Apple plans to conduct a conference call to discuss financial results of its first fiscal quarter – the 2012 Christmas quarter – on Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. ET.
As usual, MacDailyNews plans to cover the call with live notes.
On October 25, 2012, Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer gave Q113 revenue guidance of “about $52 billion and diluted earnings per share of about $11.75.”
Current analysts’ consensus estimates call for $54.50 billion in revenue and $13.32 EPS.
On January 23rd, the webcast will be available here.
This will be a historical call – first ever $50+B quarter in history…of any company!
Historic is right. Will start the uptrend the stock deserves.
The analysts may now start overestimating their expected results, so that rampant stock manipulation can resume.
Analysts!! Start your speculators!
Let’s do a little addition here. 50 million iPhones at $650 a pop. 30 million iPads at $550 a pop. 5 million Macs at $1,200 a pop. 10 million iPods at $200 a pop. That all adds up to $57 billion. Now sprinkle in a few $ billion in iTunes and App Store revenue. We’re talking about a $60 billion quarter with $18 billion in net earnings. That’s my best guess…
“On October 25, 2012, Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer gave Q113 revenue guidance of “about $52 billion and diluted earnings per share of about $11.75.” ”
I don’t know what people are talking about when they say Apple gave weak guidance. Off the top of my head, I recall a year ago, guidance was about $37B and $9.30. That’s a 40.5% revenue increase, and a 26% profit increase.
Also, it implies for FY2013, that Apple will have full-year sales far in excess of $200B. And, profit should exceed $50 a share.
Yeah !!!kill all those bullshit , make all bullshit look stupid !!!
Now who could argue with that? I think we’re all indebted to Raymond for clearly stating what needed to be said.
