Apple's stock value will benefit from MacBooks Pro success and iPhone 3GS expansion

An analyst at UBS is placing a temporary confidence in the purchase of papers from Apple, raising his price estimate to $ 170 per share. Among the factors that led him to this conclusion are his hope for a last quarter of sales for the MacBook Pro and the international expansion of the iPhone 3GS, two things that will represent an increase in the company's profits in the short term.

On the other hand, speculative estimates were also made. He really looks forward to the launch of a Ma product similar to a tablet with 3G connectivity provided by Verizon Wireless new iPods (which can be considered an imminent fact to increase its holiday sales) and new operators for the sale of the iPhone in 2009 (perhaps in China and in European countries, non-exclusively).

Although these facts are somewhat positive, an increase in the prices of components used by Apple should still influence its results for the fourth fiscal quarter, to be closed next month. Possible advertisements in the product line, in turn, should only have an effect on profits for the first fiscal quarter of 2010.

Apple shares (AAPL) are down slightly at this time (-0.74%), quoted at $ 164.29.
