Apple (AAPL) Gets Analyst Mulligan Following Q3 Miss

Proof that Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) is virtually infallible?

Analysts.

The following is a select few of headlines following the big Apple earnings miss yesteday:

• Needham & Company - 'Not Every Quarter is a Blowout'
  
  
• Goldman Sachs - 'Apple Has Tough Miss, But December Quarter Will Be Super Strong'
  
  
• Wedbush reiterated a Buy rating, no headline needed. BTIG did the same.
  
  
• Wells Fargo - 'Q4 iPhone Units Stall Ahead of 4S, Expect Q1 Rebound'

Should Apple somehow miss expectations again, and the earth doesn't split open to swallow them, we'll see if the tune is changed. As for now, solid iPhone 4S sales numbers and surely an iPad debut will bolster numbers for its first-quarter 2012.
