Needham & Co. Raises Target for Apple's Stock, Reiterates "Buy"

by , 8:00 AM EST, November 24th, 2004

Newratings.com is reporting that Needham & Co. has raised its target price for Apple's stock from US$43 to $62 per share. The firm also reiterated its "Buy" rating for the stock.

The news follows Piper Jaffray raising its own target price for AAPL from $52 to $100 over the weekend, which set off a buying frenzy that propelled the stock up more than 11% in heavy trading on Monday. The stock crossed the 61 mark to close Monday at $61.35, up 11.2%.

On Tuesday the stock held onto those gains, closing down 8 cents at $61.27.

Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster said in a report that a survey of 200 randomly selected iPod owners found very high brand-loyalty, and that this brand-loyalty would build demand for Apple's other products, like the Mac. Mr. Munster raised his target for the stock based on that demand.

AAPL has not yet begun trading Wednesday.

Ummm...guys? It is trading at $62.97 right now. Don't you think it should be raised a little higher?

Nothing like setting targets you know you can hit!

Targe prices are basel on models. I suspect AAPL will trade nicely in the 60s. The big question is whether or not AAPl makes tests its all-time high in the 70s before year end.
