Brian White of Drexel Hamilton believes Apple Inc. AAPL remains one of the best positioned tech companies to benefit from spending trends this holiday season with a well-received iPhone 7/7 Plus, a new Apple Watch and a new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar.
The comments came as Apple kicked off Black Friday discount sale after skipping it last year. Apple’s traditional "one-day shopping event" for today comes with Apple Gift Card discounts across products such as the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac and Apple TV.
White has a Buy rating on Apple, with $185 target price.
Following are the list of discounts offered by the Cupertino, California-based company for its various products at its one-day event:
iPhone
Apple is offering an implied discount of 6 percent to 9 percent for iPhones. Apple is offering $25 and $50 Apple Gift Cards across select SIM-free iPhones, including the iPhone SE ($25 Apple Gift Card), iPhone 6s ($50) and iPhone 6s Plus ($50).
