ULTIMA HORA:
Apple said profit in its fiscal third quarter was $7.75 billion, up 12.3% from $6.9 billion in the year-ago period. Apple's earnings per share rose to $1.28 from $1.07
Revenue increased 6% to $37.43 billion from $35.32 billion in the same period a year earlier.
A bright spot is China. Revenue in greater China, which includes Hong Kong and Taiwan, grew 28% during the fiscal third quarter, compared with 1% growth in the Americas.
The company reported about $164.5 billion in cash holdings as of June 28.


Apple is notoriously secretive about its upcoming products, but it seems like just about everyone is expecting an iWatch and a new iPhone with a larger screen to be announced in the third calendar quarter of this year. Reports also indicate that Apple may introduce one or more devices with biometric capabilities and integrated user health monitoring technologies. No new devices were introduced this period (other than the $3B acquisition of Beats by Dre), but investors will look for growth in iPhone sales from China as a result of Apple’s recent distribution deal with China Mobile.

This quarter 139 contributing analysts on Estimize.com have come to a consensus earnings expectation of $1.29 in earnings per share and $38.810B in revenue compared to a consensus of $1.22 EPS and $37.975B from Wall Street. This quarter contributing analysts on the Estimize.com platform expect Apple to beat the Wall Street earnings consensus by 7c per share and come in $835M ahead of revenue estimates. Over the previous 6 quarters the consensus from Estimize.com has been more accurate than Wall Street in forecasting Apple’s EPS and revenue 4 times each.





Contributing analysts on the Estimize.com platform are forecasting that Apple will report 
earnings growth of 22c (20%) compared to the $1.07 reported in the same quarter of last year. 
The Estimize community also expects year over year sales growth of $3.510B (10%), making 
this a very strong quarter even by Apple’s own impressive growth standards.


Since the Estimize consensus is more representative of market expectations, it’s important to view Apple’s earnings relative to the Estimize consensus rather than the forecast from Wall Street. Statistically speaking when a company beats the Street’s consensus but fails to meet the market’s expectations as represented by the Estimize.com consensus, the stock price tends to fall rather than rise in response to the report. There’s lot of optimism surrounding Apple’s Tuesday report. The big question will be, “Can Apple continue to produce strong iPhone sales when the market smells a new model around the corner.”
