Apple (AAPL) Stock Forecast: New iPhone Launch Amid Tariff Pressures
Apple Inc prepares for Friday's iPhone 17 launch as its stock shows tentative recovery signs, currently trading at $239. The tech giant faces headwinds from 2025's 9.3% YTD decline, driven by Trump-era tariffs on Chinese/Indian operations and lackluster AI performance. Wall Street remains skeptical about the new product lineup's growth potential.
Mind Money CEO Julia Khandoshko offers a contrarian view, suggesting tariffs could paradoxically stimulate demand. Her analysis points to June's 13% revenue growth as evidence of Apple's resilience. The $250-$300 price target hinges on successful holiday sales of the iPhone-AirPods-Watch ecosystem.
