It is difficult to overstate the power of the Apple brand or its dominance in the consumer electronics sector. Currently, it appears to be the most likely candidate to achieve a market capitalization of $4 trillion; however, recently, some have begun to question the company's growth prospects.
As of now, AAPL shares are trading at $241.29 — since the beginning of 2024, Apple's stock price has increased by 30.33%, while over the past 30 days, there has been a pullback of 2.21%.
Apple is facing mounting regulatory challenges and declining iPhone sales in the Chinese market. The company's earnings report for Q4 2024 was successful. Nevertheless, the question that concerns many investors is whether Apple’s stock can overcome recent challenges and rise to $300 by 2025.
Wall Street is uncertain that Apple shares can reach $300 by 2025
In order to hit the $300 mark, Apple shares must increase by 24.33% from current prices. While this is an ambitious figure, Apple has achieved significant profits in 7 of the last 10 years — thus, reaching it does not necessarily require an unpredictable positive turn of events.
