On pages 2-5, we present our most recent proprietary survey data, based on which we expect FY20E (Sept) iPhone units to decline 3% y/y.

HSBC downgraded AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile to ‘hold’ from ‘buy’
HSBC downgraded the telecom stocks due to pricing & product changes from AT&T and “shifts” in the content generation/distribution areas.
“Time to be more choosy: After our review encompassing strategic, financial and valuation metrics, we downgrade AT&T, Altice USA, Verizon and TMUS to Hold from Buy. We retain our only Buy on Comcast. We retain our Hold on Charter, seeing the potential for a stock buyback as a key support. Sprint and DISH remain our least preferred stocks with Reduce ratings. We also update our fair value target prices.”
