Are they using primarily technical analysis, fundamental analysis, or other methods? If one looks at value and management quality, AAPL doesn't look as overpriced as many other stocks, especially within the technology/consumer goods sector. I mostly agree with what you say here. The linked article was based on the analysts calls on the third quarter numbers, not on their calls on where Apple shares will go. You are talking about a different rating about the quality of their coverage of Apple share price. There are biases that they have for and against a stock and company. I remember when PED first started covering Apple, if I am remembering correctly, he was more anti-Apple but he changed his mind based on what he saw and now he runs the PED30 website which covers Apple in a pretty fair manner.
