Goldman Sachs analyst David Bailey yesterday raised his target price on Apple (AAPL) from $175 to $185 based on “strong Mac sales and a better product mix should offset sluggish iPhone and iPod sales and allow the company to report March quarter results ‘strong enough to satisfy the Street,'” Eric Savitz reports for Barron’s.
“Bailey raised his March quarter EPS estimate to $1.09 from $1.02, and above the Street at $1.06, to reflect better gross margin from component cost declines and ‘a higher-end skew within each product line,'” Savitz reports. “He raised his June quarter estimate to $1.12, from $1.05, above the Street at $1.10.”
Savitz reports, “Bailey sees March quarter unit sales of 2.1 million Macs; he sees 1.4 million iPhones. He sees calendar 2008 sales of 11 million iPhones, ahead of the company’s much-publicized 10 million unit estimate.”

Not gonna happen.
Microsoft is making significant gains with Vista, consumers are enamored with Zune + Zune Marketplace, and I-Phone prospects are putting off purchases in anticipation of better phones running the next version of Windows Mobile. Buh-bye, Apple.
Your potential. Our passion.™
“Microsoft is making significant gains with Vista ” What ?????
How many years was MS working on this nightmare of an OS.
If they are making significant gains, why are so many users petitioning MS to keep making XP available ????
” enamored with Zune ” …. What ???? Hardly the words I would use for Zune.
Advice …. put down the MS kool-aid glass. You’ve had too much to drink.
Ooray up she rises.
It’s so funny when someone flips out on Zunetang®. He was probably so pissed, talking out loud to himself and all…
You’re obviously a newbie to MDN, so let me fill you in. Zune Tang’s is a Mac user and his posts are always tongue-in-cheek. They are for our enjoyment. BTW, don’t let this put you off, and welcome to MDN.
I am certain that Zune Tang® is actually Ampar.
Hmm let’s talk about price targets:

OK let’s try this again. THen talk about price targets…

Actually, Zune Tang® is really Steve Ballmer. No, don’t go nuts. First read Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Then you’ll realize that Zune Tang® is the “good Dr,” while the Ballmer we all know and love is Mr Hyde. And with Hyde in there, that’s as good as Zune Tang® can be. Poor thing.
To King of Slivers: And I’m certain you’re wrong.
No way ZT could be Ballmer. It’s well known that Monkey Boy excretes too much body fluid and breaks too much shit to possibly be allowed near a keyboard (which would explain a lot at MS).
Now there’s a chance ZT could be Ballmer’s secretary, trainer, goat, etc. But not a chance for Ballmer himself.
G’day Ampar. Where’ve you been lately?
Feed not the trolls lest they mess up your backyard.
The 11M iPhone prediction is interesting. First time I’ve heard that.
these analysts are absolutely clueless. aapl goes down, they lower their price target, aapl goes up they raise their price target. (the only exception is shawn wu who sticked to his forecast of $250 through the downturn) the rest of them have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. it’s a a shame, someone is actually paying them.
msn word “western” as in: sometimes i have no hope for our western civilisation.
Yo, Micro Me. Around, thanks.
I love steve ballmer
What’s there to love about Steve Ballmer?
The space between his ears. Nothing!
What’s there to love about Steve Ballmer?
Well anyone who’s an Apple fan or AAPL shareholder should absolutely love his management capabilities. HA!
In fact we all should buy (literally) a few shares of MSFT. Why? To get board election ballots, and to help ensure Ballmer and his team of yes-men stay at the top of MS as long as possible.
Greeting. This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer.
I am from Marshall and now study English, please tell me right I wrote the following sentence: “March, friars, dust reactions of entra!Dojima hama blah, kita-ku, osaka, japan.”
