Investing.com -- Here are the biggest analyst moves in the area of artificial intelligence (AI) for this week. HSBC has upgraded Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) to Buy from Hold, raising its price target to $366 from $260, saying the iPhone maker is at "an operational turning point" as AI capabilities and a strong product pipeline support growth.
