Analyst sees Apple's stock hitting $2000 by 2015
With some Elliott Wave proponents looking for a drop to $510 in Apple's stock, there are many who expect the stock to rise sharply. Take independent analyst Andy M. Zaky. Unlike technical analysts who look at the action of the stock itself to predict where a stock is going, Zaky uses fundamental analysis which looks at the business and earnings of a company. Zaky uses a stock's P/E (Price to Earnings ratio) to determine if a stock is a buy or a sell and the analyst says that even if Apple's current P/E of 14 doesn't move higher, the stock will be $2000 by 2015.

Zaky makes that call by assuming that the "E" part of the equation, earnings, will rise sharply. From its current trailing twelve months earnings figure of $41.04 a share, the analyst sees Apple's TTM earnings more than tripling to $145.96 by the fourth quarter of 2015. That would work out to a stock price of $2,043.44 at the current P/E ratio, giving the company a two trillion dollar market cap. Apple would then be worth more than any company has ever been valued at in the history of world markets.

Zaky sees 55 million units of the Apple iPhone shipping in the first quarter of 2013 with 80 million units being shipped the next year. For the first quarter of 2015, the analyst expects Apple to ship 110 million units of its iconic smartphone. He says that 2014 will see Apple's peak as a growth company and  this growth will stall as the tech giant become a mature firm in 2015. And for those keeping track, during 2015 we should see the 9th generation Apple iPhone launch.

Apple stock will fail by 2015!!! it's already overrated and overpriced..

17. PhoneLuver posted on 3 days ago, 06:33 2

Totally agree! They're the new Blackberry/Nokia! Arrogantly ignoring the market direction and user's wishes only to be surprised when the market "suddenly" shifts away and shuns their devices!

Before that happened, Windows 8 will already be stealing Apple's marketshare. 2015 is the right time for Windows (Phone) 8 to take off

Windows 8 will take share from android not Apple.

Can I borrow your crystal ball?

31. davecann2 posted on 3 days ago, 13:04 2

Sorry iamcc,

But I have to agree with taco50 on this one. I think Apple users will remain loyal while Android users will become increasingly interested in Windows 8. Especially once developers realize its easier to develop for Windows then Android. Just my opinion.

This analysis assumes too many things are going to be stable. And if there is one thing you should know about the market is that it is anything but stable especially in this time period. We are seeing so much market volatility now that it will probably not stabilize until another couple years from now. So I hope no one puts stock (haha get it?) in this analysis.

It's hard to predict the future of Apple especially with Steve Jobs gone. However Apple is the only company innovating right now in the mobile field. If the people Jobs left in place keep on the same path I wouldn't be surprised if Apple's stock hits $2,000.

oh yah like the ip4s and new ipad, those were just revolutionary lmao.

Apple is the only company innovating right now in the mobile field...really??!! When this year or 5 years ago?! Why apple the only company knows technology?! So sad your always here in pa commenting and pa never failed to write articles about companies recent innovations. Yeah you just read article about apple and android.

They reached 2000 and at the same time a lot of news about workers in foxconn company getting a hazardous working environment, unpaid salaries and ot. Getting rich at the expense of taking advantage of poor people.

And what exactly has Apple innovated?

19. -box- posted on 3 days ago, 08:10

Here's what taco thinks are "innovations": higher res screens, higher res cameras, multiple processors, and a notification bar and other small software tweaks to enhance usability.

Gosh, sounds like everyone else, doesn't it? Especially (gasp) Android! And guess what? Those are called "evolutionary changes", not "innovations"

I think this analyst either overbought apple stock and wants it to skyrocket for their own greed, or recommended it to friends and isn't seeing it go the way they want it. I see apple following the rise and sharp declines of RIM, Palm, Kodak, IBM, and to a point, Nokia (though Nokia and IBM are on the rise)

"Here's what taco thinks are "innovations": higher res screens, higher res cameras, multiple processors, and a notification bar and other small software tweaks to enhance usability"

You're thinking of android. Android makers aren't innovating so they make bigger screens and faster processors to try and differentiate. It hasn't worked.

Than androids quad core phones with more than 300 ppi (by apples definition a retina display) and cameras of higher quality than the ip4s and notification bar all must be inovative. Apple had dual core after everyone else, a notification bar after android and higher resolution cameras before them. They also have small software tweaks. So how was the ip4s more innovative than android. (with the exception of Siri)

You are an idiot taco...

23. EclipseGSX posted on 3 days ago, 10:29 1

only company innovating? HAHAHA

24. mas11 posted on 3 days ago, 10:35

You mean stealing not innovating. You can thank Android for that awesome notification system. Plus they stole their technology from Motorola. Remember this enlightening article?

taco, lol, you are by far the cutest little follower of the iHerd yet.. almost soo innocent sounding in your blind FANBOYiOSM :(

Don't just see technology through the narrow vision of Apple's eye!
