Apple updated its investor relations page today to note that it will announce its earnings for the second fiscal quarter (first calendar quarter) of 2015 on Monday, April 27. The quarterly earnings statement will be released sometime 1:30 PM Pacific/4:30 PM Eastern, with a conference call to discuss the report taking place at 2:00 PM Pacific/5:00 PM Eastern.

The earnings release will provide a look at sales of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus during the period following Apple's record-breaking first quarter as well as iPad and Mac sales throughout the first few months of 2015. For the first quarter of 2015, Apple announced revenue of $74.6 billion and net quarterly profit of $18 billion, on 74.5 million iPhone sales, 5.5 million Mac sales, and 21.4 million iPad sales. April's earnings call will come three days after the Apple Watch release, but will not include Apple Watch sales figures.

During its first quarter earnings report, Apple provided Q2 2015 guidance of $52 to $55 billion in revenue and gross margin between 38.5 and 39.5 percent.

MacRumors will provide coverage of both the earnings release and conference call on April 27.

It's really scary being an investor when the earnings come out. Unless Apple has shattered estimates by tens of billions of dollars, it seems like AAPL stock tanks 5% or more.

But the formula is simple. If it's up after hours, sell. If down, buy.
 
Interesting. Apple has said it won't break out sales figures, but since release weekend will have just passed I'm sure Tim Cook will get some questions about the Apple Watch launch if they haven't issued a press release or given an update of some kind by that time. The first time we'll actually see an impact in the Accessories segment won't be until July.

More important will be how well the iPhone 6 sold in the current quarter.
 
It's just a guess, but I am thinking the call will sound like this --

At apple, we have made gobs of money and we cant find any more matresses to stuff. We have therefore decided to buy a country. We are in Negotiations with South Korea and as such our first action will be to dismattle Samsung.

If this purchase fails we are also looking at buying the state of washington and dismantling Microsoft (although we recognize they are already doing that on their own).

:D

Three days after the watch roll out. May be the best it will ever be. Finger on the trigger to sell my 5000 shares.....
 
AAPL Dividend update?

So is the April earnings call when Apple usually updates their stock dividend payout? Do any pundits expect any change in the Apple dividend per share?
 
Really excited for this. I'm expecting blockbuster numbers yet again as Apple's ability to innovate continues to outperform even the wildest expectations.
 
Not really

The last thing a decent investor does is announce how many shares they have on a public forum.

I disagree. It's not like you know who he is. And I guess he was just sharing enthusiasm and letting some steam vent, believing he was among fellow Mac heads who may also invest in apple and are feeling the rush right now - I know I am.
I'm also jealous of not having enough cash to own 5000 shares but I'm not gonna start lashing out on someone because of it.
But hey. That's me...:rolleyes:

Not lashing, just being a smart investor. It's not hard to dox macrumor forum posters.

Yeah you are you jelly jelly doxer. :p


PS: I hope you realize I'm just messing around as I believe this forum could benefit from not having users categorizing others as "worse ever something".
I'm no mod. So feel free to talk as you wish. I was just trying to bring the tone down.
