If you are the one who watch the Apple’s Stock closely, then here’s something you’ll see on Friday. The Stocks are going to explode as the new iPad gets released to the public at the Apple Stores at some parts of the world. Analysts Gene Munster and Pipper Jaffray have found that the Cupertino based company would sell over a million new iPads on Friday alone. This is a positive note for the company, and this number is achievable since people have been waiting for the new iPad since last holiday.
Munster thinks that, even if the new iPad doesn’t reach this whooping number on the first day of sales, it would be a win-win for the investors and Apple:
“That said, even if iPad sales are less than 10 (million) in (the March quarter), we see it as a win-win given investors will attribute the miss to a slowdown ahead of the new iPad and start to anticipate a strong rebound in the June-12 quarter,”
He also shared some more statistics of the previous iPads comparing it with the new iPad:
“The company took 600 (thousand) pre-orders in one day (6/5/10) before systems were overloaded and pre-orders were halted. Then on 6/24 retail sales began and by 6/26 (with 3 days of sales) the company had sold 1.7 (million) iPHone 4 units. Given the new iPad will be sold in 12 countries on 3/16, we are confident the company will sell over 1 (million) on launch day.”
We think this is a huge number and this would boost the Apple Ecosystem a step further. And with the new iPhone expected to come out this June or October, looks like Apple is having a great year ahead!
