Apple Earnings

By Steve Abraham on Oct 22, 2007

Apple posted great numbers after the close today. A few months back I suggested that Apple shares could reach $200 by end of 2008. I may have been a year too late. The stock has traded today as high as $188 in after hours activity , which has been heavy.  Nearly 10M shares have traded after the close.  Here is the kicker:  Apple guided UP for EPS and revenue estimates for the Christmas quarter.  As far as I know, that is unprecedented in recent history.  They typically low ball future earnings estimates.  Whatever they estimate, you can be sure they will crush the numbers.  They say $1.42/share on $9.2B in revenue.  All of the analyst are going to readjust their price targets now that Apple has guided up. I think Apple is going to $225 this year, maybe $250 after middle of next year.  Call me crazy.

Tommorrow, I like AMZN as a pre-earnings play.  All of tech has crushed numbers and I think AMZN is likely to follow suit.

AAPL continues to chug along very nicely. The earnings continue to be absolutely beautiful and the stock doesn’t seem very overvalued. $250 by the middle of next year might be a little too optimistic, but I think $200 by year end and maybe $220 or so is fairly likely.

Apple will eventually set the standard for honest trading and business. Plus with the release of the iPhone and apples other gadget, wize trade shows them as a long term and short term trade.

Of course Apple posted great prices. They always do.

I really love these kinds of stocks. They’re very predictable in my opinion. I can also confidently take the opinion of myself, you guys, and wizetrade.

Looks like AAPL is getting to a good buy point in my opinion. I’m just waiting to see if the indicators tell me to get in. Then I see a rise back to $200 level. Anyone else?
