Appleis CFO Peter Oppenheimer and COO Timothy Cook will announce the companyis results for the quarter that ended in March, which is Appleis second accounting quarter. While the duo is typically low key and close to the vest, often interesting tidbits can be picked up as analysts ask questions about Appleis operations and finances.

In recent days, analysts have been predicting that Apple would beat the guidance provided last quarter, but by how much is not known in detail. Often, when a company doesnit exceed expectations by as much as predicted or hoped, the stock will take a hit even if there was growth. Accordingly, some analysts have rolled back their expectations in recent days.
