ウェドブッシュ証券によると、アップルの力強い売上高見通しは、Macの供給制約にもかかわらず発表されたものだ。

By

-- アップル(AAPL)の第3四半期(2023年度)の売上高見通しは、Macモデルの供給制約が今後数ヶ月続く見込みであるにもかかわらず、ウォール街の予想を大きく上回ったと、ウェドブッシュ証券は金曜日に発表した。 木曜日遅く、このテクノロジー大手は、6月期の売上高が前年同期比14~17%増加すると予想していると発表した。ウェドブッシュ証券は、市場コンセンサス予想を9%としている。 ウェドブッシュ証券のアナリスト、ダン・アイブス氏は顧客向けレポートの中で、この力強い見通しは同社の決算説明会における「ハイライト」だったと述べた。 「iPhone 17のスーパーサイクルは、ほぼすべての主要地域で勢いを増し続けており、9月のiPhone 18発売に向けて大きな勢いを増している」とアイブス氏は記した。 アップル株は金曜午後の取引で4.2%上昇した。年初来の上昇率は3.9%となっている。 ウェドブッシュ証券は、アップルの第3四半期の売上高見通しを1,000億3,000万ドルから1,081億6,000万ドルに引き上げた。 FactSetの調査によるコンセンサス予想は1,062億3,000万ドルです。 FactSetの議事録によると、ティム・クック最高経営責任者(CEO)は木曜夜の決算説明会でアナリストに対し、「(6月期の)供給制約の大部分は、引き続き高い需要が続いていることと、サプライチェーンの柔軟性が通常よりも低いことを考慮すると、複数のMacモデルで発生するだろう」と述べました。 「Mac miniとMac Studioは、需給バランスが取れるまで数ヶ月かかる可能性がある」とクック氏は付け加えました。 Appleの第2四半期決算は、iPhoneの売上高が予想を上回ったことで、市場予想を上回りました。 先月、同社は社内出身のジョン・ターナス氏が9月にCEOに就任し、クック氏の後任となることを発表しました。クック氏は会長職に就任する予定です。 「今回の移行により、6月初旬にApple Parkで開催される世界開発者会議(WWDC)は、近年で最も重要な開発者会議となるでしょう。テクノロジー業界は、待望のパーソナライズされたSiri、拡張されたApple Intelligence機能、そしてGoogle Geminiとの提携に関する詳細情報に注目しています」と、アイブス氏は金曜日に述べた。「iPhone 17が好調な売れ行きを見せ、中国市場が明確な追い風となり、6月の業績見通しが市場予想を大きく上回り、WWDCに向けてTernusが経営を担おうとしている今、すべてはAI戦略にかかっています。」 ウェドブッシュ証券は、Apple株の投資判断を「アウトパフォーム」に据え置き、目標株価を350ドルとした。

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Strong Sell Opinion On Shares Of Sna

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We trim our 12-month target to $325 from $330, as we revise our outlook lower following Q1 earnings. Our updated target values shares at 15.5x our 2027 EPS outlook of $21.12 (down from $21.28; 2026 EPS updated to $19.63 from $19.91), in line with SNA's long-term historical multiple average but below industrial machinery peers. Our Strong Sell view is unchanged following SNA's Q1 print. Margin contraction seen in the first quarter is not an existential threat for SNA, though we believe that earnings growth will be largely limited without underlying profitability inflecting higher. Tariffs and rising material costs ate into SNA's bottom-line during Q1, though organic sales growth was more of a positive. Demand headwinds with OEM dealerships contributed to our revision in EPS growth assumptions for 2026 and 2027, with Repair Systems now set to be less of a contributor to organic sales expansion, in our view.

Cava Could Beat Quarterly Same-Store Sales Views, Lift 2026 Outlook Amid Continued Momentum, RBC Says

Cava Group's (CAVA) first-quarter same-store sales are expected to top Wall Street's estimates amid continued momentum, which could prompt the company to raise its full-year outlook, RBC Capital Markets said in a note e-mailed Friday.The brokerage projects the fast-casual restaurant chain's same-store sales for the quarter to rise 6%, while the Street is looking for 5.9% growth, according to the RBC note to clients. Cava is scheduled to report results May 19."Thus far this earnings season, restaurant winners (and) losers have largely been defined by sensitivity to (the Middle East) conflict-related macro headwinds," RBC analyst Logan Reich said. "For Cava, we don't think their traffic is materially impacted, where their relatively high-income consumer exposure should insulate them from higher gas prices."Energy prices have jumped as the US-Israel war with Iran has curtailed shipments through the crucial Strait of Hormuz. The war, which started at the end of February, paused following a recent ceasefire between Washington and Tehran, though a framework for a permanent truce is yet to be reached.US retail gasoline prices averaged $4.392 per gallon Friday, compared with $3.187 a year ago, according to data from AAA, a travel organization that tracks fuel prices in the country.Cava started the year with comparable sales momentum, which could continue through 2026 amid "menu innovation, digital improvements, and easing compares," Reich said. These factors could help drive upward revisions to the company's own full-year outlook for same-store sales to grow between 3% and 5%, which the brokerage said was "conservative."RBC raised its price target on Cava's stock to $100 from $90 with an outperform rating.The company's shares were down 2.5% in Friday late-afternoon trade. So far in 2026, the stock has surged 56%.Despite the shares' significant year-to-date outperformance, RBC said it's leaning "constructive" into Cava's upcoming results."We theorize there's potential consumer reversion towards the fast-casual category this year, as consumers could increasingly prioritize healthier (and) wellness, which Cava should benefit from, following a material slowdown across the category in (2025) as quick-service chains took share driven by incremental value offerings," Reich said.Price: $91.09, Change: $-2.33, Percent Change: -2.49%
