Wedbush's optimistic outlook on Apple, maintaining an "Outperform" rating with a 12-month price target of $325, has not been enough to quell investor concerns. Despite the firm's confidence in Apple's growth prospects, particularly in its Services segment and upcoming AI initiatives, the market remains cautious.
