“Apple Inc.’s share-price estimate was increased 30 percent by Sanford C. Bernstein analysts, who cited a possible ‘upside’ to profit estimates as sales of the iPhone boost earnings,” Kenneth Wong reports for Bloomberg.

“Analysts led by Toni Sacconaghi, the top-ranked computer analyst according to Institutional Investor magazine, boosted their stock-price estimate to $175 from $135, and their forecast for 2008 cash earnings per share by 3.3 percent to $5. They kept the ‘market-perform’ rating,” Wong reports.

Wild men. One question: Is their $175 AAPL share price estimate a 12-month target… or a 12-day target?

It’s 170.29 now. Maybe they meant in a different currency.

Or it’s a hair salon/tattoo parlor/brokerage firm?

Yes, we expect (with a 75% assurance) that Apple shares will hit 165. (er what do you mean they are already at 166??? Well, I guess we were right then, Huh?? )

Wow, way to go out on a limb….This years income per share could be $4.50 – $6.00 per share. Stock price now $169.00

WHAT A BULL….
Toni says stock will hit $175.00 by October 2008.
Toni says cash EPS will be $5.00 by October 2008.

She sure is taking a chance on this insignificant Californiia company.

How could she figure this out?

Hon hai is buying a large interest in a specialty glass company in Taiwan. Hon Hai has 178,000 employees

The ipod touch is almost always out of stock at Amazon, Target, Best Buy.
Aapl’s desktops are 5 of the top ten sellers today at Amazon.
Aapl’s notebooks are 4 ot the top ten sellers today at Amazon
Aapl’s ipods are 8 of the top ten MP3 sellers today at Amazon.

With their agreements with AT&T;, T mobile, and O2, aapl will make more money on the service contract than the carriers will

I think they should all get together and post an estimate of $300/share and leave us alone with their penny ante incremental almost-daily updates.

So basically, anyone who listened to him missed out on the last 30 bucks, and now he’s telling them to miss out on the next 30 bucks

I bought at $9.00 – $14.50 and held AAPL through 3 splits. Sold 15% at $155.98 and made 6 figures. Looking for about $200.00 to $250.00 by 8/2008 or a split before July of 2008.
