Apple reports better-than-expected second-fiscal quarter earnings driven by stronger iPhone sales, despite overall sales falling for the second consecutive quarter.
Why is this important? Key Points:
Apple’s Q2 earnings beat Wall Street expectations with $1.52 EPS compared to the expected $1.43, and revenue of $94.84 billion against the expected $92.96 billion. iPhone revenue reached $51.33 billion, surpassing the expected $48.84 billion, and indicating that previous supply chain issues have been resolved.
Despite the strong iPhone sales, Apple’s overall sales declined for the second consecutive quarter, with Mac revenue at $7.17 billion (below the expected $7.80 billion) and iPad revenue at $6.67 billion (slightly below the expected $6.69 billion). Apple CFO Luca Maestri expects a further 3% decline in overall revenue for the current quarter.
Apple’s Services business, including monthly subscriptions, App Store revenue, and search-licensing revenue from companies like Google, reported $20.9 billion in revenue, a 5.5% YoY increase. The wearables division, including Apple Watch and AirPods, saw a 1% increase during the quarter.
