Oracle Investment Research Cuts PT on Apple (AAPL), Cook Should Be Held Accountable
Oracle Investment Research lowered its price target on Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) from $670 to $650 but kept a Strong Buy rating following Q1 results.
While still positive on the stock, analyst Laurence Balter ripped into CEO Tim Cook.
"Any Chairman in America who sits idle while $200 billion in shareholder wealth is wiped away should be held accountable... We ask a logical question then. If business is so good, and the Apple story continued to grow, why wasn't the dividend increased or a buyback announced? Shareholders now have three choices, buy more, sell or write the Board."
