Ticonderoga maintains a 'Buy' on Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), PT $550.
Ticonderoga analyst says, "We continue to closely track Apple's progress in China, and we believe China Telecom is well positioned to ramp a CDMA iPhone this summer. As an incremental data point to China Telecom's appetite to carry the iPhone, we noticed that the Guangdong branch of China Telecom (NYSE: CHA)(NotRated) is conducting an online, Chinese character survey surrounding customer interest in purchasing Apple's CDMA iPhone 4. This survey began on April 1st and will last until May 1st."
"73% of Survey Interested in Buying a China Telecom CDMA iPhone 4. The China Telecom iPhone 4 survey has just three major questions that include the following: 1) If China Telecom offers the CDMA iPhone 4, are you interested in making a purchase?; 2) What kind of data plan do you prefer?; 3) What price range for the iPhone 4 can you afford? As of this morning, 8,290 people participated, with 73% indicating they are interested in buying a CDMA iPhone 4 and 2% indicating no interest, while the remainder were undecided."
