Posted this under as a reply to a different topic, but would like to consolidate all upgrades/downgrades in this thread. I know citi had upgraded target yesterday/day before…
(yes, I know I mention downgrades. Wasnt there an analyst that reduced aapl’s earnings estimates ??).

Lets keep a list.

Saw this re. rbc analyst raising price target.

Apple (AAPL 168.16, +7.12) had a strong showing after RBC Capital Markets raised its price target on shares of Apple to $190 from $175. The firm expects Apple to top earnings estimates when it reports on Wednesday.

awcabot: Thanks for this. They dont mention the Citi upgrade however:

Citigroup is raising their estimates on Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) to a new Street high. Firm now expects $7.0B revenue (prev $6.9B, consensus $6.95B), 36.5% GM (35.2%, ~33.5%), and EPS of $1.23 (prev $1.14, consensus $1.06). New 1CQ08 rev and EPS ests reflect solid PC sales and, more importantly, sharp ~40% declines in DRAM/flash pricing.

Here is a just released blurb from Lehman Bros.
Take note of the “tipping point” for macs comment.

Lehman Brothers started coverage of Apple (AAPL:Apple Inc
AAPL 168.16, +7.12, +4.4%) with an overweight rating and a $195 price target. The broker cited sales momentum and share gains in Macs, potential for open-ended growth with new iPhones and more new products. “Despite the economic environment, we do not believe that Apple’s momentum has waned in Macs; in fact, Macs may have reached a tipping point with share on its way toward doubling over the next three to five years,” the broker said

FYI…  Lehman analyst is the ex-UBS guy - Ben Reitzes..
