Apple's Mixed Results Spark Debate ๐
As the earnings exam season rolls on, it's Apple's turn to reveal its report card. While not quite the head of the class this time, Cupertino's finest isn't exactly sitting in detention either.
It's a tale of slight declines and solid holds, with a few bright spots twinkling amidst a backdrop of challenging market conditions.
Hereโs all the digits you need to know for APPL:
Total Revenue: $89.5 Billion (-1%)
iPhone Revenue: $48.3 Billion (+3%)
Mac Revenue: $7.6 Billion (-34%)
Services Revenue: $22.3 Billion (+16%)
With the iPhone 15 stealing a bit of the limelight in its debut week, CEO Tim Cook remains optimistic about the device outperforming its predecessor.
Despite the Mac and iPad sales not hitting the high notes, the unveiling of new devices powered by Apple's latest M3 chips could see a rebound in the December quarter.
Services stood out as the star pupil, with Apple Music and iCloud, not to mention a lucrative deal with Google, pushing revenue up by over 16%.
It seems subscriptions and services are the new cool kids in Apple's campus, reaching an all-time high and fueling expectations of growth.
So, investors, it's your move. Will you back the ever-evolving services and steady iPhone sales, or does the overall hardware slowdown give you pause?
