Apple (AAPL) Bucking Another Analyst Price Target Cut

Apple Store

Apple (AAPL) shares gained roughly 0.5% in late morning trading along with the broader market, despite a price target cut at Canaccord Genuity. While the firm maintained a ‘Buy’ rating, it lowered its AAPL target to $120 from $130, noting a lower replacement iPhone rate through September as consumers delay upgrading their devices ahead of the anticipated iPhone 7 launch. The firm however, anticipates recovering sales with the iPhone 7 launch.

Canaccord’s price target cut on Apple to $120, represents a 25% upside from its current trading price.
