    The projection for Q2 is a "miss." Actually, EPS was slightly above consensus. Revenue was slightly below consensus, and iPhone and iPad sales were in line. Mac sales were a miss, but they are relatively small.

    This is depressing. I really hope they plan to buy back shares, split the stock, or something to boost the stock!

    It's a record quarter. 


     


    It's interesting to see that iPad sales are approaching iPhone-level numbers from a couple of years ago.

    2 things being looked at:


     


    1. Q2 projection is below analysts projections


     


    2. Margins have dipped considerably

    Won't lose that much, but Mac sales down 20% and margins down to 38% from 44%.  Their revenue went up a ton, but they only had as much in profit as Q4 last year.  A great quarter to be sure, but Street is so used to Apple beating estimates that it really hurts them when they don't now.

    who cares, since revenue and profit is going up? Do you at least know what you are talking about? Then we have this P/E... It's hillarious.

    I'm very satisfied with 38.6% margins.  I'm probably most curious about iPhone number being a little low...why?  Everything else seemed predictable.

    22 million iPads? As Quadra just said those sales are skyrocketing. All things considered it's a great, great quarter but apparently that isn't enough.


     


    After hours the stock is down almost 5%. It'll probably regain a little but that is a lot of red right now.
