Jefferies downgrades Apple citing costs and iPhone delays, but strong earnings and growth challenge the call.

Jefferies downgraded Apple from Hold to Underperform with a $263.66 target, citing rising memory costs and the cancellation of an all-glass iPhone. However, Apple just reported its strongest June quarter ever with revenue up 16.4% to $109.42 billion and record iPhone and Services sales, defying the downgrade thesis. Analysts and insiders dispute the cost concerns and confirm the all-glass iPhone redesign is still on track for 2027. Despite Jefferies' bearish stance, most market consensus remains positive with a higher average price target and strong institutional buying, reflecting confidence in Apple's growth and product pipeline.
