Analyst Tom White initiated coverage of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) with a Buy rating and 12-18 month price target of $220.
The Thesis
"SIMPL" refers to social networking, international expansion, mobile, payments and logistics, Forte said in the initiation note. Apple's expertise in these themes in its retail operation is a positive signal for Cupertino's sales and margin outlook, the analyst said.
Social Networking
Apple's "unbelievably powerful brand" ranked first in Interbrand's 2017 list of top global brands, White said. The company's ability to leverage its brand across social networks to market and increase adoption rates could serve as a sales catalyst, he said.
International
Apple could expand its international sales above today's numbers, the analyst said. Over the next decade, emerging markets led by China should expand at a "materially higher" rate than other mature markets like Germany, Japan and the U.K., according to D.A. Davidson.

Mobile
Apple deserves major credit for the emergence of mobile as a significant trend in the retail environment, White said. Of the "SIMPL" categories, mobile represents Apple's best chance of driving incremental revenue growth from increased conversion rates for purchases, the analyst said.
Payment
Apple Pay was introduced to the market in 2014 and makes it easy for consumers to complete a purchase from their mobile devices in stores, White said. This factor is becoming "incredibly important," since mobile conversion rates are one of the most notable challenges in retail today, he said.
Logistics
Giving consumers the ability to buy what they want is meaningless unless the product can also be purchased when and how the consumer wants, White said. Apple's ability to offer consumers one- or two-day shipping — and in certain cases a two-hour delivery option through a courier service — is overshadowed by the company's revenue rate of $220 billion, which is too large to be noticeably impacted through logistic efforts, the analyst said.
Price Action
Apple shares were up 1.76 percent at the time of publication late Tuesday afternoon.
