Apple Inc (NASDAQ: AAPL) has had a rather disappointing start to the new year but a Bank of America analyst remains positive on the stock for 2023.
Apple stock has upside to $225Wamsi Mohan upgraded the iPhone maker this morning to “buy”. His $225 price objective suggests a 20% upside from here.
The analyst attributed his bullish view on Apple stock partially to a solid growth in services. His research note also reads:
We upgrade Apple given stronger multi-year iPhone upgrade cycle driven by need for the latest hardware to enable generative artificial intelligence features to be introduced in 2024/2025.
Apple Inc is scheduled to report its financial results for the first quarter in early February. Consensus is for it to earn $2.08 a share versus $1.88 per share a year ago.

The Bank of America analyst likes Apple stock also because its Vision Pro sales could eventually exceed iPad revenue as “spatial computing takes hold offering differentiated use cases driving services upside”.
Mohan expects global demand for AI-enabled phones to deliver a significant boost to iPhone sales in the coming years. Weakness related to China, he added, is “largely offset by strength in other countries”.
The bullish call arrives only days after Apple Inc lost its title of the world’s most valuable publicly listed company to Microsoft Corp as Invezz reported here.
