The numbers on 4/23 won't have much of an impact as long as they meet guidance and next quarter's guidance comes in close to a year ago's numbers. The current quarter compare will be easier than the quarter just concluded for several reasons. The market understands this will be a 2nd half story and that Apple is an aggressive buyer at 500 +/- 10-20/share. There are more risks to the bears at this point in the calendar and that dynamic increases every day as the 2nd half approaches.

Their forward guidance will be somewhat of a repeat of what we saw last time whereby it will be rather weak and the market won't like that. Apple guiding to flat revenue in the March quarter should have set the tone for the same in June. Yet, I was surprised to see that analyst expectations are for 9% top line growth and 13% eps growth. I don't see that happening with the current product line. On the other hand, it would be odd for Apple could introduce a feature as telegraphic as iOs resolution independence at WWDC without also launching the new lineup at the same time. So maybe we get a new iPhone at the end of the quarter, in which case, all bets are off. Probably unlikely given the build rumors, but waiting until Sept just seems like suicide. finance.yahoo.com (Thanks to Moonray for the link earlier in the thread)
