    I am always fascinated by these pronouncements. “Investment firm/Brokerage firm announces a target price of $xyz for ABCD”

    When? When do they expect this target to be met? One year? Ten years? Two months?

    Without that, it is basically pointless

      I predict after 366 days of 2011 the year 2012 will begin. ;)

      • BadAdvice

        But, Melody, your prediction will be wrong. You see, it already is 2011. Leap year is this year, 2012.

    @Shripathi Kamath

    Unless stated otherwise, the standard timeframe for a stock price forecast is 12 months.

  • PiMatrix

    The current trailing P/E is 12.72 NOT 15.19. The forward P/E is around 11. Back out cash and both are less than 10.

    Why are these articles written with such basic metrics wrong?

  • Puzzles

    So what id P/E so low as compared to Google / Amazon? Isn’t Apple a grow stock?
