AAPL: AAPL sentiment is moderately bullish, driven by a strong Q2 2026 earnings beat ($111.2B revenue, +17% YoY) and record iPhone 17 demand making it the world's best-selling smartphone. However, sentiment is tempered by newly initiated DOJ antitrust proceedings (May 4), Strait of Hormuz supply chain disruptions pressuring margins, and iPhone unit sales narrowly missing estimates for the second time in three quarters. Analyst consensus remains firmly Buy (78%) with a mean price target of ~$291, but retail investor engagement on Reddit/WSB is unusually low, suggesting the current rally lacks broad retail conviction.
