Apple 's latest factory troubles mean downside ahead to estimates for the technology giant's December quarter, analysts say. The company also warned of fewer units shipped and longer wait times for customers. The statement has led to concerns that the company may sell fewer units in the December quarter or struggle to make enough to satisfy demand. While the disruption pushes lead times out by a week, they could extend even further, JPMorgan's Samik Chatterjee said in a note to clients Monday. Bank of America's Wamsi Mohan trimmed Apple estimates for the December quarter and cut his price target on the stock to $154 from $160 a share.
Apple 's quarterly results proved to analysts that the iPhone maker's stock is the place to hide when a recession hits. Wells Fargo's Aaron Rakers called Apple the "bright spot amid mega-cap carnage" in a note to clients Thursday as the company shared "better-than-feared" results even in this troublesome macro environment. Credit Suisse's Shannon Cross said the stock is a "safe haven" and "relatively safe port in the storm" in a note to clients Thursday. JPMorgan Chase's Samik Chatterjee said the results underscore Apple's resilience and should further entice investors to buy the stock.

The Bank of America analyst who made waves Thursday by downgrading Apple said his decision was based on the tech giant's decision not to upgrade chips in the iPhone 14 series. "That is a real departure from from prior generations," analyst Wamsi Mohan told "Squawk on the Street" when talking about the chips. The firm also lowered its price target on the stock to $160 per share. While that implies an upside of 7%, the previous price target of $185 positioned the stock for a gain of more than 23%. His souring sentiment on the stock also stems from the increasingly tumultuous economic environment consumers find themselves in, he told CNBC.
Apple got a rare downgrade Thursday, with Bank of America lowering its rating on the tech giant to neutral from buy, citing incremental risks to the company's earnings going forward. The bank also slashed its price target on the stock to $160 per share, implying upside of about 7%. Bank of America's old target of $185 pointed to a more than 23% gain. Apple is down 15.6% year to date, outperforming the S & P 500 in that time, which has fallen nearly 22%. Bank of America sees many short-term risks to Apple given a weaker macroeconomic outlook.
There are early signs that the most expensive versions of Apple 's iPhone 14 are a hit with customers, according to a widely followed tech analyst. Ming-Chi Kuo, a longtime Apple analyst, wrote in a post on Medium that the Pro models of the new iPhone 14 are proving popular with customers, potentially boosting the tech giant's profit margin. According to Kuo, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is currently the most popular model in the new lineup, accounting for roughly a third of iPhone 14 shipments. On Apple's website, the standard iPhone 14 starts at $799. The iPhone 14 Pro starts at $999, and the Max version begins at $1,090.
There is a divergent picture of demand developing for Apple 's newest lineup of iPhones, according to Bank of America. But that appetite does not appear to exist down the lineup, where the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus have shrunken wait times compared with prior years. This could be driving customers to shift into the iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max models which bodes well for mix and ASP, in our opinion. However, this might also suggest weaker demand overall for iPhone 14, which could be concerning," Mohan wrote. That change and component shortages could be impacting the year-to-year comparisons of shipping times, Mohan cautioned.
