I do know that. I also know that the trades continue after hours and right now APPL is trading at $602.50 trending down.
And this is why pencil-neck, purely numbers guys shouldn't be analyzing AAPL. They fail to take into account the product cycles and the rumormill. They should visit the MacRumors Buyer's Guide more often.
What a disappointing results. Analysts expected 15M ipads but apple sold only 14M ipads.
not sure if you are joking or not, they missed one million iPad estimate. I think it is lot of revenue missed, am i missing something?
Very interesting observation. This money isn't going to shareholders in the form of higher dividend and is just too much to invest in other companies. I see a lot of 'Apple must make profit' remarks as if it is a struggling company. They could just consider lowering their margin. Make a lot more people happy. Not so, Apple has become an elitist brand where the punter is expected to always pay premium prices and like it. Stop your 'Apple bashing' remarks, we all see it is so. Apple isn't there for the fans, the fans are there for Apple. Me inclusive.
Exactly what I've been saying. Don't listen to analysts.
It's funny, I know quite a few people who are data analysts and each one says so many different things about the same subject. All these guys are purely numbers people and fail to take into account things like real-world trends and the human factor.
Somehow, their second best quarter ever for Mac sales brings you to that conclusion!?
Maybe he thinks only the MacPro qualifies as a "real" computer.
That's exactly what it means. Post-PC means that people will stop buying over-powered computers for doing menial tasks and instead opt to purchase smaller mobile devices.
There are a lot of people who do actually make use of all that power, but there are a massive more who do not and can get by without a full blown PC. I know a lot of people who do not currently own a computer and rely on their smartphones.
You don't have to listen to them, just so long as you know as the market as a whole, does.
It's ridiculous to see how much negativity some people try to create out of every topic Apple. These numbers are freaking insane!
Maybe he thinks only the MacPro qualifies as a "real" computer.
Haha.
Funny you say that because I'm taking a beginning computer class this semester (like I need it
) and one topic of discussion was what qualifies a device as a "computer". To cut a long story short, one does not need to have a Mac Pro to have a "real" computer.
Which if it happens would be a disaster, since it would represent a drop from the same quarter this year. Yeah, so, wow.
Analyst EPS estimate 8.75 actual 8.67 difference around 1%.
AAPL EPS guidance 7.65 actual 8.67 difference around 13%
Getting within 1% is not easy they were remarkably accurate this quarter, it bugs me that people say analysts are unreasonable when they were, have been and will probably continue to be a lot more accurate then AAPL. It also doesn't matter whether you listen to the analysts or not the market does.
I think it will slowly grind higher short term since it had quite a big correction, and it is far from expensive right now.
