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?
