MacDailyNews Take: It’s important to note that Mike Abramsky also maintains an “Underperform” rating and $70 price target on Apple. It is possible that he is unable to perform even basic math accurately, hence his rating and price target. At the very least, he’s forgotten about Apple’s $30+ billion, with a “B,” in cash on-hand. A $70 price target on AAPL today is laughably low and serves only to make him look incompetent.
