Apple stock hits $325 amid strong sales but faces margin pressures and mixed analyst views.

Apple's stock has risen nearly 40% in a year, driven by record revenue and strong iPhone 17 sales, but now trades near analyst targets with concerns over fading tariff benefits and rising memory costs. The company posted its best June quarter ever, with 16% revenue growth and a 29% EPS increase, supported by a growing installed base and new AI features. However, supply constraints, margin pressure, and regulatory delays in AI rollout pose risks, leading to mixed analyst ratings and downward EPS revisions. Investors are advised to hold and watch upcoming quarters for clearer signs of sustained AI monetization and margin stability before buying more aggressively.
