October 21, 2014 6:47 AM

Macquarie analyst Ben Schachter reiterated an Outperform rating and boosted his price target on Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) to $118.00 (from $104.00) following strong Q4 results and outlook.

Schachter commented, "AAPL continues to execute. As expected, iPhone rev was very strong, up 16% y/y. Importantly, AAPL indicated that iPhone may remain supply constrained through the end of the year even as the company is on track to exceed 100mm iPhones in just 6 mos. That is remarkable. As for the other businesses, Mac was also surprisingly strong, up 18%, while Apps continue to be the fastest growing and highest margin AAPL business, up 36% y/y. iPads remain weak, down 14%."

FY’15 revenue rises 6% & EPS rises ~9%.
