The analyst firm cited findings from its own survey of iPod users, according to CBSMarketWatch: "The $100 price target means the stock would trade at 37 times the broker's calendar 2006 earnings and cash estimate per share. 'While this multiple is a premium to the comp group, we believe it is warranted given the growth potential of the iPod and its carryover to the core Mac business,'" AAPL is more than percent, trading near $57 in pre-open Monday trading.
