Apple hits new high after Piper Jaffray raises price target to US$200
The unstoppable Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) bandwagon rolled on Tuesday, hitting a new intra-day high after broker Piper Jaffray tipped the stock would hit US$200.
The stock, which hit an all-time intra-day high yesterday of US$168.07, rose to US$168.69 from last night’s close of US$166.72 in early trading, as analysts rushed to gush about the company following strong orders for the iPhone X.

Piper Jaffray analyst Michael Olson became the third analyst to predict that Apple’s stock would surge to US$200 within the next 12 months as he raised his target price from US$196 to US$200.
The price target revision came after a recent survey indicated that iPhone owners were much more likely to upgrade to the latest models from Apple than they were in a similar survey held last year.
The recently released iPhone 8 and the available-on-order iPhone X both command higher prices than older models, so Olson has amended his fiscal 2018 estimates for average selling prices of iPhones to US$720 from US$710.
The revisions have fed through to an upgrade in Olson’s earnings per share forecast to US$11.17 from US$11.11.
Olson’s punchy price target is still eight bucks short of Drexel Burnham’s price target, which tops the range of analyst forecasts.
