Дата публикации: 13-08-2026 16:30:16

Our 24/7 Wall St. price target for Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL | AAPL Price Prediction) is $358.99, implying 18.77% upside from the $302.25 close on August 12, 2026. The model rates AAPL a buy at 90% confidence. With a beta of 1.086, Apple carries the lowest realized volatility profile of any $4 trillion-plus name.

24/7 Wall St. Price Target Summary

Metric	Value
Current Price	$302.25
24/7 Wall St. Price Target	$358.99
Upside	18.77%
Recommendation	BUY
Confidence Level	90%

The Rally, the Pullback, and the Setup

Apple rallied 32.1% over the past year but pulled back 4.66% in the last month, leaving shares 6% below the 52-week high of $344.27. Year-to-date, AAPL is up 11.48%.

Fiscal Q3 revenue reached $109.42 billion, up 16.4% year-over-year, with EPS of $2.02 topping estimates by 6.8% for the ninth consecutive beat. Tim Cook called it the “strongest June quarter ever”, driven by iPhone and Services.

Recent sentiment has been mixed, with r/wallstreetbets running bullish while r/stocks focused on CXMT rejecting Apple’s memory pricing demands, a supply-chain issue that Polymarket assigns only a 30.5% probability of resolving in Apple’s favor.

Why Bulls See $378 and Higher

The bull case takes AAPL to $377.70, a 23.87% total return. Services hit $30.74 billion in the June quarter, a high-margin annuity expanding steadily. The iPhone 17 lineup is driving strong demand, and Polymarket puts a 89.5% probability on a foldable iPhone launching before 2027, a potential ASP uplift.

Apple unveiled an all-new Siri AI at WWDC26, arming the 2.5 billion active device installed base with on-device generative AI. Buybacks of $62.09 billion over nine months shrink the share count.

What Could Go Wrong

The bear case caps AAPL at $313.91, only 2.95% above spot. Greater China revenue of $18.82 billion remains exposed to trade friction, and Q3 gross margin benefited by roughly two percentage points from tariff refunds worth about $0.11 in EPS.

Strip that out and the beat looks less clean. Polymarket’s crowd assigns only a 4% probability to AAPL hitting $360 in August. R&D spend rose to $11.73 billion from $8.9 billion a year ago, reflecting investment in the Siri AI stack.

How Apple Compares to Microsoft and Alphabet

Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) trades at a P/E of 27 with Azure growing 43% and Microsoft 365 Copilot at 30 million paid seats. Cloud growth outpaces Apple’s device cycles, but its multiple is lower, making Apple’s forward P/E of 32 look full.

Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) trades at a P/E of just 15 with Google Cloud accelerating to 82% growth and revenue up 24.2%. On pure numbers, GOOGL is cheaper and growing faster. Apple offers a beta of 1.086 and a $4.4 trillion capital return machine. The peer set makes our $358.99 target reasonable rather than aggressive.

Apple Price Prediction 2026-2030

Our 24/7 Wall St. price target of $358.99 rates AAPL a buy at 90% confidence. The bull thesis rests on Services growth staying in the mid-teens and the foldable iPhone timeline holding. The bear case builds if China revenue rolls over or tariff refund tailwinds reverse. The earnings acceleration justifies the premium multiple.

Year	24/7 Wall St. Price Target
2026	$358.99
2027	$395
2028	$435
2029	$478
2030	$521

These projections assume Apple compounds earnings in the low-to-mid teens and holds its premium multiple. Meaningful upside or downside could come from AI-driven device refresh cycles or a slowdown in Greater China.
