Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) price target raised to $545.

Canaccord analyst, T. Michael Walkley, said, "Our August channel checks indicated strong sell-through trends for both the iPhone and iPad. Based on solid demand trends for iPhone/iPad, poor sell-through trends for competing tablet offerings, and the ramping iOS ecosystem driving longer-term replacement sales, we believe Apple will maintain dominant value share of both the tablet and smartphone markets to drive healthy long-term earnings growth...As a result, we are raising our 2011 pro forma EPS estimate from $26.37 to $27.29 and our 2012 estimate from $30.29 to $32.13."
