Something has to give, and the next catalyst may already be in motion.

Price Targets desk. Editor: Vandita Jadeja.

Our 24/7 Wall St. price target for Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL | AAPL Price Prediction) is $391.86 over the next 12 months. That is 16.34% above the $336.83 reference price. The model rates the stock a buy with high confidence.

Wall Street’s consensus target of $328.09 sits below the share price, even though Apple has beat EPS estimates for nine consecutive quarters.

Our model weights forward earnings more heavily than slower-moving analyst targets. If analysts raise numbers to match the iPhone 17 cycle, the Street could converge on our view.

Over the past week, Apple shares rose 1.78%. They gained 5.93% over the past month and 25.02% year to date. The stock trades about 5% below its 52-week high of $345.34.

Apple’s fiscal Q3 report recorded revenue of $109.42 billion, up 16.4%. EPS came in at $2.02, ahead of the $1.89 consensus. iPhone revenue grew to $54.25 billion from $44.58 billion.

Management expects September-quarter revenue growth of 9% to 11%, held back by supply limits. CEO Tim Cook said “the iPhone and the Mac are both doing remarkably better than we thought they would do.”

Upside targets land at $444.68, a 32.02% gain. Three things drive it:

Among analysts, 25 rate Apple a buy or strong buy.

Downside targets land at $333.54. Cook called memory pricing a “100-year flood”. One-time tariff refunds added about $0.11 to EPS.

Greater China revenue fell from $20.497 billion to $18.816 billion from the prior quarter. Without tariff refunds, gross margin still hit guidance midpoint. R&D spending rose to $11.73 billion, showing AI investment.

Microsoft grows slightly faster at a lower multiple and spent $115.95 billion on capital projects in fiscal 2026. Apple’s leaner spending helps explain its premium.

Alphabet competes through Android with a low P/E flattered by $99 billion of unrealized gains. Free cash flow was -$5.855 billion last quarter, and Alphabet suspended buybacks. Apple’s premium showing cash returned to shareholders.

My 24/7 Wall St. price target is $391.86. The rating is buy with 90% confidence. The key factor is demand that keeps running ahead of supply.

Apple’s upside improves if iPhone and Mac supply catches up with orders. Memory costs drove gross margin below guidance would add downside weight. For now, Apple’s positive thesis outweighs the negative one.

The 24/7 Wall St. price target model projects Apple could trade at these levels if current trends hold:
