UBS has maintained a Neutral rating on Apple stock with a price target of $210, following the company's March quarter results that met expectations. Despite a 5% increase in revenues and net profit, Apple anticipates low to mid-single-digit revenue growth for the upcoming quarter, impacted by $900 million in tariff costs. Analysts have varied responses, with DA Davidson raising its target to $250 due to strong iPhone sales, while Jefferies downgraded to Underperform at $170.62, citing concerns over declining product margins.
UBS reported a first-quarter profit that exceeded analysts' expectations by around 30%, driven by strong performance in investment banking and a reduction in risk-weighted assets. The equities segment grew by 34% year-on-year, while fixed-income securities rose by 27%. Despite a decline in net interest income and underperformance in personal and corporate banking, the bank plans to initiate a $500 million share buyback this quarter, with an additional $2 billion planned for the second half of 2025.
Shares of 360 ONE WAM rose 4.2% for the second consecutive session following the announcement of its acquisition of UBS' India wealth business. Analysts view the deal as a structural positive for wealth management, enhancing access to institutional clients and providing a competitive edge. Both Jefferies and Citi Research have rated ONEW as a "buy," with a median price target of 1,173 rupees, despite a ~16% decline in the stock so far in 2025.
UBS has initiated coverage on General Mills with a sell recommendation and a target price of $54, citing potential headwinds including a challenging distribution landscape and a forecasted 0.2% decline in organic growth for fiscal 2026. This outlook contrasts with the company's growth target of 2-3% and reflects broader market sentiment, as 15 analysts have downgraded earnings forecasts. Other concerns include the impact of reinvestments and a divestiture in the yogurt business, leading to expectations of below-average future earnings.
Brokerages are optimistic about select stocks, highlighting strong growth potential and favorable sector trends for the next year. UBS maintains a Buy rating on Power Finance Corporation despite a slight AUM miss, while Jefferies supports Jubilant FoodWorks for its solid sales growth. Siemens is favored for its performance in energy and mobility, despite challenges in the digital segment.
Broadcom is poised for significant growth in the AI semiconductor market, with Jefferies naming it a top pick for 2025 and raising its price target to $300. Barclays has upgraded Broadcom to Overweight, projecting a price target of $260, driven by its advanced custom silicon solutions. The company boasts a strong Smart Score of 8, indicating potential for outperformance, as hedge funds increased their holdings by over 520,000 shares last quarter.
Bernstein SocGen Group has revised Nestlé SA's price target to CHF73 from CHF80, maintaining a Market Perform rating amid concerns over rising commodity prices affecting future earnings. Despite a recent de-rating, the stock is viewed as slightly undervalued, trading at an EV/EBITDA of 12.99x, with strong profitability and a history of dividend increases. Analysts are closely monitoring the upcoming AGM in April for potential board changes that could impact stock performance.
Analysts have made several notable adjustments to their recommendations and price targets for various companies. Allianz sees a downgrade from Jefferies, while Euronext and Fnac Darty receive upgrades. Kering remains underweight, and UBS Group's rating shifts from Outperform to Neutral. Other companies like Lonza and Soitec also see target price increases.
