RBC Capital Markets raised its price target on Apple from US$S175 to $205, saying it expects a stronger back-to-school season for the company’s Macs, reports Reuters.

The brokerage, which reiterated its “outperform” rating on the stock, expects Apple to report fourth-quarter revenue at $6.4 billion, above Wall Street estimates of $5.7 billion. RBC raised its earnings-per-share estimate to $4.79 from its prior view of $4.42 for fiscal 2008 and to $6.00 from $5.62 for fiscal 2009.

Shares of the company were trading up 57 cents at $174.06 in early electronic trade, after closing at $173.50 Thursday on the Nasdaq.
