Microsoft reports 4th quarter earnings on July 21

Microsoft plans to report fourth quarter earnings on July 21. The company will also release year-end results for fiscal year 2011.

The results will be reported after the stock market closes on July 21. Microsoft will hold a conference call for analysts at 2:30 p.m.

Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer gave some of the 2011 fiscal results at a Rotary Club luncheon in Seattle on June 29.

"There's a reason why we'll do almost $70 billion in revenue this year and we'll make over $20, whatever, $26, $27 billion in profits," Ballmer said at the Westin Hotel.

Microsoft said after the speech that Ballmer had been referring to $26 billion to $27 billion of operating profit, not net income.

Analysts are expecting an operating profit of $27.2 billion and for Microsoft to bring in $69.8 billion sales for fiscal 2011.
