Apple to Gain Market Share as 2026 Smartphone Slump Hits IDC Forecast

IDC forecasts the global smartphone market will fall 12.9% in 2026 to about 1.12 billion shipments due to rising memory chip prices, marking a record decline, but Apple and Samsung are expected to gain market share. The average selling price is seen rising about 14% to $523 as manufacturers push higher-margin models, with low-end Androids most affected. Apple recently posted a strong December quarter with iPhone revenue up about 23%, and analysts’ consensus on AAPL remains a Moderate Buy with roughly 12.7% upside to around $307.55.

Ives Sees Apple’s AI Push Delivering Big Upside for AAPL

Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives says Apple’s evolving AI push—headlined by a revamped Siri, AI platform for developers, and a Google Gemini partnership—could unlock meaningful upside for Apple stock in 2026, with AI monetization potentially adding $75–$100 per share. He maintains an Outperform/Buy rating with a $350 price target, signaling ~34% upside, and argues the market underestimates the impact of Apple’s consumer AI rollout despite past AI delays.

Apple AI Push Keeps Street-High $350 Target, Ives Says

Wedbush’s Daniel Ives reiterates a street-high $350 price target for Apple, calling the recent stock selloff unwarranted and arguing Apple’s AI strategy—centering on an upgraded Siri and an AI-powered subscription—could unlock significant value. With billions of devices installed and firm momentum on AI monetization, Ives sees upside of roughly 32% to the target, despite a prior delay scare. The stock’s current consensus remains a Moderate Buy with upside potential around the mid-teens, and Apple is positioned for a 2026 rollout after this year’s AI push.

PayPal Slides on 2026 Outlook as New HP CEO Takes the Helm

PayPal shares fell over 16% in pre-market trading after a Q4 earnings miss and a weak 2026 profit outlook. Adjusted EPS came in at $1.23 vs $1.29 expected, with revenue of $8.68B versus $8.80B expected. For FY26, the company guided to EPS of about $5.75, a touch above consensus ($5.73). Branded checkout growth slowed to 1% in Q4 amid softer U.S. consumer spending and competitive pressure. Enrique Lores, current HP CEO, will become PayPal’s president and CEO on March 1, with CFO/COO Jamie Miller as interim. TipRanks still labels PYPL as Hold with a target near $65.76, implying roughly 25% upside.

Apple signals resilient margins as memory costs loom

Apple forecast gross margins of 48%–49% for the March quarter, above December’s 48.2% and the 47.3% consensus, aided by a favorable mix of high‑margin hardware and Services growth (a record $30 billion in the December quarter). Memory pricing is rising and could pinch margins, but Cook said Apple will look at a range of options to mitigate it. Strong iPhone momentum and the Services pull helped support margins, and the stock rose about 1% in after-hours trading.

AI-Driven Upsell Could Lift Apple’s Q1 2026 Earnings

TipRanks’ analysis suggests Apple could post a strong fiscal Q1 2026 earnings beat thanks to the iPhone 17 upsell, a growing AI-driven upgrade cycle (Apple Intelligence and Siri 2.0 with Gemini), and resilient Services margins, with revenue guidance around $137–$139 billion and EPS near $8.27. Despite a high valuation, double‑digit EPS growth appears sustainable through the early 2030s, aided by China growth and a roughly 16% potential upside to a $298.84 price target.
