三言财经2025-01-21

According to Sanyan Technology on January 21, Jefferies analyst Edison Lee recently stated in his latest report that...AppleThe investment rating was downgraded to "sell" and the target price was set at $200.75.

The rating downgrade was primarily due to weak iPhone demand, uncertainty about AI monetization capabilities, and concerns about investment in WMCM packaging technology.

Analysts predict that Apple's upcoming fourth-quarter 2024 earnings report may be lackluster, with iPhone shipment forecasts lowered from 1% growth to 2%.
