Apple, Inc. (AAPL) has experienced tremendous growth, driven by the success of its iPhone and increased Mac shipments. The company reported strong fiscal 2009 results with higher revenue (12.5% year over year) and earnings (17.4% year over year) growth despite the recession. The results beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate and the company's own guidance.

The company is currently benefiting from a positive mix shift to the higher-margin iPhone/iPod business from its traditional MP3 players. The Macintosh product continues to gain market share, with significant gains in portables, music players and smart phones.

Year-to-date, Apple share prices have more than doubled. Apple's valuation premium is justified, given the company's positive attributes and leaves room for further upside from the current levels. We have increased estimates for full-year 2010 and upgrade the stock to Outperform. We set a six-month price target of $225.Zacks Investment Research

Fourth-Quarter Results Beat Apple Inc. (AAPL) fourth-quarter beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.43 in earnings per share and $9.19 billion in revenue. Earnings in the quarter were $1.82 per share, which also surpassed the company’s own guidance. This increased 44% from $1.26 per share reported in the year-ago period.

The tremendous revenue growth was due to higher iPhone sales and increased Mac shipments in the quarter. Apple continues to gain market share in the three major hardware sectors – computers (with very significant gains in portables), music players and smartphones. Apple's revenue increased in every region, including the U.S. and Europe. The company is currently benefiting from a positive mix shift to the higher-margin iPhones/iPod business from its ...

A Garmin Ltd. (GRMN) spokesperson announced that the company had selected a carrier for the nuvifone G6, its new smartphone. Although the name of the carrier was not announced, rumor has it that it could be AT&T (T), the second-largest player in the U.S. The product will be manufactured by Taiwanese PC manufacturer Asustuk. Garmin expects the product to generate $100-200 million in revenue this year, which would add an incremental 4% to the top line. This means that Garmin would still be short of the one million unit mark this year. Although the company’s small size and vulnerability in the intensely competitive market could delay initial customer response, Asus is geared to crossing the million unit threshold in 2010. We believe that the success of the product could be tempered by AT&T’s commitment to Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone, for which it has exclusive distribution ...

An investigation has been launched by U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), on several NAND flash memory chip making companies. A complaint filed in July by West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania-based BTG International prompted ITC to initiate this investigation against companies like Samsung (SSNLF), Apple Inc. (AAPL), Research In Motion (RIMM), Dell Inc. (DELL), Sony Corp. (SNE), PNY Technologies and Transcend Information.   The complaint filed by BTG states that chips used by Apple, Research In Motion, Samsung and others violate the patents that the company holds on the NAND flash memory chips. BTG has requested ITC to ban Samsung from using the patented chips and on products using the Samsung chips to be shipped to the U.S.   This apart, BTG asked ITC to issue a cease and desist order on any of the companies’ business relating to those devices. We believe this might have a negative ...
