Full release:

Apple® today announced financial results for its fiscal 2011 first
quarter ended December 25, 2010. The Company posted record revenue of
$26.74 billion and record net quarterly profit of $6 billion, or $6.43
per diluted share. These results compare to revenue of $15.68 billion
and net quarterly profit of $3.38 billion, or $3.67 per diluted share,
in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin was 38.5 percent compared to 40.9
percent in the year-ago quarter. International sales accounted for 62
percent of the quarter’s revenue.

Apple sold 4.13 million Macs during the quarter, a 23 percent unit
increase over the year-ago quarter. The Company sold 16.24 million
iPhones in the quarter, representing 86 percent unit growth over the
year-ago quarter. Apple sold 19.45 million iPods during the quarter,
representing a seven percent unit decline from the year-ago quarter. The
Company also sold 7.33 million iPads during the quarter.

“We had a phenomenal holiday quarter with record Mac, iPhone and iPad
sales,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “We are firing on all cylinders
and we’ve got some exciting things in the pipeline for this year
including iPhone 4 on Verizon which customers can’t wait to get their
hands on.”

“We couldn’t be happier with the performance of our business, generating
$9.8 billion in cash flow from operations during the December quarter,”
said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple’s CFO. “Looking ahead to the second fiscal
quarter of 2011, we expect revenue of about $22 billion and we expect
diluted earnings per share of about $4.90.”

Apple will provide live streaming of its Q1 2011 financial results
conference call beginning at 2:00 p.m. PST on January 18, 2011 at www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/earningsq111.
This webcast will also be available for replay for approximately two
weeks thereafter.

Last year at about this time oil was trading at about $76 and most other commodities are up between 60-140% depending on what you are looking at.

In other words, our quality of life (as a country) has gone down.

I posted earlier that they wouldn't have released the Jobs news yesterday if they did not have blow out earnings. Didn't make sense. Well, here are your blow out earnings and the "dip" this morning turned out to be the buying opportunity of the year.

Unless you were able to time that very short dip perfectly (and the little spike midday), people who bought this morning and sold this evening made at most 2 or 3 percent. Not bad, but not 'the buying opportunity of the year'. And even if you did time the dip and spike perfectly...still only 5%. You did sell at the spike, right?

Harry, do you actually read the posts on ZH or do you just comment?

Do you think that it is a bullish sign when more executives are selling their AAPL shares than buying them? - see insider selling to buying ratio over the past months.

Analyzing your posts you're a pathological liar who collects his food stamps every Thursday at 10 AM.

How do you respond to Steve Jobs exchanging his Apple options for shares in 2003, right before one of the greatest runs in American corporate history? At the time, it was very bearish, and very wrong.  Had he kept the options, his Apple net worth would be over $13 billion, rather than his measly $3 billion today.  

In fact, it has the dubious distinction of being labeled "The Worst Trade of all Time" by WSJ.

I do like the iPhone. Once you get past all of the cutsey puppydog apps and other useless shit, there is some good stuff, particularly in the music making genre. There's some apps that are really useful music making packages, that aren't toys. I'm pretty excited about a few of them. The music industry is really starting to embrace the platform.

That's not to say that Android couldn't do it, or even better, I'm sure that eventually they will. Right now apple really has it down when it comes to delivering the apps to your phone cheaply and reliably.

As for the coming year, I'm not sure what they've got that would give them a repeat performance. I think you'll either have minor cosmetic iPad or iPhone tweaks, minor software or performance tweaks. If they bring something out that blows the current iPhones out of the water in performance, it would appeal to power users, but there's no way they can get millions of people to make a major upgrade this soon.

I think 2011 will have the competition really nipping their heels. They've blown their wad.

From a marketing standpoint, the Iphone is nearing it's end of it's lifecycle.

Ipad isn't doing what was expected.

Competition IS EVERYWHERE.

 

THE HIGHER YOU CLIMB....

well, from a selling standpoint, the iPhone is kicking ass and the verizon sells the iPhone next month and the iPad is doing what is expected.  They were looking for 7M in sales.

I'm not a believer but hey, don't fight the tape. They sold lots of iThings, great, I'll make a couple of grand off the stock and get out tomorrow. Just another day in QE play land.

Competition will now have to compete with greatly reduced IShit prices, me thinks... 

Being first is the gift that keeps on giving.

Phillips, IBM, NCR... they all used to be great innovators.

IBM is the only one that made a recovery after it went to the gutters.

From now on when I see someone with one of those "Will Work 4 Food" signs the first thing I'll ask them is if they now, or at any time in the past, have ever owned an "i" anything. If the answer is yes I plan to point and laugh.
