Fiscal 3Q 2014 Final Estimates

As of Monday's close of $96.45 AAPL is trading at a 13.0x multiple on my next-twelve-months EPS estimate (9.8x ex-cash).

None of my estimates include any new product categories, but I do expect a new iPhone in late September and new iPads in November. Since I really doubt the market has decided to fully value Apple's current product lines as I project them (within my theory of 10x fwd EPS plus cash), it's clear that expectations about new categories for this year and next are somewhat baked into the current price. Keep this in mind as we get past the earnings report and rest of the year announcements.
