Cassels Brock & Blackwell Partner Tayyaba Khan Says With Equity Funding, Companies Get Benefit Of Liquidity And Can Allocate Funding Towards R&D And Day-to-Day Operations; Says Disadvantage Is Companies Now Share Profits With New Investor, Investors Can Have Influence Over Company

KeyBanc analyst Brandon Nispel said his September Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) iPhone carrier survey was slightly weaker, and Key First Look Data results were better.
The analyst&#8217;s carrier survey indicates that iPhone 16 sales in September were slightly below store expectations and normal seasonal trends.
Demand for the iPhone 16 Pro and Max remained relatively healthy, owing to camera upgrades, but the base models were still weaker.

Store inventories are down to one day inventory outstanding&nbsp;(DOI), above prior year levels at launch. Apple AI was still a non-factor in driving near-term demand.
Key First Look Data reflects an increase in iPhone demand, with Apple Store iPhone spending growth of 15% year-on-year during the first ten days of launch and 7% growth Y/Y during the launch weekend.
Nispel&#8217;s Key First Look Data shows indexed spending growth of 22% M/M in September, above the three-year average of 2%.
The Y/Y indexed spending accelerated to 7% from a 10% decline in August. In addition, when comparing the first ten days of new iPhone availability versus the comparable prior year, results were 12% Y/Y, though tailed off quickly.
The analyst noted that the results benefitted from an additional two days of iPhone availability compared to the prior year. In addition, he noted a benefit to iPhone 15 sales before the launch of iPhone 16 and initial demand that was modestly better Y/Y.
Nispel noted that his combined September carrier survey and Key First Look results were neutral for the Apple supply chain, which included Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Cirrus Logic, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRUS#NASDAQ">CRUS</a>), Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>), Qorvo, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QRVO#NASDAQ">QRVO</a>) and Skyworks Solutions, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWKS#NASDAQ">SWKS</a>).
Nispel maintained his Overweight rating and a price target of $210 on Broadcom based on 36 times his fiscal 2025 consolidated EPS of $5.90. Broadcom is trading at a forward consensus P/E of 29 times, compared to a three-year historical average of 18.
The analyst reiterated his Overweight rating on Cirrus Logic with a price target of $165, based on 19 times his fiscal 2026 EPS estimate of $8.65. Cirrus Logic is trading at a consensus P/E of 16 times compared to its three-year historical forward consensus P/E of 14.
He maintained his estimates and Sector Weight rating on Qualcomm, which has a fair value of $167, based on 15 times his fiscal 2025 EPS of $10.89. Qualcomm is trading at a forward consensus P/E of 15 times, compared to a three-year historical average of 13.
Nispel reiterated his Sector Weight rating on Qorvo, which has a fair value of $100, based on 14 times his fiscal 2026 EPS estimate of $6.95. Qorvo is trading at 13 times consensus forward P/E, compared to a three-year historical average of 13.
The analyst remained Sector Weight on Skyworks Solutions with a fair value of $95, based on 15 times his 2025 EPS estimate of $6.25. Skyworks Solutions is trading at a forward P/E of 15 times, compared to a three-year historical average of 11.
Nispel&#8217;s $216 fair value on Apple is based on 21.8 times his 2025 adjusted EBITDA versus big tech comps of ~18.5 times. Apple currently trades at ~22.7 times his 2025 adjusted EBITDA.

