Oppenheimer upgrades Apple to ‘outperform’ on positive Steve Jobs health news

Tuesday, January 06, 2009 - 08:51 AM EST

"Oppenheimer & Co upgraded Apple Inc (AAPL) to 'outperform,' saying a sudden change of leadership is not imminent, after the company's Chief Executive Steve Jobs said his weight loss was caused by a hormone imbalance that is relatively simple to treat," Sandhya Menon reports for Reuters.

"The brokerage said it seems unlikely that Jobs, the board, and its counsel would disclose the prognosis of a six-month recovery if it were at odds with doctors' expectations," Menon reports. "'The 'Apple Community' is now due an update in late spring, but until then the recovery will presumably be allowed to run its course without undue prying,' the brokerage said."

Menon reports, "The brokerage lowered it price target on the stock by $10 to $135."

I'm just thinking: S.J. owns a lot of Apple stock. The more he eats, the more weight he gains, the richer he gets. That's a dream for most of us.

Steve doesn't actually own that much compared to some other large Apple investors. I think he has about 1% of the company.

Less than 1%. He had 800k shares, right, but had to sell some for tax purposes.
