  • Apple Share Drop Follows Price Hikes, Analysts Maintain Bullsih Stance
    June 25, 2026, 12:27 PM EDT. Apple shares fell 4.8% after rare mid-cycle hardware price increases were announced on June 25. Despite the selloff, analysts from Evercore ISI and Wedbush kept their Outperform ratings and price targets at $365 and $400 respectively. They see the higher prices as a necessary move to offset soaring DRAM and NAND memory costs, which Apple faces due to expired long-term supply agreements and rising spot market prices. While Evercore warned the price hikes might dampen demand for Macs and iPads, Wedbush believes Apple can raise prices without significant customer loss, citing strong demand for higher-end products. Analysts focused on margin protection rather than demand impact, with Apple's next pricing event anticipated at the September iPhone launch.
