BTIG maintains a 'Buy' on Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) price target raised from $550 to $580.
BTIG analyst says, "We now believe that Apple sold a record 35 million phones in the calendar fourth quarter based on particularly strong demand in the United States that we estimate will represent nearly 40% of iPhone sales in the quarter. As a result, we increased our Fiscal Q1 EPS estimate for Apple by $0.50 to $10.00 which is above guidance of $9.30 and consensus of $9.83. We also increased the number of iPhones that we expect Apple to sell in calendar 2012 by 17% to an impressive 125 million from 107 million as more and more countries enter the sweet spot in the consumer adoption curve of smartphones."
