Report expects Apple to have sold 2.8 mill macs

Apple will be reporting their quarterly earnings on Monday and many are expecting that they will exceed expectations yet again. In the past Apple’s best Mac sales figures had them at 2.6 million Macs sold during the September quarter last year. Analyst believe they will past that number however, reports from RBC Capital Markets thinks they will have a very strong fourth quarter which will then push the AAPL stock over $200 in the next 12 months. They also believe Apple will report sales numbers of around 2.8 million Macs and 7.5 million iPhones.

Recent estimates from NPD also have Mac sales increasing by 7 percent year-over-year within the first two months of the quarter, which is 5 perfect over the Wall Street census. They note that Apple has sold out of the iPhone 3GS worldwide, one example is that 3 Italia out of Italy is selling 20,000 iPhones a month, but could sell double that if they only had them in stock. Apple is expected to have earnings per share of about $1.37 with revenue of $9.1 billion. Not bad Apple, not bad at all.
