Product Sales and Expectations Lift Apple Stock

by , 2:15 PM EDT, September 4th, 2007

A nexus of events, iPhone current and projected sales and possible iPod announcements on Wednesday have lifted Apple's stock dramatically, according to MarketWatch on Tuesday.

Expectations are that Apple will revamp its line of iPods, not substantially changed in a year, for the holiday shopping season. However, recent news of Apple's iPhone sales have also contributed to the rise into the US$140s on Tuesday.

Recently, Apple stock was depressed along with the rest of the market in the Subprime credit crisis, but it has rebounded dramatically since mid-August.

Analysts, including Gene Munster, are also expecting Apple to sell 2 million Macs this quarter. Mr. Munster has set an "outperform" rating for AAPL and a target price of US$211.

Apple stock at this time is trading at just under $US144.
