Apple stock outlook after iPhone Duo launch: What investors need to know

Apple launched the $1,999 iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro models. The stock traded at $317.70 pre-market, up 0.75% after a muted initial reaction. Analysts estimate Duo sales of 8M–15M units in 2027, with potential revenue growth of 20%. However, supply limits, margin pressure, and AI execution pose risks. Analysts' price targets range from $365 to $380, with BofA reducing its target to $370. Next earnings are Oct 29, 2026, with consensus EPS of $1.98 and revenue of $113.22B.
