Morgan Stanley has raised its target share price for Apple to $152 ahead of what could be "all-time record" earnings.
In an investors note relayed by Philip Elmer-DeWitt Katy Huberty writes:
Our recent conversations suggest investors expect Apple to release solid, but not great, December quarter results. We disagree and believe that Apple is likely to report all-time record quarterly revenue and earnings.
Our checks point to strength across Apple's entire Product and Services portfolio, and we model double digit Y/Y growth for all 5 revenue segments in the December quarter, with risk skewed to the upside for iPhone, Mac and Services.
Specifically, Morgan Stanley estimates Apple's December Quarter revenue earnings will be $108.2 billion, 5% ahead of consensus. That would come thanks to earnings per share estimates of $1.50, around 7% above consensus.
According to reports earlier this week, consensus earnings per share for Apple sits at $1.39 billion. From that report:
New reports indicate Apple could unveil a bumper earnings report at its call on January 27, possibly making it Apple's first-ever $100 billion quarter.
First, from LLD:

Apple will announce its earnings at a call on January 27 at 2 pm PT.
