Canaccord Genuity Maintains Buy on Life360, Raises Price Target to $86

Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is gearing up for a significant rebound in the second half of fiscal 2025, driven by the highly anticipated launch of new product cycles, including a &#8216;slim&#8217; iPhone, and sustained momentum in its lucrative Services division, even as it contends with rising tariff costs and ongoing regulatory challenges.
On Monday, Bank of America Securities analyst Wamsi Mohan <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AAPL/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">reaffirmed a Buy rating</a> on Apple, maintaining a price forecast of $235.
As Apple prepares to release its fiscal third-quarter earnings on July 31, investor sentiment, as noted by Mohan, remains somewhat subdued.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/reiteration/25/07/46636565/apple-faces-existential-threat-if-it-fails-to-act-on-genai" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple Faces Existential Threat If It Fails To Act On GenAI</a>
Key concerns include escalating tariff-related costs, scrutiny from the Department of Justice regarding Google&#8217;s traffic acquisition cost (TAC) payments, ongoing headwinds for the App Store, and the perceived slow pace of Apple&#8217;s advancements in artificial intelligence.
Nevertheless, the impending earnings call is expected to shift focus towards gross margin trends and the projected recovery trajectory fueled by forthcoming product launches.
For fiscal third-quarter 2025, Mohan projects revenue of $90.2 billion and earnings per share (EPS) of $1.45, figures that slightly surpass consensus Street estimates of $89.3 billion and $1.43, respectively.
The analyst anticipates a gross margin of approximately 46.1%, aligning with Apple&#8217;s guidance midpoint, despite the absorption of an estimated $900 million in tariff-related costs.
Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, projections indicate revenue of $99.5 billion and EPS of $1.66, largely in line with Street expectations.
While gross margin is projected to dip to 45% due to an additional $1 billion in tariff impact, Mohan views this quarter as a trough, with margins expected to improve heading into fiscal 2026.
Mohan noted that a key driver of this expected rebound is the highly anticipated &#8220;slim&#8221; iPhone, potentially branded as the iPhone &#8220;Air,&#8221; which Apple is likely to launch in fall 2025.
The analyst said that this model, expected to replace last year&#8217;s Plus version, will reportedly have a 6.6-inch display, measure just 6mm thick, and carry a price tag $100 higher than the Plus.
He noted that the shift in product mix toward higher average selling prices (ASP) is anticipated to drive gross margin expansion and boost replacement rates. Mohan modeled stronger iPhone sales in the September and December quarters on the back of this launch.
On the Mac front, Apple is expected to benefit from the March launch of the new MacBook Air featuring the M4 chip, which provides improved performance at a reduced entry price of $999, or $100 lower than its predecessor, the analyst noted.
He said this is expected to drive better-than-seasonal Mac revenue in the June and December quarters. Similarly, Mohan said the iPad segment could receive a boost from the expected fall launch of iPad Pro models equipped with the M5 chip. The analyst anticipates revenue growth in iPads driven by higher ASPs and product upgrades.
Apple&#8217;s Services segment continues to show steady growth, Mohan noted. For the third quarter, he expects Services revenue of $27.1 billion, up 2% quarter-over-quarter and 12% year-over-year.
Substantial year-over-year gains are projected across the App Store (+12%), Licensing (+18%), Subscriptions (+9%), and Apple Pay (+18%), as per the analyst.
For the fourth quarter, Services are projected to rise another 3% sequentially to $28 billion, again marking a 12% annual increase, with Licensing and Apple Pay both expected to grow over 20% year-over-year, Mohan noted.
Mohan slightly raised estimates for the full fiscal year 2025. Revenue is now forecast at $409 billion (up from $408 billion), and EPS at $7.15 (up from $7.13). The price forecast remains $235, based on a 29x multiple of fiscal 2026 estimated EPS of $8.20.
While Apple faces near-term margin pressure and regulatory noise, Mohan noted upside potential in new product cycles, improving Services momentum, and ASP-driven gross margin recovery, positioning the stock for renewed strength in the back half of the year.
AAPL&nbsp;Price Action:&nbsp;Apple stock is trading higher by 0.10% to $214.06 at last check on Monday.

The Nvidia DRIVE AGX platform is a high-performance, scalable, and energy-efficient AI computing system designed to handle the complex workloads required for autonomous vehicles.
By integrating MOVIA via a plugin driver, MicroVision enables automotive OEMs and partners to access rich, processed point cloud data directly from the lidar sensor, reducing the need for additional computing and simplifying system architecture.

