UBS Raises Apple (AAPL) Target to $280 Amid Strong Outlook

Apple reported $49 billion in iPhone revenue, up 6% year-over-year but slightly below UBS’s forecast. Supply issues may have delayed some sales to the December quarter. Over the past year, Apple’s total revenue reached $408.62 billion, growing nearly 6%.

Looking ahead, Apple expects double-digit iPhone growth and a 10%–12% increase in overall revenue for the December quarter. Services are projected to grow 14%. Gross margin guidance rose to 47%–48%, helped by reduced China tariffs, though operating expenses are expected to climb 18.5%, which could weigh on profitability.
