The firm is adjusting its 2024-2026 estimates for the company’s iPhone revenue, unit sales, and average selling prices – ASPs – lower while also noting that the assumed 32-times forward earnings multiple on the stock is at the higher end of its post-COVID 20- to 35-times multiple range, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
