Saxat ur nyhetsflödet sedan Apple redovisat ett rekordresultat för det första kvartalet 2017.
Apple Inc (AAPL.O) reported a bigger-than-expected rise in iPhone sales for the holiday quarter but forecast current-quarter revenue below estimates as customers hold back on phone upgrades in anticipation of the launch of the 10th-anniversary iPhone.
Apple sold 78.29 million iPhones in the first quarter ended Dec. 31, up from 74.78 million last year, marking the first quarterly growth in iPhone sales in a year.
Analysts on average had estimated iPhone sales of 77.42 million, according to research firm FactSet StreetAccount.
The results, whoch reflected the first full quarter of iPhone 7 sales, come at a time when global demand for smartphones is slowing and cheaper Android alternatives are flooding the market.
Hey, look: iPhone sales are up again.
Apple sold roughly 78.3 million iPhones, 13.1 million iPads, and 5.4 million Macs in its first quarter of 2017 thats up from the 74.5 million iPhones it sold in Q1 2016, but down on iPads and Macs. The company sold 21.4 million iPads and 5.5 million Macs in Q1 2016 last year.
Nearly 10 years since the first iPhones release, way back in 2007, investors are waiting for something big from Apple, as my colleague Chris OBrien pointed out earlier today. But for now overeager investors must settle for the iPhone 7, whoch managed to best analyst expectations by about 1.3 million iPhones.
Apple today announced financial results for the first fiscal quarter of 2017, whoch corresponds to the fourth calendar quarter of 2016. For the quarter, Apple posted revenue of $78.4 billion and net quarterly profit of $17.9 billion, or $3.36 per diluted share, compared to revenue of $75.9 billion and net quarterly profit of $18.4 billion, or $3.28 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Both revenue and earnings per share were company records in what is traditionally Apple’s strongest quarter due to the launch of new iPhone models.
Apple finally returned to growth today in its first earnings report of 2017 that saw the company sell more iPhone units than ever before.
With total revenues of $78.4 billion brining in a profit of $17.9 billion, Apple CEO Tim Cook said he is thrilled with the results. Wall Street is happy too. AAPL shares are trading up significantly in after-hours trading.
