No, the blog post title isn't wrong and RIM isn't from the future.... they just run their reporting periods different from the calendar year. And with that disclaimer stated, today RIM will announce their year end, Q4 earnings for fiscal 2011...
Waterloo, Canada - Research In Motion Limited (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM) will be reporting results for the fourth quarter and year-end of fiscal 2011 on March 24, 2011 after the close of the market. A conference call and live webcast will be held beginning at 5 pm ET, which can be accessed by dialing 1-800-814-4859 or by logging on at www.rim.com/investors/events/index.shtml. A replay of the conference call will also be available at approximately 7 pm by dialing 416-640-1917 and entering passcode 4310316#. This replay will be available until midnight ET April 7, 2011.
I'm really curious to see how this previous quarter finished up for RIM (strong growth in international markets and tougher times in the US make for an interesting dynamic), and am especially excited to listen to RIM's Co-CEO Jim Balsillie on the conference call today, where I'm *sure* he'll get pounded with questions regarding the upcoming BlackBerry PlayBook and the lack of new BlackBerry Smartphones we have seen so far in 2011.
RIM's stock is opening up today at $62.12/share... any thoughts on where it'll open up tomorrow morning? Up? Down?? No difference??? Be sure to share your perspective in the comments!
