On Monday, Drexel Hamilton's Brian White said, "As the iPhone 6-Series nears the end of this two-year cycle, we expect some volatility; however, we believe the market is looking forward to the iPhone 7 in September." Looking ahead, White said Apple may issue a "cautious" Q3 outlook given the end of iPhone 6-series cycle and uncertain macro-economic conditions.
The average sell-side price target on Apple sits at around $138. With shares of Apple closing Tuesday's trading session just under $105, that average price target represents potential upside of about 31 percent. Here is a look at what nearly every major Apple analysts rating and price target stand at, as of Monday afternoon.
