Apple's 2.5B devices and AI services could boost stock 16% to $388 in 12 months, despite margin concerns.

Apple leverages its 2.5 billion active devices and a $120 billion annual Services business to unlock a major AI-driven growth opportunity. The company recently launched the foldable iPhone Duo and is expanding AI features like Siri to drive recurring revenue. Despite some margin pressure from rising memory costs, Apple reported strong Q3 earnings with 16.4% revenue growth and beat EPS estimates for the ninth straight quarter. Analysts see a 16.76% upside to $388.32 in the next year, supported by AI monetization, service upgrades, and capital returns, though caution remains on margins below 48%.

Apple's shares trade at USD 338.65 on Pluang as of Oct 08, 2026 23:11 WIB, close to their 52-week high of USD 341.07. The stock shows a modest 1-day gain of 0.59%, with a market cap of $4.91 trillion and a dividend yield of 0.32%. This strong trading position complements the company's reported 16.4% revenue growth and ongoing AI-driven expansion highlighted in the news.
