Apple's Q3 2004 Results Webcast

Apple will be broadcasting their Q3 2004 financial results at 2:00pm PT/5:00pmET on Wednesday, July 14, 2004.



The quarterly broadcast often includes interesting insight during the Question and Answer session from Steve Jobs and other Apple executives.

It will be very interesting to hear the investors' take on the recent iMac supply debacle. It will also be worth noting if the new revisions of the PowerMac G5 have resulted in improved demand. I think I remember from the last investor conference call that PowerMac G5 revenues had been 'flattish', or not quite as good as was hoped for.

Yessiree, I think the iMac supply debacle andd the continuing G5 err Supply debacle could feature heavily. Although I am interested to see how much of a tickle the G5 revenues felt after the recent dual 2.5 release.

They webcast it to keep people happy who have large sums of money invested in the company. It makes perfect sense.

P.S. - It's 'their'.

Because keynote arent important for the investors. Watching Steve talk about the iPod and ITMS for 30mins wont give them any insight of the company future. Financial repports on the other hand are a key tool in an investor technique to evaluate a company. Steve may have a huge ego but he is still at the mercy of the investor.

Does it make anyone else nervous that Apple is increasingly seen as a music company in its investors' eyes? In that light, the best thing Apple has going for it right now is a dominant share in the online music market. If they lose that dominance investors who fail to see that Apple is also a profitable computer manufacturer could cause a lot of trouble. Panics aren't usually well thought out, but they always end in a mess.

So does this leave Apple trying to become the next Sony? Quickly becoming a consumer electronics maker with a vanity line of very capable but very expensive computers? I think the days of associating Apple primarily with Macs are over for good. I don't know if this is a bad thing or not, but I hope I can still buy a Mac in 5 years.

Anyone else notice Apple stock is on the rise after a week of decline? It has to be related. Anyway, is this just audio, or are they going all out with a video stream? Either way, i'm in.

I think there is some law about their results being publicly avaliable. They mention it at the beginning of the wecast. It is audio only and requires much less bandwidth than a very popular keynote webcast.

I think Reg FD (Regulation Fair Disclosure) forces publicly traded companies to announce events like earnings reports at the same time to everyone so that no one has an advantage in knowing information before others.

I will miss out on hearing the live webcast. Will probably still be at MacWorld Boston, Where Steve should have visited. It's the customers that make Apple.

I will look forward to hearing the highlights here tomorrow evening.
