Philip Elmer-DeWitt has a good rundown of what analysts are saying after Apple’s Q4 earnings report.
Love ’em or hate ’em, analysts’ reports have a direct bearing on Apple’s stock performance and the perception of how the company is doing with Wall Street investors, so it’s worth paying attention to.
You kind of get the feeling that very few people at Apple actually give a f#ck about their stock price… and the few that do, are not allowed to mix-and-mingle with the rest of the company.
This happens every year before or just after a big announcement, so I don’t know why investors do so little research and end up relying on ANALyst reports.
Personally I don’t give a shit what the analysts say. Too often they are talking out of their asses etc.
I listen to the real facts. What actually gets released, what the sales numbers are etc.
