Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) released its third quarter financial results yesterday after the market closed and, despite more record breaking numbers, share prices took a nose dive in after hours trading, losing a bit over 7%. This was likely due to the numbers not quite reaching some of the lofty estimates offered by analysts over the last few weeks.

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) shares made gains on just about every day last week, opening Monday at $125.03 and reaching $129.62 (which was also the high for the week) by Friday's closing bell for a 3.7% gain on the week. Shares are at $131.83 as of this writing. The surge is no doubt due to a flurry of bullish reports from analysts in the days leading up to Apple's third quarter results call, which is tomorrow, Tuesday July 21 at 5:00 PM ET.
