Shares of Apple are heading into December on steady footing as investors weigh record holiday guidance against questions about whether the stock’s recent strength already captures the upside.

The tone shifted from quiet accumulation to a more measured tape as the market assessed how much of Apple’s holiday momentum is reflected in the price.

Against that backdrop, we ran Apple through an AI price-prediction agent powered by OpenAI’s GPT.

The model generated a thirty-day outlook based on recent trading action and a focused set of technical indicators. At the time of the run, Apple traded at $277.84. For the period from Dec. 1 through Dec. 31, the model’s base-case projection came out to:

• Average predicted price: $280.75

• Implied move: about 1.05% higher

• Signal snapshot: MACD positive, RSI in the mid-50s

The forecast points to a modest grind higher as Apple moves through the early stages of its holiday quarter. The indicators lean constructive without signaling excess. Momentum is stable, and the setup reflects a continuation of the stock’s recent trend rather than a breakout. Still, broader AI price prediction says that Apple could hit $514 by 2030.

MACD has turned higher after several weeks of tightening movement. RSI in the mid-50s shows a market that is firm but not stretched. The model reads the tape as steady, with the path of least resistance modestly upward.

Apple’s fundamentals are solid. Fiscal 2025 revenue reached about $416 billion, a record for the company, with double-digit EPS growth supported by strength across hardware and services. Management guided December-quarter revenue up 10%–12% year over year to roughly $137 billion–$139 billion, signaling the largest holiday quarter in Apple’s history and driven by the iPhone 17 cycle and M5-based Macs and iPads.
