J.P. Morgan has raised its price target for Apple stock from $325 to $345, maintaining a Buy rating. The firm believes the recent price hikes on multiple products will not significantly impact Apple's long-term growth, citing historical data showing limited correlation between pricing and sales volume.
J.P. Morgan recently reaffirmed its Buy rating on Apple and raised its stock price target to $345. This adjustment reflects the bank's confidence in Apple, despite recent announcements regarding price hikes for several products.
Apple's stock had previously dipped around 6% following news of increased prices for its products, attributed to a market-wide memory shortage. However, the stock has since rebounded, gaining nearly 15% and trading near its all-time high.
According to J.P. Morgan, historical sales data indicates a limited relationship between the pricing of Apple’s products and their sales volumes. This suggests that consumers continue to purchase Apple devices regardless of price fluctuations.
The report also highlights that the new pricing on Macs, which saw significant increases, could see stronger upgrade demand influenced by AI-related features. This may help mitigate the potential negative impact of the price hikes.
For iPhones, J.P. Morgan noted that buyers are generally less sensitive to price increases, particularly for higher-end models. Although Apple has yet to raise iPhone pricing, market expectations suggest increases may occur with the next generation launch in September.
