UBS reiterates a 'Buy' on Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), raises PT from $415 to $465.

UBS analyst says, "Despite our forecasted CY11 EPS growth of 31% y/y (FY11 growth of 53.5% y/y), AAPL shrs trade at ~15x our EPS est (5-yr low was 14x & 5-yr avg of 24.7x) & ~12x ex-cash. What we expect could be the largest pre-order & sales ever experienced by Verizon Wireless for the iPhone, further expansion to other CDMA-based operators, cont’d dominance in tablet share, & cont’d strength from geographic expansion w/ incremental growth opportunity from further halo effects, we see shares as offering compelling value."

"We raise our FY11 rev/EPS estimates to $101.7b/$23.25 from $93.7b/$20.08."
