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."

Morgan Stanley raises AAPL to $164 on Q1 2021 results, says Q2 outlook is strong
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.

Morgan Stanley raises AAPL to $144 on iPhone 12 strength in China
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.

iPhone demand weakness just ‘noise,’ outlook remains strong, analyst says
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

For long-term investors, it is a good time to buy By Ngoc Tran Le Hong Lien, head of Institutional Research at Maybank Kim Eng Securities HCMC - The Vietnamese stock markets is in a roller-coaster rideas volatility is back, but for Le Hong Lien, head of Institutional Research at Maybank Kim Eng Securities, it is still a good time to buy, especially for long-term investors. The Saigon Times spoke with Lien. The Saigon Times: A few days ago, the Fed raised the U.S. interest rates again, and now we are feeling its impact. Most local stocks are down. Will this impact continue into 2019 or is it merely short-lived? - Le Hong Lien: Fairly speaking, the VN-Index (of the Hochiminh Stock Exchange) had edged up over the past few days. I attribute that more to some expectation that there would be some positive movement of the VN-Index itself towards the end of the year, especially when the Government continues to provide quite a positive guidance to next year of … [Read more...] about For long-term investors, it is a good time to buy

This is to not only achieve equality but also ameliorate the investment environment. While on a business trip in late March, our boss sent us managers in Vietnam an email informing about the power price hike and asking us to calculate how the rise would affect our company. The boss got the news from the association of U.S. companies in Vietnam. On the same day, we received an official notification from the electricity utility, saying that the power tariff would jump as of March 20 by almost 8% from the current rates. I soon multiplied the … [Read more...] about Equality in power supply and consumption
