Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) continues to set itself apart as a leader in innovation and growth potential, particularly in the realm <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">of artificial intelligence</a>. 
JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee is bullish on the tech giant, reiterating an Overweight rating following Apple&#8217;s third-quarter fiscal year 2024 results. &#8220;A non-eventful quarter with Apple beating estimates across the board is exactly what is desired as we look forward to the AI upgrade cycle,&#8221; Chatterjee stated.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI: The Next Frontier for Apple</h2>
The focus on AI is not just a buzzword for Apple. Chatterjee emphasizes that the upcoming AI upgrade cycle, marked by the launch of iPhone 16 and new features in iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia, will play a pivotal role in Apple&#8217;s future growth.
 &#8220;The confidence in the AI upgrade cycle is starting to show,&#8221; he noted, referring to Apple&#8217;s guidance for the upcoming quarter, which indicates a +5% year-over-year growth despite economic uncertainties.
Apple&#8217;s strategy to integrate AI-driven features across its product lineup positions it as a frontrunner in the technology space. The company has already begun rolling out Apple Intelligence features to developers, with a broader rollout planned for English-speaking regions this fall. 
&#8220;The magnitude of AI-led opportunity will likely be broader for Apple even relative to the 5G cycle,&#8221; Chatterjee said, highlighting the extensive reach of AI capabilities across iPhones, iPads, and Macs.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strong Financial Performance Supports AI Strategy</h2>
Apple&#8217;s third-quarter results provide a strong foundation for its AI ambitions. The company reported revenue of $85.8 billion, exceeding consensus estimates of $84.5 billion. iPhone sales reached $39.3 billion, and Services revenue surged by 14% year-over-year to $24.2 billion. &#8220;Apple's results and execution stood out in its non-eventful nature,&#8221; said Chatterjee, indicating robust demand for Apple&#8217;s products and services even before the AI cycle&#8217;s full impact.
The impressive performance is bolstered by Apple&#8217;s plans to expand AI-driven features internationally, although Chatterjee advises monitoring the timing of these releases. &#8220;The magnitude of the opportunity is set up by the large installed base of iPhones and the plethora of AI-enabled features that Apple intends to bring,&#8221; he said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Apple Stock Investment Outlook</h2>
With a price target of $265 for December 2025, Chatterjee maintains his optimistic view of Apple&#8217;s prospects. &#8220;We rate shares of Apple Overweight given our favorable outlook on the iPhone cycle led by AI upsides,&#8221; he explained. The anticipated AI upgrade cycle is expected to enhance Apple&#8217;s valuation and provide substantial upside potential for investors.
Apple&#8217;s commitment to AI and its successful execution across product lines underscore its strategic positioning in the tech industry. The AI-driven growth prospects, coupled with Apple&#8217;s strong financial performance, make it a compelling investment opportunity. 
Chatterjee&#8217;s insights reinforce the idea that Apple is well-prepared to lead in the AI era, making it a stock to watch closely in the coming months.

&#8220;First, we created Truth Social to provide a safe harbor for free speech on the Internet,&#8221; said TMTG CEO Devin Nunes. &#8220;Now, we&#8217;re establishing a reliable home for great TV content that is neglected by the big corporations or is at risk of cancellation—and we are securing our own tech stack and hardware infrastructure to make our new CDN uncancellable.&#8221;

Guidance

Software Stock SolarWinds Plunges After Q2 Beat, Guidance Boost (UPDATED)

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has sounded the alarm on a rising trend of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/top-5-bitcoin-and-crypto-scams">scammers impersonating cryptocurrency exchange</a> employees to defraud unsuspecting victims.
What Happened: <a href="https://www.ic3.gov/Media/Y2024/PSA240801">According</a> to the FBI, the scam typically unfolds with an unsolicited call or message from individuals claiming to represent a cryptocurrency exchange.
These fraudsters create a sense of urgency, often alleging that there&#8217;s a problem with the victim&#8217;s account or that it&#8217;s at risk of being compromised. 
The scammer then persuades the victim to provide sensitive information, such as login credentials or personal identification details, under the guise of securing the account.
Once the scammer gains access to the victim&#8217;s account, they proceed to steal the cryptocurrency holdings. 
This method of attack highlights the critical importance of maintaining vigilance and skepticism when dealing with unexpected communications regarding digital asset accounts.
To help individuals protect themselves from such scams, the FBI recommends ignoring unsolicited calls or messages about account issues and independently verifying any claims by contacting the cryptocurrency exchange through official channels.

They also advise against clicking on links or downloading files sent by suspicious callers, emphasizing that account login information should never be shared with anyone. 
The bureau further cautions against services claiming to recover lost cryptocurrency funds.
This latest alert comes on the heels of a previous FBI <a href="https://www.ic3.gov/Media/Y2024/PSA240604">warning </a>issued on June 4, 2024, regarding work-from-home scams involving cryptocurrency.
In that scheme, scammers offered fake jobs with confusing compensation structures that required victims to make cryptocurrency payments to &#8220;unlock&#8221; work or earn more money.
What&#8217;s Next : Investors and enthusiasts alike can stay informed on these issues at events like Benzinga&#8217;s upcoming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/agenda/">Future of Digital Assets</a> conference on Nov. 19, where industry experts and law enforcement officials are expected to discuss the latest trends in cryptocurrency security and fraud prevention.
