[Apple’s smart home product launch is coming soon, analysts are looking forward to the company’s stock price prospects] October 13th, Apple officially announced that it will hold a smart home product launch event on Tuesday (October 13th), and is expected to launch Apple doorbells and Apple thermostats. Later this month, the company also plans to launch a touchscreen MacBook and a new iPad mini. The market expects that the company will disclose when it releases its financial report in a few weeks that revenue for the just-ended fiscal year 2026 increased by 15% year-on-year. But it appears to be nearing the high point of this growth cycle: revenue is expected to slow to 10% in fiscal 2027 and further to 7.8% in fiscal 2028. It remains to be seen whether Apple's new products can change the company's earnings prospects. But Wall Street analysts are not rushing to raise their forecasts. In the past three months, analysts have lowered their expectations for Apple's fiscal 2027 net profit by 0.6%, while revenue expectations have only increased by 0.7%.
