The huge Android user base is a big plus for the search giant. The stock is rated Outperform with a $681 price target. The consensus target is at $645. Shares closed Monday at $57.45.

Synaptics Inc. (NASDAQ: SYNA) is considered one of the pioneers and leader of the human interface revolution, which provides innovative and intuitive user experiences to intelligent devices. Apple has a captive fingerprint solution that Synaptics provides, and the Cowen team sees the company well-positioned to serve the market for other platforms as well. The stock is rated Outperform with a $105 price target. The consensus stands at $90.46. The stock closed Monday at $85.04.

Universal Display Corp. (NASDAQ: OLED) could get a boost in sentiment from Apple’s wearable devices. Cowen also expects Apple to start using the AMOLED displays for iPhone when a sufficient supply base is ready. Already a big supplier to Samsung, this could prove huge for Universal Display. The stock is rated Outperform, and Cowen raised the price target to $55. The consensus target is $46. The stock closed up nicely Monday at $46.81.

Clearly the Cowen team gleaned a ton of data from the 3,000 adults that took part in the survey. While Apple took market share during the iPhone 6 launch, the Cowen team indicated that there was a big buzz for the new Samsung Galaxy S6. This will keep the competition keen among vendors to the tech giants looking to provide newer and better technology.
