Angela Palumbo for Barron’s:

Apple is expected to provide guidance for the current quarter on the earnings call. Analysts are looking for the company to forecast earnings of at least $1.55 a share on revenue of $93.36 billion.

Evercore ISI analyst Amit Daryanani wrote in a research note on Monday that “Apple looks well positioned to deliver a modest beat in the Jun-qtr and guide Sept-qtr inline to likely ahead of street expectations.” Daryanani rates the stock as Outperform with a $250 price target.

TD Cowen analyst Krish Snakar rates Apple shares Buy with a $250 price target. He expects results to be in-line with expectations…

BofA Securities analyst Wamsi Mohan, who rates the stock Buy with a $256 price target, wrote in a note on Monday that the June quarter results are “less relevant to the longer term opportunity.” Mohan said investors are mostly looking for what management has to say regarding coming AI-powered iPhones, revenue growth in China, and any commentary on market share in a competitive environment.
