AAPL: AI Partnership And Services Engine Will Support Measured Long-Term Risk Reward

The analyst price target for Apple nudged higher to around $292 from about $287 as analysts factor in firmer App Store trends and a series of recent target hikes tied to services strength and the Google Gemini partnership, while also trimming long term revenue growth and P/E assumptions, but slightly lifting profit margin expectations. Analyst Commentary Recent research on Apple has centered on two main themes: the pace of services growth, particularly in the App Store, and the implications of the Google Gemini partnership and rising memory costs for margins and valuation.
