Apple stock price target raised by Evercore on expected return to growth in fiscal 2020
Apple Inc. will return to growth in fiscal 2020 and beat earnings estimates for the December quarter following a robust holiday season for AirPods Pro and iPhone 11, Evercore said Wednesday, as it raised its stock price target to $305 from $275. That puts the target in the top tier of analysts on FactSet, where just six of 36 analysts have a target of $300 or higher. Adobe estimates that AirPods were top seller on Black Friday, while Bloomberg has separated reported that AirPods Pro demand exceeded expectations, analysts led by Amit Daryanani wrote in a note to clients. Evercore rates Apple as outperform. "In addition, the iPhone 11 will outperform relatively low expectations as the lower price has been particularly well received in China," said the note. "Also, we think the uptick in carrier promotions could bolster performance in Americas." Looking ahead to next year, Evercore is expecting revenue to grow about 6% as strength in wearables and services offsets declining revenue in other product lines. Apple shares were up 0.8% Wednesday and have gained 72% in 2019, while the S&P 500 has gained 25% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average , which counts Apple as a member, has gained 20%.

Dow slightly lower as stocks open mixed before last Fed meeting of year
U.S. stocks opened mixed on Wednesday ahead of an eagerly awaited policy update by the Federal Reserve which could deliver clues on the interest rate outlook. The S&P 500 was up 0.2% to 3,137. The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 27 points, or 0.1%, to 27,854. The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.2% to 8,630. All three benchmarks ended Tuesday within 1% or less of their record closes set nearly two weeks ago on Nov. 27. The Fed is expected to stand pat but could point to how the interest rate path for next year may shape up. Investors saw signs of an inflation pickup on Wednesday, with consumer prices up 0.3% in November. The prospect for a delay to tariffs would also remain in focus amid comments by White House advisers Larry Kudlow and Peter Navarro who have both suggested import duties could still take place at the end of the week.
