Apple Halted As It Reports $20.34 Billion In Q4 Revenue, $4.64 In Earnings, Big Miss In iPad Sales Expectations
Apple is halted as it beats top and bottom line: Q4 revenue USD 20.34BN vs. Exp. USD 18.90BN, Q4 EPS USD 4.64 vs. Exp. USD 4.10. Margins come weak, but that does not stop Steve Jobs from proclaiming: “We are blown away to report over $20 billion in revenue and over $4 billion in after-tax earnings—both all-time records for Apple.” Looks like ES is certainly not as impressed as the gaunt CEO, as the company undersells iPad by a big margin: Q4 iPads units sold 4.19mln vs. Exp. 4.81mln.
Full breakdown.
- Q4 revenue USD 20.34bln vs. Exp. USD 18.90bln
- Q4 iPhone units sold 14.1mln, up 91% vs. Exp. 11.7mln
- Q4 gross margin 36.9%
- Q4 iPod units sold 9.05mln, down 11%
- Q4 iPads units sold 4.19mln vs. Exp. 4.81mln
- Q4 operating income USD 5.45bln
- Q4 gross profit USD 7.51bl;n
- Q4 operating expenses USD 2.07bln
- Q4 net USD 4.31bln
- Q4 Mac units sold 3.89mln

CNBC saying iPods and iPads sales not as high as hoped.
Q1 EPS $4.80 vs. Exp. $5.03 estimated
So now Apple will account for what.. 58% of the NASDAQ?
What a joke.
Watch it live (afterhours trading):

thanks foreclosure crisis
AAPL - the real estate stock LOL
what about imortgages, ihouses
pretty lukewarm response from the market. guess Ben is going to have to find some other "market leader" to take to the moon.
All monies in the world bids for the same tulip.
Classic...
After all... Jobs is a "bulb."
So what?AAPL hasn't got to $375 yet,so nothing else matters.This the new paradigm,earnings and profits do not matter any more,only the value of the dollar and the expectation of more QE.
Earnings are soooo.... eighties.
Bingo. I'm sure CNBC will be able to spin this as a situation as a "what if" scenario. For example: "With the results as they are now, what if they could sell some more iPads? Imagine the possibilities!"
DJI up 100+ tomorrow. If not, Wed 'cuz of POMO.
Selling all my SLV to load up on ipads !!!
patience....the ramp will start late tonight and AAPL will open big green tomorrow. Right now, investors are trading. When they are done unloading this pig, the CPUs will start the same game as every night.
Apple..great company..fun and great easy interface products and a domination of app sales and iTunes however there are alot of considerations .
Their numbers are only and always superb because of the margins they enjoy. These margins cannot continue for all time as the discrepnancy between those with money and those without grows wider.
Expansion costs money.
Google android is the first of many phone competitors. Technology is exponential and the competiton will not many at bay.
Ipads camnibalize Macs
iPhone cannibalize iPod.
Unless Apple launches a Touch LCD and goes after Netflix or begins to work toward a digital film library aversion away from DVDs and Blurays like MP3s I see tame growth.
Maybe an entrance into gaming?
"Maybe an entrance into gaming?" God help us gamining with a one button...correction..no button, mouse
thought gamines had one button.
My problem with Apple long term. What gadget is next? I looked at the new Dell, Sony and HP touchscreen PCS this weekend and they looked alot better and were priced alot cheaper than the Apple stuff, plus they have the touchscreen controls that Apple does not.
I still remember what a bomb quadrophonic sound was (yes, old.) And I see the same thing in 3D TV: one step too far.
Wake me up when Apple brings out one of those Tom-Cruise-in-Minority-Report computer interfaces. If Apple still exists when Google and Android brings those out.
note to self: register "iMinorityreport.com" domain....
....and the other issue with aapl is their flimsy products...designed to break.
I too have been looking at the touchscreen PCs, however, in trying to actually use the interface, I have been underwhelmed. If you don't touch exactly where you should, the window won't close or the click won't register. I think that there is a mismatch between the high resolution screen and the accuracy of pointing that is required - basically the UI needs to be more forgiving and able to figure out what you are trying to do even if you don't hit exactly the right place with your finger.
I watched this afternoon as a couple of 50-something American chubbies in their t-shirts, shorts and baseball caps, gender virtually indistinguishable, played delightedly with their I-Pad on the BART across the bay.
It's a fucking TOY.
SHort.
Would someone like to explain the close SPY?
yes indeed, 106.46 -9.55% ??
That's what I call wishful thinking :D
The chart on CNN money showed the plunge a couple minutes ago, but now it's all gone. Though they still report the -9.5!
Nothing to see here!
No Shit
Flash Crash Bitchez
ref: /dx (dollar index) blew it's load all over the futures
Someone big betting on a reversal or thin "market"?
Someone big like a SWF. I'm not sure but thats some big money trading.
I've said it before and I'll say it again... Math in pictures bitchez. The chart needed to "look corrected" and computers made it happen.
WTF?
Nothing to worry about. WOPR will have everything sorted out by the open.
before there was all this hi-technology and super electronic trading, stocks were not halted just because of earnings release.
why the halt??
To my memory apple hasn't halted before....when it was reporting blow out blow out earnings.
NASDAQ has been pulling this crap for the last few quarters. I remember AA halted on no news for the last two periods! INTC is always halted....snooze.
EDIT: i bet it is due toreset Algo loops. on a "halt" , set count=0;
my bet - someone unfairly benefits
AHAHAHAHAHA!!! You know, the great thing about these "growth forever" stories is watching them fall flat on their face. I'm licking my chops for the day I can watch AAPL's parabolic chart implode and take the market down with it.
QQQQ sinking
This is quite simple, really.
1) French "unrest" leads to Euro selloff and $ strength for the next two weeks or so.
2) Dollar "recovers" back up to 79 or so USDX. Gold and other commodities go down.
3) Stock "market" doesn't drop, however, as Fed/POMO/PD alliance keeps it up through daily purchases of AAPL.
4) Fed now free to announce QE2, as scheduled, on 11/3.
+1, Mr. Turd.
AAPL will be up 10% tomorrow on these news lol
IBM is also down >3% post earnings.
NDX futures down >1% post IBM and AAPL earnings.
VMW, CRM joining the party.
QE(¥)
We've got a cascading waterfall happening in after hours trading... This market as we know has been artificially propped up for too long. The only strong up days have been POMO. When there's selling, we get a Doji to offset the BS buying. Something's going to give big time. This can't and won't last forever...
ouch did we just hear a pop... Apple bubble bursting.
Stocks taken out back and shot:
VMW
IBM
AMZN
AAPL
RVBD
CRM
H
vmw -7%
++1
by 4:00 tomorrow IBM and AAPL could be 'unched'
VMW.... put a fork in it
remember GS and BAC report in the morning, so we could see rotation in to the banks... who knows.
What a crock, do any of these companies pay any taxes?! (hint: NO!)
CNBC
Apple Profit Blows Past Forecasts on Strong iPhone Sales
http://www.cnbc.com/id/39725163
Gotta give credit to cnbc
those bastards already cahnged headline to
"
Apple Profit Beats Forecasts, but iPad Sales Light"
Damn...
Same as WSJ Online. After hours selloff just a footnote. More skittles for everybody!
Currently $296 prints in a/h...
Owned.
And CNBC won't show the trading and percent down after a teensy 10 second comment.
Fast Money being "allowed" to talk about Apple #s, but only after they said that this is a buying opportunity.

