Loop Capital analyst Ananda Baruah turned bullish on Apple, raising his price target to $300 (up a whopping $130) and upgrading the stock to “buy” due to a potential surge in iPhone upgrades.
Martin Baccardax for TheStreet:
“Apple has an opportunity over the next few years to solidify itself as consumers’ [generative-AI] ‘base camp’ of choice, similar to its impact with the iPhone for social media and the iPod for digital content consumption,” Baruah wrote, citing his colleague and supply-chain analyst John Donovan.
“These trends were significant stock catalysts, and we believe generative AI has the potential to be the same,” Baruah said. Generative AI derives new and original content, including text, images, video and more, from existing material.

Good news for beginning of good week, $300 a share here’s it coming.
Apple should easily hit 700+. they, so far, are the only company that has demoed a vision and use cases for adding AI, what they have calling machine learning, for the most part, into their full range of products. at the same time they have been encouraging developers to make use of the tech in their products for Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Apple Watch, vision, etc. you can imagine it making it’s way into car play depending on car manufacturers. that is really a big deal.
Siri hasn’t exactly been the best poster child, the proof will be in the pudding.
