Apple downgraded to Hold on downside risk to Q3 revenues

Loop Capital downgraded Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) to Hold from Buy with a price target of $180.00.

The firm sees a material downside risk to revenue (both iPhone and overall) estimates for Q3, relative to both the company’s guidance and Street forecasts.

According to the firm, Apple will likely cut its Q3 builds and shipments by about 10%, and iPhone shipments will be likely down 5 million to 35M on weaker demand. This is incremental to management’s reduced Q3 guidance earlier this month.

Revolve downgraded on lack of near-term catalysts

TD Cowen downgraded Revolve Group (NYSE:RVLV) to Market Perform from Outperform and cut its price target to $19.00 from $30.00 as it sees a lack of near-term catalysts.

While labeling Revolve as the "hottest Gen Z retailer,” the firm said that growth has cooled, and it sees the stock as rangebound in the near term.

Earlier this month, the company reported its Q1 results, highlighted by a revenue miss and moderating active customer count growth (trailing 12 months, or TTM) as macro pressure weighs on consumers.
