  • 1. Fundamental Research analysts commented, "Fundamental Research Corp has issued a report entitled “Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) FY2020 EPS Missed Our Estimate by 0.04%” and dated October 30, 2020. The full report is now at www.researchfrc.com." (10/30/2020)
  • 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Apple shares have outperformed the S&P 500 year to date. The company is benefiting from continued momentum in the Services segment, driven by a robust performance of App Store, Apple Music, video, and cloud services. Moreover, Apple devices also continued to gain traction among enterprises, particularly healthcare providers. The company expects fiscal fourth-quarter iPhone sales to benefit from strong demand for iPhone SE. Further, Apple stated that sale of new iPhones will begin a few weeks later against the usual late September. It also expects iPad and Mac to post strong year-over-year growth but lower economic activity will hurt AppleCare and advertising businesses. Moreover, increasing scrutiny and legal woes over App Store is a headwind. The company didn’t provide any guidance due to the pandemic-triggered uncertainty." (9/29/2020)

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. analysts commented, "NEW YORK (dpa-AFX Analyser) – Die US-Investmentbank Goldman Sachs hat Apple von Neutral" auf Sell" abgestuft und das Kursziel von 250 auf 233 US-Dollar gesenkt.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. analysts commented, "NEW YORK (dpa-AFX Analyser) – Die US-Bank JPMorgan hat das Kursziel fur Apple von 350 auf 335 US-Dollar gesenkt und die Einstufung auf Overweight" belassen.
