4:39pm 10/11/05 Apple Computer reports $430 million fourth-quarter profit (AAPL) By Rex Crum SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Apple Computer (AAPL) on Tuesday reported a fourth-quarter profit of $430 million, or 50 cents a share. During the same period a year ago, Apple earned $106 million, or 13 cents a share, on $2.35 billion in revenue. Excluding a 12-cents-a-share tax benefit, the company earned 38 cents a share to beat estimates of analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call, who forecast a profit of 37 cents a share. However, Apple's revenue of $3.68 billion was shy of analysts' $3.74 billion consensus estimate, sending Apple shares down more than 8% in after-hours trading.