He highlighted that MicroVision's MOVIA sensors combine onboard perception capabilities with cost efficiency, making them highly competitive in commercial trucking and high-volume automotive applications.
DeVos also noted the industrialized MOVIA L sensor is tailored for commercial trucking fleets. At the same time, the upcoming MOVIA S is expected to deliver high performance at a lower price point for mass-market vehicles. The company views this collaboration with Nvidia as a significant step in accelerating its entry into the global automotive market, while continuing to explore broader industrial applications for its perception technology.
MicroVision stock gained 16% year-to-date, gaining close to 30% in the last three months. despite missing the revenue analyst consensus in the past three quarters. It missed the EPS consensus in the last two quarters.

Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shares are trading higher Monday after the company announced a $16.5 billion artificial intelligence (AI) chips deal with Samsung.
What To Know: According to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ft.com/content/0bd675cc-7076-47d2-950d-71aa91865278">Financial Times</a>, Samsung Electronics secured an eight-year, $16.5 billion contract to produce Tesla's next-generation AI6 chip, marking the largest chip order Samsung has ever received from a single customer. The chips will be manufactured at Samsung's new Texas fabrication plant, part of a broader $40 billion investment supported by subsidies under the U.S. Chips and Science Act.
The custom chip is designed to support Tesla's autonomous driving systems and humanoid robot technology. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the AI6 chip could also be used in Tesla's data centers to train video-based AI models, reducing reliance on general-purpose GPUs from Nvidia and AMD.
Musk confirmed the deal on X, stating Samsung had "agreed to allow Tesla to assist in maximizing manufacturing efficiency" and added that he would "walk the line personally to accelerate the pace of progress." He called the deal strategically vital, noting the fabrication plant is located "not far from my house."
Musk said the $16.5 billion figure is "just the bare minimum," adding that "actual output is likely to be several times higher."

Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) is navigating a pivotal period marked by accelerating business fundamentals, robust advertising performance, and strong leadership in AI and cloud computing, even as a critical antitrust ruling looms.
The upcoming decision from Judge Amit Mehta in the U.S. Department of Justice&#8217;s search antitrust case, expected by August 8, 2025, could reshape the company&#8217;s operational landscape, though the long-term implications are viewed as manageable.
Despite the shadow of regulatory uncertainty, Alphabet&#8217;s core growth engines and aggressive AI initiatives signal sustained strength, as underscored by J.P. Morgan analyst Doug Anmuth.

On Monday, Anmuth reiterated an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GOOGL/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Overweight rating</a> on Alphabet with a price forecast of $232, citing accelerating fundamentals, resilient advertising performance, and the company&#8217;s long-term leadership in both artificial intelligence and cloud computing.
Anmuth supported the rerating by the company&#8217;s accelerating fundamentals, resilient advertising performance, and long-term leadership in artificial intelligence and cloud computing.
While regulatory uncertainty continues to dominate investor sentiment, particularly surrounding the U.S. Department of Justice&#8217;s ongoing antitrust case over Alphabet&#8217;s search business, the analyst believes the risks are manageable and potentially over-discounted in the stock&#8217;s valuation.
He noted that investor attention is now centered on Judge Amit Mehta&#8217;s upcoming decision on remedies in the search antitrust case, which is expected no later than August 8, 2025.
While the exact nature of the remedy remains unclear, Anmuth believes the most likely outcome would involve a prohibition on exclusionary practices and exclusive preloading of Google Search across major access points such as Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) devices, Android smartphones, third-party browsers, and Chrome in the United States.
More punitive measures, such as banning all distribution payments, forcing a Chrome divestiture, restricting AI programs, or enforcing extended remedy durations, are considered less probable but remain on the table, per the analyst.
Regardless of the outcome, Alphabet is expected to appeal both the August 2024 monopoly ruling and any associated remedies, potentially extending the regulatory process by 1.5 to 2.5 years based on historical precedent, such as the Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) case, he noted.
From a financial perspective, Anmuth projects that Alphabet could face a 5% to 10% headwind to GAAP EPS in 2026 if stricter remedies are enforced.
The most exposed segments include U.S. Search &amp; Other revenue, which the analyst estimates will reach $86 billion in 2026, accounting for roughly 78% of Alphabet&#8217;s U.S. S&amp;O segment, 35% of global S&amp;O revenue, and 19% of total company revenue. He noted that related U.S. traffic acquisition costs (TAC) are expected to total $20 billion, or 18% of domestic S&amp;O (Sales &amp; Operations) revenue.
Despite these risks, Anmuth considers Alphabet&#8217;s second quarter a defining moment for the stock. He noted that Google Cloud revenue grew 32% year-over-year, significantly accelerating, while Search &amp; Other revenue rose 11% excluding foreign exchange impacts.
Excluding legal fees and one-time settlement costs, the company&#8217;s operating margin expanded by approximately 150 basis points year-over-year, reflecting continued efficiency even amid a surge in AI-related capital expenditures, as per the analyst.
Valuation remains a strong point, Anmuth noted. Alphabet shares are trading at roughly 18.3 times 2026 GAAP EPS and 16.3 times 2027 EPS, which the analyst sees as attractive given the company&#8217;s growth prospects. For 2027, the analyst projects GAAP EPS of $11.89, which supports the firm&#8217;s $232 price forecast based on a 19.5x multiple.
Alphabet is ranked as the analyst&#8217;s second-highest conviction pick behind Amazon.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), driven by several key tailwinds: sustained leadership in AI and generative search transition, healthy growth in core ad businesses such as Search and YouTube, accelerating demand and capacity expansion in Google Cloud, and improving margin performance despite increased capex and depreciation, he said.
Ultimately, while the legal overhang introduces short-term uncertainty, Anmuth argues that Alphabet remains one of the strongest long-term opportunities in large-cap tech. Any remedy-driven weakness in the stock could offer investors a compelling entry point, especially if the final ruling proves less punitive than feared, as per the analyst.
Price Action: GOOGL stock is down 0.74% at $191.71 at last check on Monday.

