Ah, analysts. I do not trust them, most of them just blabber whatever they think people would like to hear. Journalists shouldn't cite them just because they are "analysts". This guy basically spreads a rumour. They are especially annoying when it comes to Apple, Google or Microsoft. Two thirds offer no hard data at all but try to play Captain Hindsight. I try not to use them in my articles, but I get so much pressure from editors who think "that readers want analysts insights".
