Apple sets Q2 report for April 23rd
Apple has announced April 23rd has the formal date for its second-quarter financial report. The company should begin its conference call with investors at 2PM Pacific time on that date, and allow others to listen in via a simultaneous webcast. The link for this has not yet been published, but should become available in the near future.
The second quarter is said to traditionally be Apple's weakest, coming after the holiday season but before any major events such as WWDC, or the run-up to the fall school season. Earlier this year, Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer offered a predicted revenue guidance of $6.8 billion for the quarter, with an earnings-per-share rating of $0.94.
Aiding Apple should be the release of several important products, such as the MacBook Air, and upgraded standard MacBooks. The company also introduced new Mac Pros, new capacities for the iPhone and the iPod touch, and a revised Apple TV, complete with movie rentals in the US and expanded TV show sales outside of the country.
