Following Apple’s Q4 2026 guidance, JP Morgan cuts its target for the company’s stock

JP Morgan lowered its price target for Apple Inc. stock from $345 to $350 following Apple's Q3 2026 earnings report, which warned that memory shortages will significantly worsen supply constraints in the September quarter. The bank remains bullish on demand for iPhone 17 and MacBook Neo, and expects Siri AI's launch to drive demand in Q4 2026. Apple's stock fell 9.6% to $301.41 after the report, which also showed a 5% drop in iPad revenue and slowing Services growth due to regulatory changes and the Epic Games dispute.

A few weeks ago, JP Morgan set a $345 price target for Apple’s stock through December 2027. Following yesterday’s quarterly results, the investment bank has slightly lowered its outlook. Here are the details.

JP Morgan lowers AAPL target #

As reported by * AppleInsider*, JP Morgan has lowered its price target for Apple’s stock from $345 to $350.

From AppleInsider: In a note seen by AppleInsider, JP Morgan shares that it believes high demand for products like the iPhone 17 and MacBook Neo has helped maintain momentum in the product cycle. Siri AI’s impending launch will also help drive demand going into Q4 2026.

JP Morgan’s revision came after Apple reported its quarterly results yesterday and warned that the memory shortage will significantly worsen supply constraints during the September quarter, particularly for the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Typically, these three segments account for roughly 64% of Apple’s revenue during its fourth fiscal quarter.

In yesterday’s report, Apple also posted a 5% drop in iPad revenue and addressed a slowdown in Services growth, due in part to weaker App Store gaming revenue, regulatory changes in select countries, and its ongoing dispute with Epic Games, which is preventing it from collecting commissions on purchases completed through external links in the US.

Apple’s stock opened down 8.6% today and is currently trading at $301.41, a 9.6% drop from yesterday’s close. The market’s harsh reaction came just days after Apple briefly surpassed a $5 trillion market valuation, overtaking Nvidia as the world’s most valuable company. Apple is now 11% for the year.
