It reveals that Europe's sales is a lot better than expected, but the same trend is also reflected in other companies, such as, Sun Micro, Intel, and DEC. Can the overall growth be substained in Q2? Few will expect that will happen, but still possible. It may occur in other area.
Can Apple's "quality" quarter report boost stock price in the near future? I don't know. In next week, several key beltweather companies, such as IBM, Microsoft will give their reports, which may drive the entire tech stock up or down. Other than reports, Apple's board and shareholder meetings (2/3; 2/20 respectively) may also give it a lift.
With recent good news, Apple's stock price should be able to stablize at the current level. Whether or not it will break 20 before board meeting (2/3/98) remains to be seen. Does anybody have comments regarding Apple stock's near-term movement?
