<p><strong>Piper Sandler </strong>analyst Matt Farrell surveyed around 13,500 teens to see <strong>Apple Inc.</strong>&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) iPhone <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/aapl/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">upgrade expectation among them</a>.</p>
<p>Notably, Apple&nbsp;unveiled the iPhone 16&nbsp;in September, and early pre-order data shows that demand for the iPhone 16 may be lower than expected due to a lack of reasons for existing iPhone owners to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/09/40930388/apple-iphone-16-pre-orders-show-possible-low-demand-one-sign-could-point-to-company-breaking-this-em" rel="noreferrer noopener">upgrade to the latest model</a>.</p>
<p>The analyst&#8217;s survey results indicate that 22% of teens plan to upgrade to an iPhone 16 this Fall/Winter, slightly down from 23% in Fall 2023 and 24% in Fall 2022. However, this is an increase from 20% in the Spring 2024 survey, adds the analyst.</p>
<p>As per the Fall 2024 survey, Farrell notes that 87% of teens owned an iPhone, consistent with historical levels. Additionally, 88% of teens expect their next phone to be an iPhone, aligning with recent survey trends.</p>
<p>Moreover, the analyst writes that only about 30% of teens intend to upgrade any Apple hardware in the next six months due to Apple Intelligence, which seems low considering their enthusiasm.</p>

<p>The analyst notes that the average iPhone among teens is roughly three generations behind the iPhone 16, suggesting these older models may be overdue for an upgrade.</p>
<p>In addition, Farrell says that over 70% of teens own AirPods, and 25% plan to purchase them in the next six months.</p>
<p>Also, more than 30% of teens surveyed own an Apple Watch or iPad, adds the analyst.</p>
<p>The analyst rated the company Neutral with a price target of $225.</p>

<p>Morgan Stanley has upgraded <strong>Affirm Holdings Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AFRM#NASDAQ">AFRM</a>), a payment network operator in the U.S. and Canada, as the company has started implementing strategies to attract <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40654195/affirms-ceo-predicts-bright-future-beating-rivals-like-klarna-as-revenue-soars" rel="noreferrer noopener">higher-income users</a>.</p>
<p>The analyst had previously expressed concerns about Affirm&#8217;s growing customer base, noting that it was becoming more skewed toward lower-income individuals with weaker credit profiles, which could challenge the company&#8217;s long-term growth.</p>
<p>However, Affirm&#8217;s integration with Apple Pay has expanded its reach to a younger, higher-income demographic. Morgan Stanley expects this partnership to generate an additional $1.94 billion in transaction volume by FY26, surpassing the earlier estimate of $1.0-1.5 billion.</p>
<p>The analyst has upgraded Affirm stock from Underweight to Equal-Weight with a price target of $37, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AFRM/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">up from $20</a>.</p>
<p>Morgan Stanley observes that higher-income consumers are often the most responsive to promotional interest rates and is encouraged by Affirm&#8217;s initiatives to strengthen direct sales engagement with manufacturers and merchants.</p>
<p>By enhancing efforts to showcase Affirm&#8217;s ability to boost purchase sizes and improve conversion rates for manufacturers, the analyst anticipates an increase in promotional financing offers throughout FY25, leading to a more positive outlook on engagement with affluent consumers.</p>
<p>Morgan Stanley notes that expanding the availability of lower promotional rate pricing could further enhance Affirm&#8217;s appeal to higher-income consumers—a critical factor in complementing its improved distribution and promotional strategies.</p>
<p>Recently, management has discussed leveraging a lower cost of capital to offer a range of promotional rates beyond 0% (such as 1.99% or 4.99%).</p>
<p>Morgan Stanley notes that more younger consumers now hold credit cards than five years ago, and Affirm, as a Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) provider, is perceived as less trustworthy than established players like PayPal and Apple.</p>
<p>However, the firm highlights that increasing brand awareness could narrow this trust gap, potentially weakening incumbents&#8217; hold on younger consumers.</p>
