BofA lowered the firm’s price target on Apple (AAPL) to $235 from $240 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares after earnings, noting that Apple gave overall company revenue guidance for the June quarter, but did not provide the usual growth commentary at the product and services levels given the high degree of uncertainty. Apple was able to optimize supply chain and inventory in the March quarter so that tariffs had a limited impact, but guided the June quarter to see an increase of $900M to costs, net of one-time items, noted the analyst, who is taking a “relatively cautious view” into gross margins for the remainder of the calendar year and models further deterioration beyond the June quarter. The firm’s FY25 revenue and EPS forecasts move to $407.7B and $7.13 from $412.3B and $7.25, respectively, following the company’s fiscal Q2 report.
