Apple Earnings:
While the numbers were mixed, with revenue of almost $82 billion coming above expectations thanks to strong service revenue offsetting iPhone print and a miss on Products, Macs and wearables, what the market did not like (again) is that this was another quarter without revenue growth and the 4rd consecutive quarter of annual revenue declines: the first time for AAPL since 2001. Here are some key number from FY Q1 2024 Apple: • Revenue -1% Y/Y to $89.5B (in-line). Services +16% Y/Y to $22.3B. Products -5% Y/Y to $67.2B. • Operating margin 30% (+3pp Y/Y). • EPS $1.46 ($0.07 beat). • Returned $93B to shareholders in FY23 ($78B in buybacks and $15B in dividends).
