The combination of a raised price target, strong foldable iPhone demand, and launch-day scarcity can improve near-term momentum and attract buyers. Historically, analyst upgrades tied to new flagship devices often precede short-term upside, especially when lead times imply sustained demand rather than a one-off event.
