Who are you?.... And what have you done with Gatorguy?
You missed the " 40 million iPhones" figure. That's a lowly 8% rise over last year 's holiday quarter, and would almost certainly result in a loss of market share.
So Apple makes nearly $9 billion in revenue in a historically slow quarter, AND shows a 20% YoY growth, yet they still disappoint? Sounds about right. Apple is DOOMED!!!
Everybody's always picking on Apple. They are just jealous.
It only "disappoints" relative to overblown expectations. If you were simply following Apple's original guidance, they beat "expectations" handily… 20% growth year on year… almost $9 billion in earnings, a blowout by any measure. Any other company would be getting a fanfare and a 10% lift on their stock value...
Apple's guidance has boon so inaccurate that nobody really even takes it seriously. That is why the analysts estimates hold so much sway. If the stock were priced based upon Apple's guidance, it would be lower.
