The shares of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) have declined by around 8% following the company’s WWDC 2026 conference on Monday, June 8. Wall Street still sees more than 10% upside, and the stock is held by 170 hedge funds, making it a Good Stock to Invest in Now.

​During the conference, Apple finally showed functional generative AI across its devices. However, Siri AI is only expected in Beta version later in 2026 with a limited rollout in the US, excluding key markets including Europe and China. Although Wall Street didn’t get the blockbuster agentic AI that it wanted to see from Apple, the company has started to use its cloud as a testing model for heavier AI usage.

​Following the conference, on June 9, Morgan Stanley analyst Erik Woodring raised the firm’s price target on Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) from $330 to $360 and maintained a Buy rating on the shares. Woodring noted that the WWDC conference demonstrated clear progress on Apple’s AI roadmap and pointed to an earlier monetization opportunity than the firm had previously expected.

​Despite the positive signals, Woodring cautioned that Apple’s intelligence improvements will take time to fully materialize. He described WWDC as “a step in the right direction” that should continue to improve, but tempered expectations around the pace of AI development.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) designs, manufactures, and markets smartphones, personal computers, tablets, wearables, and home accessories. The company develops its own operating systems (iOS, macOS) and provides digital services, including iCloud, Apple Pay, and content streaming through the App Store and Apple TV+.
