How reliable do you consider "analysts" to be?

How much weight do you put into the opinions of "analysts?" For example, Yahoo/Thompson puts the "price target" of AAPL to be 614 (I only chose AAPL because that seems popular among you guys).There's no way for them to know that for sure, of course, but is there any merit to analyses like this at all?
