Apple sales top estimates on strong iPhone and services demand

Apple warned that supply constraints would cost the company US$4 billion to US$8 billion in the current quarter, sending the shares down and casting a pall on record-setting results that the company just reported.

Covid restrictions, which have swept China in recent weeks, will take a toll on the June quarter, the company said on a conference call Thursday (Apr 28).

Last quarter's sales and profit had topped analysts' estimates, fuelled by strong demand for the iPhone and digital services, and the company announced US$90 billion in new stock buybacks.

The outlook renewed concerns that new supply-chain woes will hamper the tech industry.

Apple Inc (AAPL): Earnings Announced on Thursday, April 28

Apple beat analyst estimates for its second quarter in fiscal year 2022 on both the top and bottom lines.

The tech giant reported earnings of $1.52 per share, beating analysts’ estimates for earnings of $1.43 per share by 6%.

Revenue came in at $97.28 billion. Analysts expected revenue of $93.89 billion, so the company posted a 6% beat on revenue.

For the same quarter a year ago, the company reported earnings of $1.40 per share on revenue of $89.58 billion, so earnings and revenue both increased year-over-year by 9%.

The company also increased its dividend to $0.23 per share, a 5% increase from its previous dividend of $0.22 per share.

Despite the strong earnings, the stock dipped 4% after hours on Thursday after CFO Luca Maestri and CEO Tim Cook warned of coming supply chain challenges and coronavirus impacts on sales that the company will likely face in the future. Keep in mind that the company makes most of its products from the Shanghai province, which is still under lockdown.

But Apple has always been about the third quarter. The company will release a new iPhone in September and it’s making its own very efficient chips. So, we’ll see what that looks like at the end of the year.

For the third quarter in fiscal year 2022, analysts expect earnings of $1.25 per share on revenue of $86.49 billion.

Apple Stock: Warren Buffett Has Been a Buyer. Should You Be, Too?

by BRET KENWELL

Berkshire bought roughly $600 million of Apple stock in the first quarter. That’s besides the investment group holding more than $150 billion of the stock.

Apple makes up roughly 40% of Berkshire's portfolio of public shares and the holding is more than double the size of its next largest holding, Bank of America (BAC).

For long-term buyers, that $138-to-low-$140s range up to $150 is the zone within which they may want to consider scooping up the stock.
