Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty reiterated her view that services is fast becoming Apple's primary growth driver, adding that investors "need to recognize" that Apple is structurally different than it was just five years ago. She thinks the Services business is being undervalued by investors, projecting that by FY22 it will account for 27% of Apple revenue and just under 40% of gross profit dollars. Huberty, who shifted her valuation methodology for Apple to a sum-of-the-parts approach, raised her price target on the stock to $214 from $200 and maintains an Overweight rating on the shares.
