“Apple (AAPL) has been on a tear for the last 5 years with the stock up approximately 450% compared to the 17% increase in the broader Nasdaq index,” Nadeem Moulvi writes for Seeking Alpha.
“Apple has been posting all-time highs on a daily basis and, in the process, has become the world’s largest company by market capitalization, bypassing Exxon Mobil (XOM),” Moulvi writes. “Trading at $463.97, AAPL has a market capitalization of $432.59 billion. By my estimation, Apple will become the first trillion dollar company in the next 36 months. At current levels, the stock trades at a significant discount to its intrinsic value.”
Moulvi writes, “Apple is expected to be trading at $1,200 a share 3 years in the future. Assuming 950 million shares outstanding, the company is projected to have a market capitalization of $1.14 trillion making it the first trillion dollar company on the planet. At current levels, although hard to believe, Apple is grossly mispriced by the market and is a bargain.”

Apple should use its status as the most successful corporation of all time to start the “corporate evolution” where we transition to absolute sustainability. The profit motive must be replaced by something more empathetic and reciprocal.
empathetic to whom?
The earth and each other.
And on which end of this “transition” are you at present, Dude . . . the producing or the taking? I would wager my 401K it’s the latter.
Why do you defensively associate sustainability and empathy with “taking”?
‘Cause that’s what “sustainability” is all about–taking, or occupying, stuff that doesn’t belong to you. And if you don’t get that, you just don’t get it.
Yes,
Let’s get Apple to turn America into the land of the free.
As in free Macs, iPhones, iPods and iPads.
Fuck Capitalism!
I’m going back to my tent in the park now.
Mine are free cuz I’m a longtime shareholder from an inheritance not from individual merit. I play the game but it’s rigged and unsustainable. What if we were all “shareholders” in a quest for something greater than tiny screens and big bank accounts. Sorry for the idealism. Back to work everyone!
Why is it not surprising that you started out with the proverbial silver spoon in your mouth? No one here cares about your BS guilt. Here’s an idea: why don’t you try, instead, to be half the man as the guy who earned that fortune in your family? You would then have to create or offer something genuinely useful to your fellow citizens. Instead of just pissin’ away the money and mouthing off, that is.
@Janice and others
Try the decaf. Right or wrong he is just expressing a thought. Why not engage him with facts rather than opinions if you disagree with him?
Well said. Sounds like some anger issues going on…
Never thought of it that way but yes, I agree with you. I think money is grossly outdated and we should just use resources and Apple should manage them. They seem to be one of if not the only organization that knows how to manage anything.
Another rally, another round of wild speculation …
Look at the AAPL five-year chart. Starting three years ago, you can plot a perfectly straight line (between the short term fluctuations), up to today’s price. Extending that line, AAPL would be at about $800 in three years, and that would be more than pretty decent. $1200 in three years seems a bit overly optimistic.
Then again, Apple may have $400 in cash per share by that time (or the equivalent including acquisitions and infrastructure improvements), so maybe $1200 is not so crazy.
If only I’d bought at $7/share …
That makes two of us! I also almost bought at $50 and $80 (twice).
Who’s going to listen to this guy? His blog hasn’t even hit beta yet.
Not far fetched, only 36% growth needed for the next 3 years.
We’ve been here before. http://macdailynews.com/2009/11/20/apples_decade_how_aapl_shares_can_hit_500/
Finally an analyst we want to believe! Err.. .knows what he is talking about.
If only I’d had the green to buy more than the 15 shares I bought @ $131.
I only have a couple hundred shares left. The best way to buy shares now is with options if your funds are limited.
