Wedbush lowered the firm’s price target on Apple (AAPL) to $250 from $325 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares.

The firm says the current tariff slate with China at 54% and Taiwan at 32% “would be devastating to Apple, its cost structure, and ultimately consumer demand.” Wedbush, however, maintains a longer term positive view on Apple shares citing the company’s strong free cash flow and the growth of its Services business.
