Apple(AAPL Quote) added $4.12, or 2.3%, to $181.17 after an analyst at Merill Lynch raised his price target on the stock to $215 from $186 on increased confidence in Apple's ability to get a bigger market share in the smartphone market. A Goldman Sachs analyst also added Apple on Thursday to its America's Conviction Buy list and raised his price target on the stock to $220 from $185.

Dell(DELL Quote) gained 30 cents, or 1.4%, to $21.19 after an analyst at Morgan Stanley upgraded the stock to overweight from equal weight and set a price target of $28. A shift to lower-priced systems in the server market could benefit the company, said the analyst.

Sun Microsystems(JAVA Quote) lost 33 cents, or 2.5%, to $12.81 after an analyst at Morgan Stanley cut rating on the stock to underweight. Sun's market share in the server business is at risk since demand declines, said the analyst.
