BARCLAYS cut the rating from Equal Weight to Under Weight on following charges:
- Weak results

- Service-related risks will be higher
- Sales Volume mix and slower demand
- China risks
- Insufficient guidance from rest of emerging markets
- Reversal/slower growth in App Store business
The Bank has revised the price target to 160$ per share means potential 15-17% further (downside) risk.

Apple has performed well in past 5 years (400% jump) and it’s business is growing well in the emerging markets.
