Apple Inc.($AAPL): Morgan Stanley Sees $130B Robotics Potential Apple Inc.BATS:AAPLDEXWireNewsApple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) stock dipped 0.52% to $268.37 on Friday despite bullish long-term projections from Morgan Stanley. The investment bank’s new report suggests that Apple’s emerging robotics division could generate as much as $130 billion in annual revenue by 2040. According to the analysts, including Apple specialist Erik Woodring, the company’s early robotics efforts could evolve into a major growth pillar alongside the iPhone, Mac, and wearables. The report envisions humanoid robots and robotic home assistants as part of Apple’s long-term strategy, powered by its AI and hardware integration strengths. Morgan Stanley based its estimates on Apple’s track record of dominating premium consumer technology segments. With the company’s existing ecosystem—spanning devices, software, and services—Apple is seen as well-positioned to commercialize robotics on a massive scale. The analysts expect the robotics segment to capture roughly 9% of the total global market over the next 15 years. The potential opportunity builds on Apple’s continued investment in AI and advanced sensors, technologies that would be essential for functional and safe humanoid robots. Analysts note that while Apple has not officially disclosed a robotics project, recent patent filings and talent acquisitions hint at serious development in the space.

Price action suggests a possible retest of this breakout zone before extending higher toward $290 and $300.
