Apple shares got a price target hike from Deutsche Bank analyst Jeriel Ong .
Ong boosted his target on the iPhone maker’s share price to $400 from $380. He affirmed his buy rating.
Although the analyst did caution about what he thinks is the stock price’s overreaction to the positive data points over the past two months, he is optimistic on the company's fundamentals.
Amid his confidence about the company, the downside risks that Ong indicated include a more prolonged second wave of covid-19, iPhone delays hurting the stock price(which investors appear to largely be looking through now, according to Ong), and lower spending in the second half of the year due to smaller wallets and higher unemployment.
Nevertheless, Apple can “work from present levels” according to Ong.
