Regardless of the market's reaction, based on stratospheric expectations, to this quarterly report, AAPL is going to $300+ eventually. A short-term pullback in the stock is certainly possible as a result of today's report and even because of general market sentiment, but the intermediate-term and long-term trend for AAPL is bullish and up.