Genmab A/S Sponsored ADR (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gmab#NASDAQ">GMAB</a>) has been beaten down lately with too much selling pressure. While the stock has lost 14.7% over the past four weeks, there is light at the end of the tunnel as it is now in oversold territory and Wall Street analysts expect the company to report better earnings than they predicted earlier.
<h2>How to Determine if a Stock is Oversold</h2>
We use Relative Strength Index (RSI), one of the most commonly used technical indicators, for spotting whether a stock is oversold. This is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements.
RSI oscillates between zero and 100. Usually, a stock is considered oversold when its RSI reading falls below 30.
Technically, every stock oscillates between being overbought and oversold irrespective of the quality of their fundamentals. And the beauty of RSI is that it helps you quickly and easily check if a stock&#39;s price is reaching a point of reversal.
So, by this measure, if a stock has gotten too far below its fair value just because of unwarranted selling pressure, investors may start looking for entry opportunities in the stock for benefitting from the inevitable rebound.
However, like every investing tool, RSI has its limitations, and should not be used alone for making an investment decision.
<h2>Why GMAB Could Bounce Back Before Long</h2>
The heavy selling of GMAB shares appears to be in the process of exhausting itself, as indicated by its RSI reading of 22.22. So, the trend for the stock could reverse soon for reaching the old equilibrium of supply and demand.
<img alt="3-month RSI Chart for GMAB" class="chart" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/yseop/544/GMAB_RCI14.jpeg" style="height:auto; width:100%" title="" />
The RSI value is not the only factor that indicates a potential turnaround for the stock in the near term. On the fundamental side, there has been strong agreement among the sell-side analysts covering the stock in raising earnings estimates for the current year. Over the last 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for GMAB has increased 5.3%. And an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions usually translates into price appreciation in the near term.
Moreover, GMAB currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which means it is in the top 20% of more than the 4,000 stocks that we rank based on trends in earnings estimate revisions and EPS surprises. This is a more conclusive indication of the stock&#39;s potential turnaround in the near term.

Piper Sandler analyst Patrick Moley said the volatile trading environment drives third-quarter outperformance for exchange and trading companies, leading to a strong backdrop for retail brokers.
Moley maintained Robinhood Markets Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) with an Overweight rating and a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HOOD/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">$27&nbsp;price target</a>.
Despite Net Interest Income headwinds from the lower rate environment, Moley noted several distinctive near-term opportunities for Robinhood Markets that should help drive continued earnings growth.
On October 16, Robinhood Markets is hosting an active trader summit in Miami, Florida. The analyst expects the company to introduce its new web-based trading platform and reveal a launch date for the roll-out of index options and futures trading to its 24 million customers.
He expects these new products to increase trading velocity among Robinhood Markets&#8217; existing customer base and index options and futures trading to be priced lower than competitor platforms. Moley noted that this should drive market share gains for Robinhood Markets in the high Average Revenue Per User (ARPU), web-based active trader segment that accounts for nearly 50% of the retail market where Robinhood Markets has zero exposure today.
Moley expects the fiscal third quarter of 2024 to be the second strongest quarter in Robinhood Markets&#8217; history in terms of both revenues and adjusted EBITDA. The analyst expects total revenues to increase 43% year-on-year (&lt;1% Q/Q), driven by Y/Y increases across all major revenue lines.
Within transaction-based revenues, he expects Robinhood Markets&#8217; crypto trading revenue to increase by 184% Y/Y (-19% Q/Q), driven by continued substantial trading volumes and net deposit growth.
Moley expects higher rates for most of the quarter and higher customer balances to push a 20% Y/Y (+6% Q/Q) increase in NII. The analyst&#8217;s adjusted EPS estimate of $0.17 in the third quarter would represent the second-highest quarterly EPS for Robinhood Markets since the fiscal second quarter of 2020.
Moley reiterated a Neutral rating on Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/coin/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price target of&nbsp;$245.</a>
The analyst expects total revenues to increase by 88% Y/Y (-12% Q/Q) to $1.27 billion in the third quarter. The Y/Y increase is driven by a combination of higher volumes driving higher Transaction revenues, higher crypto prices driving higher blockchain reward revenues, and higher interest rates &amp; higher USDC market cap driving higher NII.
Moley expects transaction revenues in the third quarter to increase 118% Y/Y (-19% Q/Q) as a ~158% Y/Y increase in trading volumes is only modestly offset by an estimated ~2.5bp decrease in the blended fee capture.
The analyst forecasted an adjusted EBITDA of $782 million in the third quarter, up from $596 million in the second quarter.
