Crockett remains positive on Apple following the company’s recent event, in which it launched its Chromebook-style MacBook Neo, tapping into the lower end of the laptop market. Apart from that, a lower-end iPhone 17e also adds to the company’s lineup in the budget hardware category. The analyst also mentioned that Apple’s high-end products account for a modest percentage of build-to-order, which could lead to in-line performance with its March-quarter guidance.
On January 30, Reuters reported that, according to the LSEG, Apple expects Q2 FY2026 revenue to increase by 13% to 16%, compared with analysts’ 10% growth rate. Despite strong performance, Crockett highlighted that Apple trades at a meaningful premium.
A majority of 52 analysts out of 54 have rated AAPL a Buy, while only two analysts rate the stock as a Hold. The average price target of $302.5 highlights an upside of over 16%, while Rosenblatt’s price target implies a modest increase of almost 3% as of March 10.
