S&P CAPITAL IQ DOWNGRADES OPINION ON APPLE TO HOLD FROM BUY, BASED ON VALUATION
(S&P Capital IQ)

We raise our 12-month target to $650 from $625, based on revised relative P/E and P/E-to-growth
analysis using our calendar year '14 EPS forecast. AAPL rose 13% year to date and 40% over the past
year, versus comparable S&P 500 gains of 4% and 16%. AAPL also announces the proposed purchases of
Beat Electronics and Beats Music for consideration of $3 billion, and we think the deal would enhance the
company's already considerable accessories and music services offerings/businesses, and add to its cache.
We also note AAPL's Worldwide Developers Conference is set to start June 2.
