Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 158

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is a technology company that has strengthened its mark in the AI realm with the launch of Apple Intelligence, its personal intelligence system, that enhances its devices and services worldwide. On December 26, Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives raised the firm’s price target on Apple Inc. to a Street-High of $325 from $300 and kept an “Outperform” rating on the shares. According to the firm, Apple is heading toward a multi-year AI-driven iPhone upgrade cycle. Additionally, the firm predicts a major boost from a new multi-billion-dollar yearly revenue stream from AI-powered apps, as well as iPhone upgrades over the next 12 to 18 months.

While we acknowledge the potential of AAPL as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter timeframe.
