Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) will likely highlight the performance of its iPhone 16 and upcoming product releases when the company reports fourth-quarter financial results <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">after market close Thursday. </a>
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect the Cupertino, California-based company to report fourth-quarter revenue of $94.56 billion, up from $89.5 billion in last year's fourth quarter, according to data <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent103024&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">from Benzinga Pro.</a>
Apple has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in six straight quarters and nine of the last 10 quarters overall.

Analysts expect the company to report fourth-quarter earnings per share of $1.53, up from $1.46 reported in last year's fourth quarter. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in six straight quarters and nine of the last 10 quarters overall.
What Analysts Are Saying: The iPhone 16 will be one of the key items analysts are watching in the earnings report and conference call.
"iPhone 16 demand has been relatively stable year-over-year and better-than-feared given more cautious data points around shorter lead-times relative to year-ago and production cuts," Goldman Sachs analyst Michael Ng <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41554508/apple-q4-earnings-preview-goldman-sachs-analyst-anticipates-big-earnings-beat-resilient-iphone-16-d">recently said.</a>
Ng reiterated a Buy rating on Apple with a $275 price target recently.
The analyst said Apple's push into artificial intelligence with Apple Intelligence could be a "long-term demand driver."
Another area Ng will be watching closely in Apple's report is the company's Services segment, which could be underestimated by investors.
"Apple&#8217;s installed base growth, secular growth in services, and new product innovation should more than offset cyclical headwinds to product revenue, such as a reduced iPhone unit demand due to a lengthening replacement cycle and reduced consumer demand for the PC &amp; tablet category."
Lower lead times for the iPhone 16 could signal a lack of demand for the newest version of the popular Apple smartphone, Morgan Stanley analyst Erik Woodring<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41350919/apple-analyst-predicts-a-september-quarter-revenue-beat-allays-fears-over-shorter-i"> recently said.</a>
The analyst, who has an Overweight rating and $273 price target on Apple, said while the data for lead times was bad for the iPhone 16, it could be better than the previous iPhone 15.
Lower lead times could also be a factor of Apple being more proactive with its suppliers in keeping inventory in check to avoid supply constraints, Woodring said.
"We believe that better supply conditions are one of the contributing factors to why iPhone lead times are shorter this cycle than in recent cycles," Woodring said.
Here are other recent<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AAPL/analyst-ratings"> analyst ratings on Apple </a>and their price targets:
<ul>
<li>KeyBanc: Downgraded from Sector-weight to Underweight with $200 price target</li>
<li>Piper Sandler: Reiterated Neutral rating with $225 price target</li>
<li>Bank of America: Reiterated Buy rating with $256 price target</li>
<li>Barclays: Maintained Underweight rating with $186 price target</li>
</ul>
Key Items to Watch: All eyes will be on the iPhone 16 when Apple reports fourth-quarter results Thursday.
Other items that investors will be watching include Services, the initial rollout of Apple Intelligence and China.
<ul>
<li>Services hit an<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40116376/apple-q3-earnings-beat-expectations-tim-cook-highlights-breakthrough-ai-platform-installed-base-of-"> all-time record</a> for revenue in the third quarter but came in below Street estimates.</li>
<li>Weakness in China for the third quarter contributed to shares seeing downward pressure after the earnings results.</li>
<li>Apple&#8217;s recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41582312/apples-introduces-imac-m4-chip-brings-faster-speeds-and-smarter-ai-features">AI product announcements</a> could be highlighted in the results as future catalysts.</li>
</ul>
Price Action: Apple stock is down 1% to $230.38 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $164.08 to $237.49. Apple stock is up 24% year-to-date in 2024.

