Apple’s Rating Maintained at Outperform

Evercore ISI analysts reiterated their Outperform rating and $220 price target on Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), highlighting that App Store revenue grew 12% in May, up from 9% in April, with EU App Store revenues increasing by 25% in May.

This growth exceeded expectations and reinforced Evercore’s conviction that Apple's Services segment can sustain double-digit growth. The analysts believe that as long as growth remains in the high single to low double digits, the Services business should comfortably achieve the consensus estimate of 11% growth.

The App Store and Google payment are likely the largest components of Services, with newer, faster-growing services contributing to overall growth.
