Apple on Monday announced it will reveal financial results for its first fiscal quarter of 2015 on Jan. 27, with company executives expected to field questions covering what is anticipated to be another blockbuster for the tech giant.




Announced through Apple's Investor Relations webpage, the company's results conference call will cover the holiday quarter ending in December, traditionally a lucrative time period for the iPhone maker.

For the last fiscal quarter of 2014, Apple set a new record of $8.5 billion in profits on revenue of $42.1 billion, largely buoyed by massive iPhone sales reaching 39 million.

Apple offered a forward-looking statement in October, guiding revenue between $63.5 billion and $66.5 billion, with gross margins between 37.5 percent and 38.5 percent. Operating expenses are expected to be in the $5.4 billion to $5.5 billion range with an effective tax rate of 26.5 percent.

Apple's conference call for the first quarter of 2015 is schedule for Tuesday, Jan. 27 at 2 p.m. Pacific/5 p.m. Eastern. AppleInsider will cover the event live and Apple is providing a real-time audio stream through its website.

    When Apple says 50 large, it's not thousands, it's not millions, it's billions. It will be quite a milestone when they become a trillion dollar company.

    Yeah. The first news worth reading all day.

    CES is as exciting as walking through a mall.

    This is going to be the biggest quarter for any company in the history of capitalism.

     

    And AAPL will take a big hit immediately following the call.

     

    But it's okay -- the cream rises, and Apple is the cream of technology companies.

    Humongous but disappoitning will be the meme. The stock will drop as usual. I’m beginning to believe Apple is the most disrespected compnay traded on Wall Street.

    Which is why Apple will go private one day. Mark my words. There is no reason for them to remain publicly traded. Will take years, but they will march toward that goal.

    How is that even close to being possible?

    Here's my prediction: the numbers will be blow away but "analysts" will focus on soft iPad numbers. Oh and some how guidance will indicate doom for ?Watch.

    Current Market Cap is lower than two years ago. Apparently no progress since then! Enormously higher profits are just a future drop in profits waiting to happen. The stock market has lost touch with reality. Cook tried to tie the stock to how well they're doing, with a big dividend and big stock buybacks, to no avail. At least so far.

    Market capitalization is the total value of the shares outstanding of a publicly traded company; it is equal to the share price times the number of shares outstanding. Have you forgotten about the $100 billion in stock buyback over past 3 years, nimrod?

    Hope these results do wonders for this stock. Planning to pick up another couple grand's worth tomorrow. But knowing Wall Street's sociopathic behaviour when it comes to AAPL, who knows.

    One thing is for sure. Apple is going to completely blow away any result that any company has ever posted in human history.

    In theory the buyback should reduce shares outstanding and increase the price with no effect on mkt cap. Who are you insulting??

    Ahhh, isn't that nice of Apple.

    Instead of the usual announcement around the 20th they decided to postpone the news for one more week so all their competitors have a little breathing room.

    Or maybe Apple is having a little fun making them wait an extra week so they can suffer in agony waiting for the inevitable.

    Thankfully the stock price has no relation to the profitability of the company. For novice investors, they must be tearing their hair out the way AAPL is pummeled over the thinnest of excuses... Why the hell is AAPL being crushed because of falling oil prices...or the possibility that Greece will be summarily booted out of the EU? Maybe bloating, gassiness or leg cramps are all Apple's fault too?

    The only possible way Apple would or could go private is if they really started hurting, sort of like how the whole Dell going private scenario occurred.