Sorry!!!! I was trying to delete the repeated comments. FAIL!
QE2 will fix it in a jiffy, no problemo
timber!!
I'm sure Harry Wanger sold at the peak LOL.
In previous post, Harry said he sold before the $310 cutoff.
What you guys think?
http://www.cnbc.com/id/39727942
This is the smarter money preparing for what is coming!
Ben, this is Tim. Buy $6 B SPY at market
Buy $6 Billion AAPL at market........now.
Look at $, gold, IBM and Apple. Not so pretty after hours.
But BAC will save the markets as it resubmits resigned foreclosure docs.
good call earlier by Reggie Middleton on Apple
Where is Wanger...him not being here yet is like Leo not commenting on a Chinese solars release.
DROID bbbbeeeeeeeeeeiiiiittttttccccchhhhhhweeeeeezzzzzzzzzzz
I agree, Im thinkin about going back to sprint
ZH is the only reason I'm even on the grid at all. Just watched Die Hard 4 again - everything is computerized - accounts stocks all of it could go to ziltch in a split second - I need to buy more silver coins - they just look cool and seem to be worth more lately too ;)
Somewhere safer where the feelin stays
I want to love you but I get so blown away (cue guitar solo)
And the next twenty quarters will be even better! Gotta love crAAPL, proof that infinite growth is indeed possible. I would say that ten trillion dollars is what it will sell for someday.
So how much did Benni spend on AAPL today?
IBM getting hammered after hourd-down 5 bucks!
Wow, can you imagine how much the shorts will be raking it in thanks to the sell side jerkoffs who swore $400 and $500 was next for aapl?
In two weeks it will be back at 375.;)
Two weeks?! Possibly 20 minutes.
Hedgies getting spooked by a missed forecast on a new product?
iPad has had one of the fastest adoption rates of any consumer technology ever.
http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/10/ipad-adoption-rate-fastest-in-...
However, other than the coolness factor, what is the real utility, what can you actually do that you can not do on a laptop and it worth the price? Will the tablet product segment burnout like the notebooks did? Will Apple's model of launching buggy minimal feature 1st generation devices fly with mass market? Will this fjukin iPhone make it through a whole phone call?
I guess the apple zombies didn't feel like paying up for essentially a weak minicomputer. a sad day for screen-tappers around the globe
This news alone was what crashed the stock futures after market close?
they haven't really even opened up the markets to China. once Apple widely starts selling its pads out here, those ipads will have blow out numbers. was at a conference in HK last week and every Dick and Jane had one. Mainland wants it in numbers, Apple is creating the demand and making the mainlanders paitiently wait their turn. then BAM!! I would love nothing more if this thing went down, because I personally see real growth here.

What I find quite funny is that on Bloomberg (as I heard on my local radio station) Apple KILLED with earnings, far beyond expectations.
Just like Ford, Apple needs to follow suit and guarantee their success with an iFinance division.
