Morgan Stanley has raised its Apple price target to $152 on expectations of a strong December quarter across its product and services portfolio. In a note to investors seen by AppleInsider , analyst Katy Huberty says that recent checks indicated that 5G adoption, the switch to remote education and work, and sustained App Store engagement all drove Apple to a potential blockbuster of a December quarter. "Our recent conversations suggest investors expect Apple to release solid, but not great, December quarter results," Huberty writes. "We disagree and believe that Apple is likely to report all-time record quarterly revenue and earnings." The analyst expects Apple to report double digit year-over-year growth across all five of its revenue segments, with some … [Read more...] about Morgan Stanley raises AAPL target to $152, expects blockbuster December quarter

AppleInsider is supported by its audience and may earn commission as an Amazon Associate and affiliate partner on qualifying purchases. These affiliate partnerships do not influence our editorial content. Morgan Stanley is "increasingly bullish" about the iPhone 12 cycle and has hiked the target Apple stock price, because of better-than-expected sales performance in China, stable build numbers, and other positive data. In a note to investor seen by AppleInsider , lead analyst Katy Huberty writes that the iPhone 12 is "surprising to the upside in China." The trend comes after months of supposed smartphone weakness in China. The analyst estimates that iPhone shipments are up around 40% year-over-year in China in the quarter to date. That's based on smartphone shipment information released by the Chinese government. Since it doesn't break out Android versus non-Android devices, the percentage of smartphones sold in China that are iPhones is an estimate.

Morgan Stanley has raised its AAPL price target to $164 on blockbuster Apple December quarter results, and said that products like the iPhone could see continued strength in the second quarter. In a note to investors seen by AppleInsider , Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty said that some of the highlights of Apple's Q1 2021 earnings report were "faster iPhone share gains, installed base growth, and services monetization." Those factors, along with a refreshed product lineup and a continued remote education and learning environment, hint at strong double-digit growth over the next several quarters, Huberty said. Other key metrics support an overall faster growth outlook in the long term. They include an acceleration in Apple's installed base growth — from 7% to 10% — and services monetization, as well as a recovery in China. The analyst adds that Apple's gross margin of 39.8% was 160 basis points higher than she modeled. Guidance suggesting upcoming March … [Read more...] about Morgan Stanley raises AAPL to $164 on Q1 2021 results, says Q2 outlook is strong

Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Cao Duc Phat answers questions from NA deputies. —VNA/VNS Photo Nguyeân Dan HA NOI — National Assembly deputies questioned the value of allowing foreign investors to lease Viet Nam's forests yesterday. They also discussed ways to help rice farmers earn an adequate profit during a question-and-answer session with Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Cao Duc Phat. Deputy Le Nhu Tien, central Quang Tri Province, argued that allowing foreign investors to lease 300,000ha of forest land for 50 years would do more harm than good. "Farmers lack land for both agriculture and forests and many people are unemployed," he said. "Leasing forest to foreign investors is a narrow-minded policy." The deputy also asked if the practice complied with Viet Nam's laws and regulations governing national security, the environment and natural resources. Deputy Nguyen Van Tuyet, northern mountainous Yen Bai Province, asked when ministry teams … [Read more...] about NA deputies question practice of leasing forests to foreign investors

Investment bank Morgan Stanley calls recent reports of weaker iPhone demand "supply chain noise," and sees the AAPL pullback as a buying opportunity for investors. In a note to investors seen by AppleInsider , analyst Katy Huberty says she agrees with reports of iPhone 12 mini weakness, but adds that the overall demand environment remains positive for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro lineup. For one, she cites reports that Apple is cutting iPhone production to 75 million units in the first half of 2021. Although Huberty admits this has contributed to recent AAPL underperformance, she says the news is "noise rather than anything that impacts the fundamental outlook." A recent Morgan Stanley check indicated that there's between three million and five million units of total iPhone build upside risk for the first half of 2021. That's because the bank's research indicates that build orders for specific iPhone 12 and iPhone 11 models are being revised up, not … [Read more...] about iPhone demand weakness just ‘noise,’ outlook remains strong, analyst says