On Tuesday, Novartis AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>) reported third-quarter sales of $12.823 billion, up 9% (+10% on constant currency), beating the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41598312/novartis-q3-earnings-beats-expectations-on-strong-sales-from-key-drugs-lifts-2024-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $12.76 billion</a>.
Guidance: Novartis also raised its 2024 full-year guidance again this year.
In a statement, Novartis said it expects full-year core operating income to grow by a &#8220;high teens&#8221; percentage, compared with previous guidance of a &#8220;mid-to-high teens&#8221; percentage.
Novartis forecasts full-year sales growth in the low double digits, having previously guided for high-single to low-double-digit growth.
Pelabresib filing was further delayed, triggering a $800 million impairment charge related to the $2.9 billion <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/04/38497134/morphosys-says-novartis-deal-progressing-steadily-despite-safety-concerns-over-bone-marrow-cancer" rel="noreferrer noopener">acquisition of MorphoSys</a>.
Earlier this year, MorphoSys faced&nbsp;a burgeoning safety concern surrounding&nbsp;pelabresib.
Goldman Sachs notes that MorphoSys-related impairment charge is somewhat underwhelming, raising doubts about the company&#8217;s M&amp;A strategy.
Truist notes that Novartis is concentrating on preparing the market for the PSMAFore label, which is expected to triple its addressable market.
They also pointed out that growth opportunities in China and Japan, and metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) and oligometastatic disease, could push Pluvicto&#8217;s sales well above the projected $2 billion peak.
The company is committed to maximizing the potential of Pluvicto and its radioligand therapy (RLT) portfolio.
For other radiopharmaceutical companies targeting PSMA, entering this market may become more challenging.
A crucial question remains regarding the standards that must be met to compete with more effective radioligand products. This context relates to companies such as Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) and Bristol Myers Squibb &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>), which have RLT products in their pipelines, as well as smaller companies, including Y-mAbs Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YMAB#NASDAQ">YMAB</a>) and Perspective Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CATX#NASDAQ">CATX</a>).
Novartis highlighted continued strong growth and momentum and sees room to grow the market size for B-cell inhibition in multiple sclerosis, relating Biogen Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIIB#NASDAQ">BIIB</a>).
Truist highlights Novartis&#8217; strong balance sheet, which enables further bolt-on deals and share buybacks. Recent transactions primarily involve deals in the sub-$1 billion range, along with a few larger bolt-on acquisitions.
A Truist analyst indicated that they will be monitoring how the adoption of Leqvio may affect Amgen Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMGN#NASDAQ">AMGN</a>) Repatha and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/REGN#NASDAQ">REGN</a>) Praluent. Meanwhile, Novartis has reported that the launch is advancing smoothly, and Leqvio continues to grow, outpacing the overall market as per the management.
Novartis&#8217; Cosentyx witnessed strong uptake and continued brand growth driven by hidradenitis suppurativa expansion, and the market opportunity can accommodate several players, Abbvie Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NASDAQ">ABBV</a>), Incyte Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INCY#NASDAQ">INCY</a>), and Kymera Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KYMR#NASDAQ">KYMR</a>).

On Wednesday,&nbsp;Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BSX#NYSE">BSX</a>) released the results of the primary endpoint of the ACURATE IDE trial of&nbsp;ACURATE&nbsp;neo2 Aortic Valve System for patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis at risk of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/n41629382/acurate-neo2-aortic-valve-system-data-presented-at-late-breaking-clinical-trial-session-at-tct-202" rel="noreferrer noopener">open-heart surgery</a>.
The data were presented at Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics 2024, the annual scientific symposium of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation.
This randomized trial evaluated the ACURATE&nbsp;neo2 valve, the company&#8217;s second-generation transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) technology, versus a pre-defined control valve, either the commercially available SAPIEN valve or the Evolut transcatheter aortic valve system.
SAPIEN valve is sold by Edwards Lifesciences Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EW#NYSE">EW</a>), and Evolut is Medtronic Plc&#8217;s NYSE: MDT) brand.
The composite rate of all-cause mortality, stroke, or rehospitalization at one year was 16.16% in the ACURATE&nbsp;neo2 arm and 9.53% in the control arm, not meeting the prespecified criterion for non-inferiority (the posterior probability for non-inferiority was 77.9%, which is lower than the non-inferiority test threshold of 97.5%).
&#8220;This trial is the largest randomized comparison of TAVR platforms and was conducted over four years, including during a global pandemic that introduced complexities for enrollment,&#8221; said&nbsp;Michael Reardon, co-principal investigator of the ACURATE IDE trial.
The company also presented data from a post-hoc analysis to identify and evaluate expanded and under-expanded ACURATE&nbsp;neo2 valve frames within the ACURATE IDE trial.
The company reviewed key procedural factors, including pre-and post-dilation, which help prepare for, enable, and confirm proper valve expansion during the procedure.
Following this review, an assessment of implant quality for the ACURATE&nbsp;neo2 valve was initiated. The assessment highlighted that approximately 20% of the valves were under-expanded.
Data from the assessment also demonstrated that the rate of death, stroke, or rehospitalization at one year was similar between the ACURATE&nbsp;neo2 expanded group and the control group.
Boston Scientific continues to work closely with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on the regulatory strategy for approval of the ACURATE valve platform in the U.S.
The ACURATE&nbsp;neo2 Aortic Valve System and the ACURATE Prime Aortic Valve System are approved in Europe.
In the&nbsp;U.S., the ACURATE&nbsp;neo2 Aortic Valve System and the ACURATE Prime Aortic Valve System are investigational devices.
Price Action: BSX stock is down 1.66% at $83.16 at last check Wednesday.
