Nachdem heute das erste Brokerhaus in U.S.
Apple auf Buy eingestuft hat liegt Apple mit fast
7% im Plus.
Nach den Quartalszahlen nächste Woche sollte
der Spuk dann endgültig vorbei sein und wir können
uns auf das Weihnachtsgeschäft freuen.
Die Gewinnwarnung sollte nun endgültig eingepriced
sein, so daß nach den Preisnachlässen die Apple
nun für den Cube und das iBook plant es wieder
nach oben gehen sollte.

Sehr schön! Hab bei 30 schon gekauft! Lohnt es sich da jetzt nochmal nachzukaufen?

Wichtig war, daß die Marke von 20 $ mehr oder weniger gehalten hat. Wäre die Marke signifikant unterschritten worden, hätten sich einige Institutionelle verabschieden müssen, da die Marke von 20 $ die Grenze vom investment grade zum speculative grade, die einige Fonds (Pensionsfonds)nicht einnehmen dürfen, darstellen.

Ich denke, den Boden haben wir bereits gestern gesehen, als trotz miserabler Börsenstimmung Apple gegen die Tendenz leicht stieg und bei 20 $ eine Punktlandung schaffte.

Daher strong buy.

Apple Earnings Forecast May Have Gone Overboard

By Prince Maclean ([e-mail])

October 16, 2000


Apple Computer, Inc. is expected to release its earnings for the fourth fiscal quarter of this year on October 18th. On the 28th of September, the computer maker issued a press release warning of a significant earnings shortfall.

According to the press release, the company is expecting earnings per diluted share, excluding investment gains, to fall between $.30 and $.33 -- considerably less than analysts and the street may have been expecting.

Apple stock plunged almost 50 percent in overnight trading following the company`s warning that Thursday evening. The stock ultimately dipped to 52 percent of its value by the close of the markets the following day as shares of Apple became the 8th most traded stock in US History.

But according to reliable sources close to Apple`s financial decision, shareholders may be a little happier when actual earnings are finally released this Wednesday.






According to contacts within the company, Apple may have exaggerated earnings loss for the quarter: "Apple has gone a little bit overboard when forecasting lower revenues," one source said, "in fact they wouldn`t be as bad as originally announced."

Other, independent, Apple sources have reported being told to gobble up Apple stock prior to the earnings announcement, for the company expects shares to surge on "not as bad as previously expected" earnings.

"It wouldn`t surprise me," one trusted analyst told AppleInsider correspondents. "In the past Apple has warned of lower than expected earning and provided figures only to release much more respectable numbers two weeks later."

The company has cited poor Power Mac G4 Cube sales and lower than expected sales in the education market as two of the primary reasons for the lower numbers. Apple also only recently introduced the $799 iMac and new iBooks, and is currently juggling several product transitions, which includes a dead spot in its PowerBook offerings.

Apple will release its official results after the close of the stock market on Wednesday and will host a conference call at 2 p.m. (PDT).
