Apple's stock fell 10.3% after its July 30 earnings report, despite beating revenue and EPS estimates, due to concerns over one-time tariff refunds and memory pricing pressures. Analyst Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities remains bullish, projecting a $400 price target driven by a new AI upgrade cycle and strong Services growth.
