Quarterly iPad Revenue Has a 68% Correlation With Apple's Stock Price [Chart]
Bloomberg Businessweek has posted a report noting that quarterly iPad revenue has a 68% correlation with Apple's stock price. The iPad accounted for $31 billion of Apple's revenue last year which is about 20% of total sales.

Quarterly iPad revenue has a 68 percent correlation with Apple’s share price. That’s higher than the stock’s correlations to iPhone revenue (62 percent) or Mac revenue (40 percent).

Apple may also be launching OS X Mavericks around the same time. It recently sent an email to developersasking them to submit their apps for the new desktop operating system.
