Apple Stock Price Forecast & Long-term Prediction

• Price for Today 12/03/2024 — 239.59 USD.

• Price at Q1 of 2024 — $171,48. 

• Price for next year 2025 — $314.

• Long-term price 2025 and 2030 — $400.

In the next 12 months, experts expect an uptrend in Apple's stock price. According to investing.com, most experts have a "buy" recommendation. This remains the case despite a disappointing Q1 earnings report.

The forecast for Apple for the May-June period is promising a rise in the price. On most timeframes, technical analysis indicators are giving an active buy signal. 

For example, on the hourly and daily charts the RSI indicator is slightly above 60. This indicates that the asset is not overbought. Prices retain the potential for growth.

The price of AAPL share is above the moving averages at the time of writing. This is a sign of positive sentiment in the market. 

Chart patterns give a bearish signal. Harami bearish is present on the 1W timeframe. However, its reliability is minimal. Therefore, Apple is expected to rise.

The forecast is based on data current as of May 07. It is presented solely for informational purposes and does not constitute investment advice.

At the beginning of May 2024, Apple had high profitability and good margins. At the same time, it has a high debt-to-equity ratio. This is a sign of dependence on external sources of finance. In times of high interest rates, this is an unfavorable factor.

Other key indicators are summarized in the table below.

According to analysts at The Motley Fool, Apple's revenue will grow just 1% in 2024. And the company's profit growth is expected to be 7%. 

Experts note that Apple reported an unsuccessful launch of sales of Vision Pro. In addition, sales of iPad, Apple Watch and AirPods have declined. Services remain the company's strength. Revenues from this business are showing strong growth.

The price forecast for the next year and 5 years is positive. Experts believe that Apple's stock will go up relative to the present price. There are a number of factors contributing to this:

1. Strong business. Equities are perceived as a safe haven from the crisis.

2. A unique customer relationship model.

3. Potential to grow the company's revenue through new areas such as augmented reality.

But there are a number of negative factors. They will affect the share price in the next 5 years. First of all, it is the high current value of the company. In 2023 the share price grew by 46%. The stock is currently close to historical highs.

In addition, experts believe that Apple is no longer a growth company. There are fears that the company will reduce the rate of revenue growth in the future. Today, AAPL stock is recommended to buy. However, the number of analysts who give such an assessment is smaller than the competitors. 

Quotes are influenced by the situation in the technology industry and the stock market as a whole. In many respects, positive Apple stock forecasts are based on the experts' belief in the high potential of the sector.

In 2024 the negative factor for quotations will be the attention of the regulator. Also, sales cuts may lead to price declines. Nevertheless, experts give mostly optimistic predictions. For example, the target price of the stock for the end of 2024 will be priced at:

• $207 — according to the calculations of Coin Price Forecast service specialists;

• $216 — by Michael Graw (Techopedia platform);

• $225 — as predicted by Bank of America experts.

The average analyst price target, according to Nasdaq, is $205.09. The maximum is $250.

The reason for the stock's bullish forecast for 2024 is investors' belief in the issuer's stability. The company is seen as a good investment to wait out the crisis. When the Fed cuts rates, a risky but fast-growing business becomes more interesting.

In 2025, Apple is expected to maintain leadership in key niches. First of all, it is chip production and innovative design. This will help maintain the level of sales of gadgets. 

Experts offer the following stock price prediction for 2025:

• $349-$472 — Gov Capital;

• $237 — Techopedia;

• $ 233 — Coincodex and Coin Price Forecast.

We believe that Apple's share price will rise in price  in 2025. BeatMarket analysts expect the stock to be worth more than $260 at the end of 2025. The detailed price prediction for 2025 is summarized in the table below.

AAPL's forecast for 2026 promises a growth of quotations relative to the present price. But it is unlikely that the price will stay above $300 for a long time. 

The price of the stock is predicted to be:

• $269 — from the experts at Coin Price Forecast;

• $298 — according to the experts at Techopedia;

• до $762 — according to Gov Capital's calculation methodology.

Based on our view, Apple stock could be a bad investment in 2026, as there is a risk that prices will come under pressure. This is possible due to the strengthening of competitors. Another possible reason is the increased risk appetite of investors. 

Experts give conflicting price forecasts for stocks for 2027. The minimum level is offered by the service Wallet Investor. Their target price is $269. The analysts of Gov Capital are the most optimistic. In their opinion, the value will reach $1125.

According to our prediction, in 2027 prices will again test the level of $ 300. It is likely that they will be able to consolidate near this value.

Apple’s stock price forecasts for 2028 also vary widely. The analysts' minimum target price is $290 at the end of the year. The maximum is $1472. You can also find predictions in the neighborhood of $400 and $600. 

In our opinion, the AAPL stock price will not show a strong increase. We do not expect it to be above $400 by the end of 2028.
