Yahoo Finance ·
Apple has officially revealed its latest 14-inch MacBook Pro, starting at $1,999 and powered by the M6 chip, delivering a 25% boost in artificial intelligence workloads and a 30% improvement in graphics compared to the previous M5 model. Preorders begin Wednesday, October 28, with retail availability slated for November 6. This hardware update follows the October 23 rollout of Apple's foldable iPhone Duo, which faced early consumer complaints regarding internal display issues near the hinge, though demand remained solid. Ahead of its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings report on November 2, HSBC analyst Nicolas Cote-Colisson reiterated a Buy rating and a $366 price target on AAPL stock. HSBC forecasts a 10.6% year-over-year revenue increase for the quarter, anticipating that expanding artificial intelligence capabilities will spark a substantial upgrade cycle for the tech giant.

DYAX 전담 분석
HSBC forecasts Apple's Q4 revenue to increase by 10.6% year-over-year, analyzing that strong iPhone demand and the expansion of AI features will drive a new replacement cycle. However, the new product's display defect issues and deteriorating retail investor sentiment could act as factors increasing short-term stock volatility.
Future stock prices will depend on whether AI features translate into actual sales growth and whether the spread of the display defect issue is prevented. Investors should closely monitor the guidance presented in upcoming earnings announcements and indicators related to year-end sales performance.
