Evercore ISI analysts reaffirm a bullish outlook on Apple, maintaining a $330 price target that suggests a 26% upside from current levels. The cautious optimism follows signs of slowing growth in Apple's App Store, particularly in gaming-related spending, which is dragging revenue growth to about 7% year-over-year, below the company's 13-14% Services target. However, the broader Services segment, including Apple Pay, iCloud, and licensing, is expected to offset this weakness and support overall growth. Wall Street consensus is moderately bullish, with an average 12-month price target of $304.40, implying a 17.5% gain, though estimates vary widely due to market uncertainties.
