Gene Munster: Macs Up, iPods Down

Posted by: Arik Hesseldahl on December 15, 2008

PiperJaffray’s Gene Munster just issued a note with the latest NPD sales data, and it more or less confirms the thesis of the story I did for the Dec. 15 issue of the magazine: Units sales of Macs are up 11% year-over-year in the first two months of the holiday quarter, suggesting Apple will sell between 2.5 million and 2.7 million Macs in the quarter.

iPod sales, however, are tracking down 18% year-over-year as of the end of November suggesting unit sales of 18.5 million to 19 million, which would represent a drop of more than 3 million units from last year.

Still? Munster maintains an aggressive price target: $235. As I type these words Apple is trading at $93.41.
