Edible Apple

Apple earlier today updated its investor relations page, announcing that it’s Q4 2011 earnings will be released on Tuesday, October 18th with an earnings conference call scheduled for 5 PM Eastern Standard Time.

As is typically the case, Apple CEO Tim Cook and CFO Peter Oppenheimer will likely be present to answer analyst questions about Apple’s earnings report and its future business prospects.

Apple’s conference call webcast discussing Q4 – 2011 financial results will begin at 2:00pm PT/5:00pm ET on Tuesday, October 18, 2011.

Please note that comments made during this call may include forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from these forward-looking statements. For more information on the factors that could influence results, please refer to Apple’s SEC filings.

The conference call is always informative and often sheds light on the interesting minutiae of Apple’s financials that aren’t typically reported on.

During Apple’s last quarter, the company posted revenue of $28.57 billion and a profit of $7.31 billion, boosted largely by 20.34 million iPhone sales and 9.25 million iPad sales. During the Q4 of 2010, Apple recorded revenue of $20.34 billion amidst 14.1 million iPhone sales, 4.19 million iPad sales, and 3.89 million Macs.

If history is any indication, look for Apple to completely obliterate Wall St. estimates for the current quarter.

The conference call can be streamed over here come October 18th – note that Quicktime is required.
