Apple to Announce 3Q 2012 Earnings on July 24

Apple today updated its investor relations page to note that it will announce its earnings for the third fiscal quarter (second calendar quarter) of 2012 on Tuesday, July 24. The earnings release typically occurs just after 4:30 PM Eastern Time following the close of regular stock trading, and the conference call is scheduled to follow at 5:00 PM Eastern / 2:00 PM Pacific.

MacRumors will provide running coverage of the earnings release and conference call.

The release should provide a look into the status of iPhone 4S sales after more than 8 months of availability -- and, perhaps most importantly, the strength of Apple's sales in China. Apple reported strong results three months ago and provided guidance for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 expecting revenue of $34 billion and earnings per diluted share of $8.68. If it meets that guidance, it will be the third consecutive quarter with total sales of more than $30 billion.

I predict that AAPL will either go up or down on this news, with a small chance that it will not go up or down.

Every time I see one of these articles I think to myself, why didn't I buy stock with Apple years ago?

So we will most likely get the date for OSX Mountain Lion announced then, like last year.

Meaning it will be within days after the call?

This. Combined with the retail vacation blackout scheduled for the same week, we're clear for takeoff!
