Apple Inc. Reporting Earnings on Tuesday After the Market Close

The official forecast is for the company to announce EPS equal to $ 2.37, which would be less than the earnings for the same quarter of last year - $ 2.73. Furthermore, the previous earnings for Q4 were & 4.18.

This expected drop in Apple’s earnings derives from the forecasted weaker sales because of some iPhone models, which are banned from the market due to an ongoing patent infringement investigation. According to the International Trade Commission, the production of some of the newer iPhone models has breached international patent agreements (you can read more about it here). Conforming to Judge McNamara of the ITC, Apple has violated patents of rivals Qualcomm Inc. which are also reporting earnings this week.
