For many years, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been one of the stars both in the stock market and in the technology sector. Known as a major innovator that has relatively consistently increased its yearly sales, its shares have been on a relentless rise for the most part.
Apple’s most recent earnings reports, however, show some signs that the company is struggling to keep up as it has experienced revenue drops in four consecutive quarters. Additionally, while its stock market performance has been fairly strong in 2023, it has gone through a period of increased volatility since it hit its $197 July peak.
With all of these factors considered and the New Year right around the corner, Finbold decided to consult the artificial intelligence (AI) of OpenAI’s prime platform – ChatGPT – to figure out where Apple’s shares might stand at the onset of 2024.

ChatGPT assesses Apple’s prospects for January 1, 2024
When making its analysis of how Apple might fare on New Year’s Day, ChatGPT considered the current optimism surrounding the company – both in terms of analyst forecasts and investor sentiment – as well as the fact that the tech giant has, despite the setbacks, outperformed the overall market throughout 2023.
The AI, ultimately, provided cautiously bullish concerning Apple and estimated that its stock could stand as high as $230 on January 1 while determining it is unlikely it would find itself below $200.
ChatGPT, however, also pointed out that there are multiple factors that could push the tech company’s stock either way, such as overall market conditions, challenges from competitors in the sector, and the success of its current innovative endeavors.
