On Monday Apple will announce its first results for the 2010 fiscal year. The results which will be watched closely by analysts, bloggers and wall street are expected around 4.30PM EST (9.30PM GMT) with a conference call being held at 5PM EST (10PM GMT).
As is always the case before Apple's fiscal results, analysts have been making their predictions for what Apple will announce.
During the last quarter of 2009 results Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer said, "Looking ahead to the first fiscal quarter of 2010, we expect revenue in the range of about $11.3 billion to $11.6 billion and we expect diluted earnings per share in the range of about $1.70 to $1.78."
The street consensus polled by Thomson Financial Network is for Apple to report earnings of $2.07 a share on revenue of $12.05 billion. The street also expects Apple to sell 8.96 million Macs, 20.67 million iPods and 3.09 million Macs.
