Apple at $119.72: Look whose price targets are underwater now

The last time we checked, just before Thanksgiving, half of Wall Street was out of the money.

Apple’s shares grew so fast in last year — up 40% in 2014 — that the analysts who track the stock had trouble keeping up.

The last time we surveyed them, in late November, half still had 12-month price targets lower than the stock’s current price. Three guys with underwater targets rated the stock a buy. Their clients were told, in effect, to pay more for Apple than their advisors told them it was worth.

Apple’s December quarter — the most profitable in the history of capitalism — seems to have made believers out of most of the laggards. By Tuesday morning, only 9 published targets were below Monday’s $119.72 close. Three out of four were above.

Below: Our current list — as fresh and up-to-date as we can make it — from a Street-high target of $160 to a low of $60. The latter comes from Adnaan Ahmad of the German bank Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co. He’s been telling his clients to sell Apple since June 9, 2014. The iPhone story, he says, “is like an elastic band.”
