Fiscal 3Q 2015 Final Estimates


As of today's market close of $123.28, AAPL now trades at a 11.7x multiple on my next-twelve-months EPS estimate (8.7x excluding next-12m cash and div).

Apple better start guiding a bit more realistically or analysts will start adding 10% to top of range from the outset no matter what. Beating by 5% revenue is ok but going back to Peter Oppenheimer's 15% (and 30% EPS) average sand-bagging is dangerous. (Game of guidance chicken as Mav likes to say. Hey Mav!)

Thanks.

Daniel, thanks again for your continuing analysis. With respect to your 1-year price target of $163, does your sales forecast include only existing products, or perhaps estimated revenue from unannounced products such as the purported iPad Pro, enhanced Apple TV + media subscriptions and/or an untethered Apple Watch?

Yes to the extent I expect the current product lines will be updated, refreshed, and the growth I've projected must be driven by new innovation. But I don't model untis for those specific new products, or subs revs (for now).
