Apple of his eye: A jaw-dropping analyst prediction

APR 08, 2012
By  Bloomberg
Apple Inc., already the world's most valuable company, will see its stock price reach $1,001 within 12 months, lifted by growth in China and the debut of a television product, according to Topeka Capital Markets. The new target, issued last week by Topeka's Brian White, is the highest among those of 45 analysts tracked by Bloomberg and represents a 62% increase over the current price. The gains will be fueled by demand for the next iPhone, in addition to the expansion into China and the TV market, he said. “Apple fever is spreading like a wildfire around the world,” Mr. White said in a report, which initiated coverage of the company with a “buy” recommendation. Apple (AAPL) will get to $1,001 by introducing a TV within a year, as well as an upgraded iPhone that works with speedier wireless networks, he said. China Mobile Ltd., the Asian country's largest wireless network, will start carrying the iPhone within a year, Mr. White said, adding millions of new potential customers.
