Mr Murdoch seems to be in a bit of trouble. Corporate culture comes from the top so blaming some rogue journalists seems to be a bit disingenuous to me.

Around the end of April (I think the day after I bought my Grandson an Ipad) I bought 75 shares in Apple thinking they were going to have a bumper year with the Iphone and Ipad. Well the results released for the quarter were huge, higher then I think anyone anticipated. In todays pre-market trading they are ~ $400 per share, up ~$25.00. In terms of key metrics, here's a comparison of what I had seen as being estimated versus the actual result. • 16.5 million iPhone units sold; actual = 20.3 million • 7.8 million iPad units sold; actual = 9.2 million • 8.4 million iPod units sold; actual = 7.5 million • around 4.2 million Mac units shipped; actual = 3.9 million • gross margins in the range of 39%; actual = 41.7% AAPL is on its way to FY '11 FCF of perhaps $29 billion, or nearly $31 per share. Cash is now $81 per share. That means even here at $400 (pre-market) the stock is priced at around 10x this year's FCF, net of cash. Fun facts: Since the June 20 lows around $311, AAPL has added some $76.5B in market cap based on pre-market quotes. What is that like, here are some total market caps to compare. - ABT: 82.2B - KFT: 62.0B - COST + TGT: 70.7B - CAT: 70.7B - HPQ: 73.9B AAPL's 1month add is greater than the total market cap of 11 of the 30 Dow components. And some say the market is always efficient  Then you contemplate what $29B in FCF is like. How about enough to buy Sony, $26B market cap ....  Onwards to $500 ;D |
