Bull vs Bear
6 bullish · 3 bearish points
Bullish view
  • Price targets are being raised: the last 90 days average $1,310.40, 7.9% above the prior three months.
  • Operating margin expanded to 16.1% in the Jun 2026 quarter from 14.9% a year earlier.
  • Gross margin improved to 39.5% from 38.5% a year ago.
  • Revenue grew 10.3% year on year in the Jun 2026 quarter to $5.02B.
  • Holds 15.4% above its 200-day average.
  • Has recovered 44.9% off the 52-week low of $912.82.
Bearish view
  • Only 1 of 9 analysts are positive — 7 sit on the fence and 1 are outright negative.
  • The most bearish target on the street, $1,081.00, implies -18.3% downside; the range runs to $1,428.00, so the panel is far from agreed.
  • Missed consensus EPS in 4 of the last 8 quarters.
Both sides are generated from reported financials, consensus estimates, analyst targets and the price series — not from opinion.
