Apple Stock ATH Projection for 2026: Bullish Momentum Builds Amid AI Strategy
Apple shares hover below $259.37, testing December 2025 lows of $288.62 as Wall Street consensus forecasts rally to $284-290. Top analysts project a 2026 price target of $350, contingent on performance surpassing recent benchmarks.
Wedbush's Daniel Ives champions the bullish case, citing Apple's 'invisible AI strategy' anchored by 2.4 billion iOS devices. '2026 marks Apple's entry into the AI Revolution,' Ives asserts, contrasting the company's measured infrastructure spending against competitors' speculative bets.
Market volatility underscores the divergence between institutional confidence and retail skepticism. The $350 target—if achieved—would establish a new all-time high, though debate persists on execution risks in Apple's AI roadmap.
