Loop Capital analyst Ananda Baruah upgraded Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) from Hold to Buy with a price target of $315.00 (from $226.00).

The analyst comments "We’re upgrading AAPL to Buy (from Hold) and raising our PT to $315 (from $226). The work of Loop Capital Supply Chain Analyst John Donovan (AAPL: Surging Demand for iPhone 17 Propelling AAPL to New Heights) suggests that we are NOW at the front end of AAPL’s long-anticipated adoption cycle that suggests ongoing iPhone shipment expansion through CY2027 (AAPL’s iPhone 20 Anniversary Phone... there is no iPhone 19, FYI) which comes as a combination of refresh cycle and demand catalyzed by new design cycles. Our $315 PT is 32x our CY2027 EPS of $9.65, which is what folks will be looking at 12 months from now."
