This is a discussion thread for the "Apple Holding Second Quarter Financial Results Conference Call Next Tuesday" story posted on the front page.
The stock wont react quite as positively as last quarter. The decrease in computer sales will be a little harmful, and I also think this quarter will see a decrease in iPhone sales compared to the previous quarters. Plus the stock has risen like crazy (except for the last few week), so IMO it would take a really surprising result to move the stock much
Market cap has nothing to do with how many units they will sell. Market cap is how much they are worth, and that changes every day by the people buying Apple stock
You're right, but with their newly launched iPad, 25 billion apps downloaded, among other things, if they don't beat last quarter's sales then'd have come very close to doing it.
They always sell the most of everything over the holiday season. So if they can beat their previous quarter then ill be surprised.
