The modern investment landscape is riddled with uncertainty. Geopolitical tensions are skyrocketing, with the United States adopting aggressive economic policies. That has led many to be bullish on some of the biggest companies in the world. Amid that, Apple (AAPL) has gotten a $184 price target, with some projecting the stock to crash 20% this year.

The company has not gotten off to a great start so far this year. Its presence in China has been shaken, with the iPhone losing a notable market share. Moreover, it faced a ban in Indonesia that didn’t help its sales figures. With its AI product’s release to a lackluster response, could the worst-case scenario come to fruition for the company in 2025?

Apple Could See 20% Crash as Experts Entertain Possible Price Drop

Entering the year, many expected Apple to potentially be the first company to reach a $4 trillion market cap. Indeed, how could such a feat be out of the question? The tech firm was the first to reach both $2 trillion and $3 trillion, respectively. However, things have been increasingly different since the year started.

The arrival of the Trump administration has brought with it aggressive economic policies. That has threatened a shot of companies and their operations overseas. With many experts concerned, Apple (AAPL) has received a $184 price target, relaying a potential 20% crash for the typically dominant stock.

The target comes from CNN data, which lists the $184 mark as a possible forecast for the net 12 months. Moreover, it comes as the analysts gave the company a neutral rating, expecting it to perform alongside the market over the next year. That could have dire consequences if the market stumbles amid geopolitical concerns.

Although it has strong financials, experts have begun to shift their stances. Of 52 recorded analysts, only 58% hold a buy rating on the stock. Alternatively, 10% have shifted to a sell rating. Still, it does hold a media price potential of $250, up 9% from its current position. Additionally, it holds a high-end possible price of $300, which would be up more than 31%, solidifying the growing risk and reward that will define the market this year.
