Apple (AAPL) Earnings Predictions - January 24, 2012
Current Stock Price - $422
Revenue Estimates - 38.9 Billion
Earnings Estimates - $10.08
iPhone Sales Estimates - 33-35 Million
Apple (AAPL) will report earnings after the close tonight, 1/24/12. The stock is usually halted right before the earnings news. I am going to predict that Apple sells 35.5 million iPhones, does 42 Billion in Revenue, and EPS comes in at $10.53 per share. The stock sells off to $410 and then rebounds back to $425.
We will know in an hour, anyone have a prediction?

They are close to their all time high of 431, not a lot of room for the upside. But if the iPhone 4S figures are more than expected, their earnings could be better than estimates and we will see a little bump, we will know soon enough.
AAPL stock halted
sold 37 million iphones
revenue - 46.33 billion
eps - 13.87
earned 13.06 billion in net income
Damnnn!! This company is unreal!!!
But now the question is, can they keep this momentum going, probably not. Maybe after the iPhone 5 is released at the end of 2012 or 2013
what a surprise apple blew away earnings yet again. i just love this company have been trading it for years it has been really good to me thanks aapl
the strongest company in the world
Apple is insane....they need to announce a share buyback on the next major dip as well as pay a quarterly dividend.
AAPL will probably not do well here despite a monster quarter. Analysts are already looking toward next quarter and the bar has been set really high.
