On Friday, Wedbush Securities maintained its Outperform rating on Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) shares, with a consistent price target of $250.00. The firm's stance comes amid heightened antitrust scrutiny by the Biden Administration, which has taken aim at major tech companies including Apple, Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Meta (NASDAQ:META), and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN).
The Wedbush analyst commented on the situation, stating that Apple is facing a comprehensive challenge, yet it is anticipated that the case will persist for years and is likely to conclude with a settlement over the next 12 to 18 months.
This case marks an intensification of the current administration's antitrust efforts against the tech giants, which have also seen Google embroiled in an ongoing antitrust lawsuit and various cases against Meta and Amazon.
Apple's stock rating remains unchanged despite the legal complexities, indicating confidence in the company's performance and resilience. The $250.00 price target reflects a positive outlook on Apple's value and the analyst's expectations for the company's future financial results.
The tech industry is closely watching the unfolding legal battles, as these could set precedents for how antitrust laws are applied to large technology firms. Apple, with its significant market presence, is at the center of these discussions.
