Apple shares surged on Wednesday after the computer and iPhone maker was downgraded by HSBC analysts, who remained skeptical about the company’s outlook for the company computer hardware and see this take the longer transition to services.
In a customer research letter, HSBC announced on Wednesday that it had downgraded Apple, noting that the company’s center on migrating to services such as Apple’s card and streaming content would take longer to produce results. A discount note is the equivalent of a sale. The company has a target price of $180 in stock.
This is the second time in 4 months that HSBC has reduced its projections to Apple: in early December the bank relegated Apple not to be afraid of the iPhone’s slowdown, including confidence in a single product and sluggish sales in emerging markets.
HSBC was not the only research agency weighing on Wednesday. Bank of America analysts have a different view of their price target of $220 to $210, based on the iPhone’s higher sales expectations.
