Smith Barney upgrades AAPL
has upgraded its rating on Apple to Buy, despite yesterday's news that Apple's next iMac won't be ready until September. Smith Barney is maintaining a $37 12-month price target for the stock. "Catalysts between now and year-end include the launch of iPod mini in Europe in July, download data updates from the recent launch of iTunes Music Store in Europe, iPod orders from new partner HP beginning in July, volume shipments of the new PowerMac G5 in 3CQ, the launch of the new flat panel iMac late in 3CQ and, finally, the opening of additional retail stores in Europe," the firm's research note reads. "We would be aggressive buyers on this morning's weakness."

Stunning
I continue to be stunned by the analysts today. How did they all of a sudden figure it out when it comes to Apple after all these years???
