I am a little confused by this article. The data included in the article shows GS predicting an EPS of $2.76 vs, a consensus of $2.65. It refers a 12 month downside risk of 14.5%, I do not see anything in the data to confirm that. It appears that he may have confused the Q/Q estimate with a Y/Y estimate. I also noticed that the Growth (%) column gives the Gross margin numbers as PP instead of %, meaning that it is the difference in the percentages rather than the difference in growth. Could this have led him astray? Given the introduction of new phones in the fall, a 14% Q/Q drop does not seem unreasonable, but Y/Y? The article says GS is less enthusiastic about profit margins because they estimate 38% vs a consensus of 38.2%. I doubt if anyone's estimates are accurate to .2%. I don't see how the numbers in the red circle justify the claimed $164 price target. What am I missing?

A blind eye?

Are we going to 190 for monthly options expiration?

Classic Evil Overlord GS move. Talk down a stock publicly, then recommend it to your clients at a discount.

Not a very big difference at 190, so *maybe* it won't run us down. Huge open interest though.

Yeah. But at 190 all those contracts, on both sides, expire worthless.
