“NEW YORK (dpa-AFX Analyser) – Die US-Bank JPMorgan hat das Kursziel fur Apple von 350 auf 335 US-Dollar gesenkt und die Einstufung auf “Overweight” belassen. Angesichts der Beschrankungen in den Apple-Filialen
seien die Erwartungen an den Absatz im zweiten und tendenziell auch im dritten Quartal gesunken, schrieb Analyst Samik Chatterjee in einer am Mittwoch vorliegenden Studie. Entsprechend deutlich habe er seine Umsatzerwartungen fur das zweite Quartal gesenkt. Das Online-Geschaft durfte die Ausfalle im Filialhandel nicht ganzlich ausgleichen./mf/bek
