Needham & Company maintains a 'Buy' on Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) price target of $620.00.

Analyst, Charlie Wolf, said, "We’ve raised our June iPad shipment forecast from 13.5 million units to 20.0 million units. The increase reflects a hastily formulated initial estimate in April, along with evidence that iPad shipments continue to grow, especially in the education and business markets...We’re raising our June quarter estimate of Apple’s earnings from $9.10 to $10.38 and our fiscal 2012 estimate from $44.25 to $46.45."
