Apple (AAPL, $315.29) gets price target hikes, on optimistic demand outlooks
Apple got price target hikes from two analysts.
Deutsche Bank analyst Jeriel Ong boosted his target to $320 from $305 on the iPhone maker’s shares, citing the company’s store reopenings as a “directional sign” of improvement and a movement toward a more normalized demand environment for the company. Despite the optimistic outlook, Ong warned about the effects of high unemployment and “smaller consumer pockets” on the next-generation iPhone launch that is expected in September/October.
Jefferies analyst Kyle McNealy lifted his price target to $370 from $350, on what he perceives to be Apple’s strong growth through online channels since the beginning of covid-19 crisis. He also mentioned very strong demand for new iPhone SE through April. "Initial interest in the iPhone SE is quite remarkable as evidenced through our page traffic mix data," McNealy said in a note to investors.
