Apple's Q4 earnings estimates looking good

Just a reminder: Apple will hold their fourth quarter financial conference call tomorrow, October 21st at 2PM Pacific time. We'll be live blogging the call, so be sure to check back for our up-to-the-minute report and analysis.

What should we expect? According to estimates from research firm NPD, it's good news, especially regarding Mac sales. Piper Jaffray analysts suggest, after examining the NPD data, that Mac sales grew by 25% - 29% in the fourth quarter. That's 25% yearly growth and represents nearly 2.8 million Macs.

It has also been suggested that iPod sales numbers will be slightly better than Wall Street projections. We'll know soon enough.

Apple beats Q2 estimates

Yesterday was Apple's Q2 financial conference call, and it's safe to say things went well. Apple generated $410 million (47 cents per share) in the 2nd quarter of 2006, up from $290 million (34 cents a share) as this time last year. Wall Street's projection was 43 cents per share. iPod sales continued to do well, and Mac sales rose 4%. I'm really interested to see the same numbers a year from now, once the full line of Macs are Intel-based and Leopard has been released.
