Analysts say the iPhone 18 Pro could see only a modest price hike to about $1,199 (a ~9% increase) with the Pro Max around $1,299, as Apple weighs higher component costs and may absorb some of them to avoid steep sticker shocks, keeping within rivals’ pricing; higher-storage variants could still command larger jumps.
Wall Street analysts largely expect SpaceX (SPCX) to move higher over the next year, reiterating Buy or Hold ratings with 12‑month targets ranging from $170 to $239 and an average around $233.18, as the stock trades about $118 after a relief rally off July’s lows; investors are mindful of upcoming share unlocks despite the upbeat longer‑term outlook.
Analysts at TD Cowen and Benchmark reaffirm Buy on Strategy after its Q2 results, noting management’s shift from a 100% BTC allocation to a cash-heavy plan designed to return STRC to par and fund more BTC purchases. The quarter showed an $8.2B loss driven by unrealized BTC declines, Strategy’s BTC holdings rising to about 843,775 and a dollar reserve near $3.75B (enough to cover about two years of dividends). Institutional STRC holdings climbed to roughly $3.1B (about 29% of STRC), with management signaling buys below $100 to rebuild liquidity as targets diverge (Benchmark cut to $435, TD Cowen at $260). The stock traded around $97.70 after the report.
Analysts predict the iPhone 18 Pro will start around $1,349–$1,399 (and Pro Max around $1,449–$1,499) due to higher RAM, storage, and a costly new camera system, a price point echoed by a recent WSJ report that suggested $1,399 could be the starting price.
Analysts expect Apple to report continued revenue growth (14%–17% YoY) with EPS around $1.88 and revenue near $108.8 billion for its fiscal Q3, in what will be Tim Cook’s final earnings call as CEO. The big question is whether the Apple Upgrade program will meaningfully boost sales or simply offset price hikes.
SpaceX’s SPCX stock slid to an all-time low near $132.75, briefly dipping below its $135 IPO price after peaking at $225.64 in June and is now down about 30% from the high and roughly 12% year-to-date. Despite the pullback, 27 of 31 Wall Street analysts rate SpaceX a Buy or Strong Buy with an average target around $242 (Needham lifted to $250 from $200). The rally potential hinges on SpaceX’s diversified operations (rockets, satellite broadband, Starlink, data centers, AI) and near-term catalysts, including Starship Version 3’s 13th test flight, as investors await earnings due mid-August.
SpaceX’s IPO has sparked a wave of bullish analyst coverage, with average targets around $236.45—about 58% above SPCX’s close—driven by bets on Starship reusability, higher payloads, and SpaceX’s broader space infrastructure ambitions. Underwriters from leading banks are optimistic, but valuations hinge on executing ambitious milestones and the scale of future capital needs.
SpaceX's SPCX stock trades at about $149, roughly three weeks into public trading, dipping below its IPO opening price even as major banks initiated coverage with broadly bullish targets (JPMorgan at $225, Morgan Stanley $300, Goldman Sachs $205, Bernstein $239, RBC $225, and others). The company is entering the Nasdaq 100, and analysts cite its multi-segment moat across launches, connectivity, and AI compute as upside potential, though investors remain cautious about the stock’s valuation amid the new frontier-focused narrative.
SpaceX’s SPCX stock has slid to about $149 per share after roughly three weeks of trading, dipping below its IPO opening price even as a wave of bullish ratings from major banks (e.g., JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and others) arrive, with targets that signal upside as SpaceX enters the Nasdaq 100.
SpaceX’s historic IPO propelled the rocket company onto the Nasdaq 100, triggering fresh, highly optimistic analyst coverage after the quiet period ended. Morgan Stanley started with an overweight rating and a $300 target, while RBC ($225), UBS ($210), BTG Pactual ($225), and Stifel ($190) issued bullish notes. Analysts project multi-trillion-dollar revenue potential by 2030–2040 driven by space, Starlink, and AI ventures, even as the company still posts losses; SpaceX briefly hit a $2.9 trillion valuation before retreating to below $2 trillion after the debut, with the stock opening around $159.
Analysts argue Micron could surge toward a $2,000 price as AI-driven memory demand tightens supply, long-term customer contracts through 2030 totaling about $100 billion improve visibility and pricing, and MU's record DRAM/NAND revenue supports a valuation some on Wall Street still find attractive. The stock carries a Strong Buy consensus with a high price target, reflecting optimism about sustained AI investment and disciplined memory supply through 2027.
Analysts expect Sony’s PS6 to launch in 2028 without a disc drive as physical discs fade out that year, with a similar digital-only future anticipated for Microsoft’s Project Helix; some mention a possible add-on drive for legacy games.
Tesla stock jumped about 8% in Monday trading—the strongest one-day gain in over a year—as investors bet the company could beat Q2 delivery estimates on stronger demand in Europe and China; Goldman Sachs lifted its forecast to 420,000 vehicles, with Barclays and Morgan Stanley also revising higher ahead of the July 2 delivery report. A Version 14 Lite Full Self-Driving update for older Hardware 3 cars and a broader tech rally provided support, while investors watch margins and progress on robotaxi/Optimus plans.
Valve revealed Steam Machine pricing from $1,049 for 515GB to $1,428 for 2TB with a controller, a level driven by higher DRAM/NAND costs as AI demand tightens supply. The price anchors the device as a niche, limited-launch product unlikely to move mainstream console volumes, with analysts forecasting constrained availability and considering implications for next-gen systems (PS6, Project Helix) and potential shifts to subsidies, streaming boxes, or hardware-subscription models as costs stay high.
