New Ratings: 'Apple Computer overweight'
March 17 - 09:47 EST A report on New Ratings today reports that analysts at Morgan Stanley published a research note today maintaining an "overweight" rating on Apple with a price target of US $90. "The analysts mention that the current weakness in Apple Computer's share price, on account of data related to the company's component supply chain and point-of-sale, is overblown," notes the report. It does mention, however, that "the February NPD point-of-sale data does not reflect initial robust shipments of Apple Computer's MacBook Pro and/or sell through of the new Mac Mini."
kwyjibo - the catalyst for my starting this thread was a $21 (25%) decline in Apple stock price over the past 10 weeks - $1.50 +/- would be a small fluctuation I agree. We are already underwater on our new purchases.
An announcement regarding feature film / studio contracts / downloads and a new, true vPod is what I am counting on this go round. We are all in the same guessing boat @ $64 / share - buying opportunity or ..........?
