-- Wedbush周五发布的研究报告指出，苹果公司(AAPL)有望迎来增长的重大转折点，该公司将于下月在WWDC大会上发布其人工智能战略。 Wedbush表示，该券商预测，未来几年，全球约20%的人口将通过苹果设备使用人工智能。 分析师写道，未来几年，苹果将能够实现人工智能和存储服务的商业化，预计这将使股价上涨75至100美元，并带来每年150亿美元的额外服务收入。同时，苹果与阿里巴巴(BABA)在人工智能领域的合作至关重要，因为苹果的目标是在中国不断增长的用户群体中占据一席之地。 报告指出，商业化取决于苹果的用户基数，但可折叠手机、人工智能智能手机和价格亲民的苹果眼镜的创新将是该公司成功的关键所在。 该券商表示，重申了对该股票的“跑赢大盘”评级，并将目标股价从每股 350 美元上调至 400 美元。
