Inside AAPL’s Earnings

Earnings

Apple reported earnings of $18 billion, or $3.06, up 38% from last year. Analysts expected to see EPS of $2.60.

Revenue
Revenue came in at $74.6 billion, above analysts’ view of $67.69 billion

Largest Quarterly Profit of All Time

Apple reported the largest quarterly corporate profit of all time on Tuesday, which was primarily due to impressive iPhone sales. The company also saw surprising sales in China, which helped boost investor confidence. Going forward, investors will be watching Apple as it unveils the iWatch.
