Investing.com – Apple (NASDAQ:) was higher in midday trade on Monday after an analyst at Raymond James increased his price target for the tech giant.

Chris Caso boosted his price target to $280 from $250, maintaining a rating of outperform. He said that he sees “more stable near-term conditions” due to the iPhone 11.
