Apple Likely to Post Slight Fiscal Q2 Upside, 'Solid' June Guidance, UBS Says

Apple (AAPL) is likely to post a slight upside to fiscal Q2 estimates driven by iPhone and Mac demand, with no upside to services segment revenue growth estimates due to muted App Store performance, UBS Securities said in a research note Monday.Management is also expected to issue a "solid" guidance for the June quarter as elevated memory prices and Apple's ability to secure sufficient supply of silicon is driving smartphone share gains for the iPhone, according to the note.The brokerage said it expects fiscal Q2 earnings per share of $1.94 on revenue of $109 billion, which already prices in the robust demand for Neo and Mac mini models. For fiscal Q3, UBS said it raised its EPS estimate to $1.70 from $1.59, and its revenue forecast to $102 billion from $98.1 billion. The company is due to report fiscal Q2 results on April 30.Demand for the Mac portfolio partly driven by initial success of the relatively lower-priced Neo as well as the mini model should drive incremental upside to forecasts, the brokerage said.UBS Securities boosted its price target to $287 per share from $280 and reiterated its neutral rating on the stock.Price: $269.62, Change: $+2.00, Percent Change: +0.75%

S&P 500 Companies' Quarterly Profit Growth Eases, But Remains Well Above Expectations, Oppenheimer Says

S&P 500 companies' quarterly earnings growth decelerated compared with figures from a week ago, but remained well ahead of expectations, Oppenheimer Asset Management's data showed Monday.Some 28% of companies in the benchmark equity index have reported results in the latest cycle, with earnings up about 25% from a year earlier and revenue growing 10%. Last week's report by the brokerage showed profit growth of 32% and sales increase of 13%, based on financials reported by 9% of the index constituents.Ahead of the reporting season, FactSet put expected earnings growth at 12.6% from a year earlier, according to Oppenheimer."The quarter appears to be off to a strong start," Oppenheimer Asset Management Chief Investment Strategist John Stoltzfus said, noting that earnings growth reported by 79% of the firms that have released their quarterly results exceeded analyst estimates.Among sectors, materials and technology outperformed in terms of earnings, with profit roughly doubling year over year. Tech led the chart for revenue growth, with a nearly 30% increase, followed by real estate's 14% jump.This week, a busier earnings calendar has 179 S&P companies releasing their quarterly financials, according to Oppenheimer. Among the big-cap companies reporting this week are five of the so-called Magnificent 7 stocks; Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN) and Meta Platforms (META).Visa (V), Coca-Cola (KO), T-Mobile US (TMUS), and Eli Lilly (LLY) also report this week.On Friday, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite hit all-time peaks as tech stocks rallied, ahead of a second round of US-Iran peace talks. The two sides, however, didn't have direct negotiations in Pakistan over the weekend."Resolution to the conflict in our view persists as a potential negative overhang to market performance on a day-to-day basis tied to news flows from the front, developments in negotiations taking place and supply chain disruptions that carry inflation risks," Stoltzfus said. "That said, stocks are showing thus far an appreciation for fundamentals that matter to revenue and profit growth."Price: $349.73, Change: $+7.41, Percent Change: +2.16%

US Equity Investors to Focus on Mag-7 Earnings, Possibility of Iran War Resolution This Week

US equity investors will focus on mega-cap earnings this week alongside geopolitical developments, especially any possibility of a deal to end the Iran war.* Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Meta Platforms (META), and Apple (AAPL), five out of the seven so-called Magnificent-7 companies will report quarterly earnings this week alongside scores of others. Last week, Intel's (INTC) blowout Q1 reflected the scale of demand for artificial intelligence-related products and services, boosting the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite to record highs.* US President Donald Trump on Sunday reportedly said Iranian authorities "can call" if they want to talk, while reiterating the war could "come to an end very soon." This statement from Trump comes after the president canceled his envoys' trip to Pakistan over the weekend to negotiate a peace deal with Iran.* In the absence of any face-to-face discussions in Pakistan, Iran offered a proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war, Axios cited a US official and two people with knowledge of the matter in a news report. That proposal, however, includes postponing nuclear negotiations between the two countries, according to the Axios report.* Meanwhile, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is in Russia ahead of a meeting with President Vladimir Putin to discuss the conflict with the US, after Tehran's top diplomat visited with key mediators Pakistan and Oman over the weekend, CNN reported Monday.* The Federal Reserve on Wednesday is certain to keep the federal funds range unchanged at 3.5% to 3.75%, according to the CME FedWatch tool.* Data due this week includes the personal consumption expenditures price index, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge for March, the ISM survey on manufacturing and services activity in April, the Q1 employment cost index, the Q1 gross domestic product advance estimate, and durable goods orders for March.
