 Holds, and 2 Sells. The average Apple price target of $158.27 implies 9.07% upside potential to current levels.
