Barclays reiterates an 'Equalweight' on Apollo Group (NASDAQ: APOL) price target of $51.00.

Barclays analyst says, "Regarding the 10-K filing, there were no thesis-changing takeaways, with the filing largely summarizing the many regulatory and fundamental changes that have occurred in the last year. In addition, the financial disclosures pointed to continued healthy cash flows and returns on capital, despite the recent weak fundamental performance...We remain encouraged by APOL's progress with its quality initiatives."

"We maintain our $51 price target, or 15x our new CY'12 EPS estimate of $3.40. With this premium vs. the market despite expected profit declines over the next year, we would look to get more aggressive on dips to the low-mid $40s rather than arguing for a much higher valuation today."
