Apple today announced financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2021, which corresponds to the third calendar quarter of the year.

For the quarter, Apple posted revenue of $83.4 billion and net quarterly profit of $20.6 billion, or $1.24 per diluted share, compared to revenue of $64.7 billion and net quarterly profit of $12.7 billion, or $0.73 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter.

Apple's revenue figure was a September quarter record and Mac and Services both set all-time records, but Apple's performance was only roughly in line with analyst expectations and was almost certainly held back by component shortages that have led to lengthy shipping estimates for many products.

Gross margin for the quarter was 42.2 percent, compared to 38.2 percent in the year-ago quarter. Apple also declared a quarterly dividend payment of $0.22 per share, payable on November 11 to shareholders of record as of November 8.

For the full fiscal year, Apple shattered company records with $365.8 billion in sales and $94.7 billion in net income, up from $274.5 billion in sales and $57.4 billion in net income for fiscal 2020.
“This year we launched our most powerful products ever, from M1-powered Macs to an iPhone 13 lineup that is setting a new standard for performance and empowering our customers to create and connect in new ways,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “We are infusing our values into everything we make — moving closer to our 2030 goal of being carbon neutral up and down our supply chain and across the lifecycle of our products, and ever advancing our mission to build a more equitable future.”

As has been the case for well over a year now, Apple is once again not issuing guidance for the current quarter ending in December.

That is some incredibly consistent growth, appearing entirely unaffected by any world events of the past decade. Like a flower blooming, growing steadily over time, subject to the natural seasonal tides and nothing else, seemingly in it's own centre of existence.

And the stock is down by quite a bit. Sounds like the old days, when great results were reported, the stock went downhill.

Apple did miss Wall Street's revenue expectations by about $1.5 billion, though they did hit the $1.24 Earnings Per Share estimate and saw YoY growth across the board, I believe.

Still, when you miss revenue (even if just barely) and (just) hit EPS, it means it is time to sell the stock when using Wall Street logic since you did not "crush it". :rolleyes:
 
Mac sales look stagnant from 1 year ago. about the same.

I guess all these M1 sales not making a dent or a difference.

Good god, who's buying all those iPods!?

Nevermind, I was looking at services. iPod sales are basically non-existent, as one would expect.

Considering pandemic and new product releases, I would bet on Apple resolving any supply chain issues with their stock soaring into the 2nd quarter 2022.
 
This quarter they had revenue of $83.4 billion and net quarterly profit of $20.6 billion

But in the year ago quarter they had revenue of $64.7 billion and net quarterly profit of $12.7 billion.

That's quite an uptick in just one year!

The stock always goes down when Apple's profits go up. I've never understood that, but the stocks always recover. I'm amazed at how quickly the services sector has grown. They're certainly doing a decent job of shrinking their reliance on the iPhone.
