Gleacher & Co. maintains a 'Buy' on Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), raises PT from $355 to $400.

Gleacher analyst says, "Clearly with AAPL shares down only approximately 2% on Tuesday post Steve Jobs' announced medical leave, the investment community was anticipating a blowout quarter...they certainly got it. We believe highlights of the quarter include: 1) improved gross margin trajectory, and 2) robust iPad demand."

"We are raising our CY11 estimates to $104.1bil in revenue with gross margin of 39.4% and EPS of $24.50 (vs. previous levels of $91.4bil, gross margin of 37.8% and EPS of $20.00)."