Alphabet's Legal Woes May Create Buying Opportunity: Analyst

A childhood obsession with &#8220;The Sims&#8221; has evolved into an $11 million artificial intelligence startup now powering digital training for global brands like L&#8217;Oréal and Henkel. Co-founded by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45014781/adobe-invests-in-2-1b-ai-unicorn-synthesia-as-openais-sora-competes-in-the-race-for-ai-generated-video-dominance">Synthesia</a> alumni Caoimhe Murphy and Ben Carr, Anam is building real-time, emotionally intelligent AI personas that replicate human presence with near-flawless realism,<a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexandrameier/2025/07/18/how-video-game-the-sims-inspired-an-11-million-backed-startup/"> Forbes</a> reports.
Backed by Redpoint Ventures, Anam just closed a $9 million seed round, bringing its total funding to $11 million and accelerating plans for U.S. expansion and product development, Forbes says. According to<a href="https://anam.ai/"> Anam</a>, the funding will bolster the company's proprietary CARA II model, which enables hyper-realistic, sub-second <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46464521/elon-musks-new-ani-ai-avatar-incepts-70-million-meme-coin-on-solana">AI avatar</a> responses that mimic natural conversation, body language, and facial expressions.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Redpoint-Backed Anam Powers AI Customer Support and Training for L'Oréal, Schwarzkopf, and Henkel</h2>
Enterprise clients are already using Anam's technology to create scalable, always-on AI instructors, therapists, and brand ambassadors, Forbes says. At Henkel's Schwarzkopf brand, executives noticed that employees were relying on TikTok for professional development, prompting the company to partner with Anam to deliver a controlled, high-quality training experience that actually engaged their workforce.
"They needed a training platform that was engaging and could be controlled," Murphy told Forbes. "That's where Anam came in."
According to Forbes, the avatars blink, raise their eyebrows, and move with sub-second reaction time in real-time conversation. Anam says these AI personas can be created from a single uploaded image and integrated using a lightweight software development kit with just a few lines of code. Depending on client needs, the avatars can be deployed in healthcare, sales, onboarding, or customer service settings.

Murphy and Carr first connected at Synthesia, a $2 billion generative AI company known for text-to-video avatars, where Murphy worked on go-to-market strategy and Carr worked as a research engineer, according to Forbes. The duo left to build something more expressive: AI personas that could replicate full emotional nuance in real time instead of static, pre-rendered videos.
Anam's new feature, "One Shot," allows users to create a live, interactive AI persona from just a single image, though the tool is currently limited to enterprise clients due to ethical safeguards and safety risks, Forbes says. According to Murphy, keeping the tech private for now is essential to avoid misuse while the company finalizes guardrails for broader release.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Anam Says Humans Are the Competition, Not Other AI Startups</h2>
While most AI founders come from engineering backgrounds, Murphy stands out as a commercially focused CEO who has never written a line of code, yet successfully closed funding rounds and secured major corporate partnerships, Forbes reports.
"Our vision is to have AI personas that feel indistinguishable from real life," Murphy told Forbes. "We need to create personas that feel even more engaging and realistic than human beings."
The company has drawn funding from top-tier investors including ElevenLabs, Torch Capital, Concept Ventures, and Replicate Labs. According to Anam, its software development kit makes it easy to embed real-time AI personas into any platform, powered by expressive, photorealistic technology.
