“Apple is on tap to report results for its fiscal third quarter after the market closes Tuesday,” Jennifer Booton reports for MarketWatch. “Analysts on average expect Apple to report earnings per share of $1.40, down from $1.85 in the year-earlier period, according to FactSet. Estimize, a software platform that uses crowdsourcing from hedge fund executives, brokerages and buy-side analysts to predict earnings, has Apple earning slightly more, at $1.42 a share. Apple missed both the FactSet and Estimize consensus estimate last quarter, snapping a 13-quarter streak of beating the FactSet consensus.”
“Sell-side analysts expect Apple to report revenue of $42.2 billion, according to FactSet, down from $49.6 billion in the same period last year. Contributors on Estimize are forecasting revenue of $42.1 billion,” Booton reports. “Roughly 40 million phones are expected to have been sold during the quarter, according to FactSet, compared with 48 million in the same quarter last year.”
“Apple is expected to announce software and services revenue of $6 billion for its fiscal third quarter, according to FactSet,” Booton reports. “That would be $1 billion more than the same quarter a year ago and again make the sector Apple’s second-largest moneymaker behind the iPhone, with the Mac business expected to come in third at $5.5 billion, according to FactSet.”

Expect Apple’s going to tank tonight, folks.😖😬😅
Yup, it’s preordained unfortunately. I’ll bet it’s somewhere around 5% down in after hours trading. JMO
I happily sit corrected post-report 😉
Well, when MacRumors is recommending “do not buy” on virtually the whole Mac lineup, it’s safe to say that something is off at Apple.
“Estimize, a software platform that uses crowdsourcing from hedge fund executives, brokerages and buy-side analysts to predict earnings”
It’s pretty pathetic that something ( apiece of software that amasses opinions (not facts, but opinions/crowdsourcing) instead of facts is given any credibility by financial media. I SMH at the idea financial media has become a bunch of whores no different than political media and gossip columnists.
