Owners get to share in profits. Buy the stock if you want to o own some of the earnings.why should they get share? they are getting salaries.
common folk who owns stocks gets paid..because they are investors.
i think you quoted wrong guy..Owners get to share in profits. Buy the stock if you want to o own some of the earnings.
No, was just agreeing with you. I’m going to stop quoting people to correct them, because people here literally refuse to learn even when you show them.i think you quoted wrong guy..![]()
Bad, although a lot of that was from Samsung's other businesses. But no doubt the entire smartphone market is in a secular decline, and even with Apple's iPhone unit volume dropping they're still making the right decision keeping ASP's higher than everyone else IMO.
The revenue figure was Apple's highest ever for the June quarter, just beating out the year-ago quarter, although profits dipped on lower margins.
woof. chinese companies are eating samsungs breakfast, lunch and dinner.So Samsung’s earnings were just announced and profit was down 56%.
The March quarter this year it was down 60%.
And people are thinking Apple is somehow doing bad?
Brand value? What made you think he was talking about that?Forbes lists Apple as the world’s most valuable brand at $206 billion. Huawei is number 97 at $108.9 billion.

Basically Samsung's numbers just normalized after multiple quarters of record profit increases.
Compare this to 23% revenue increase for Huawei and it becomes clear who has the momentum.

And the services is mostly app store fees and subscriptions and Apple Care. That's not going to explode any time soon (especially taking into account slowing iPhone sales)
apple stays winning...
i predict the iphone sales will decrease again next year since the 2019 rumors aren't very compelling.
2020 might see a jump back up.
Oh yeah, I forgot excuses can be used only in favor of Apple. Kind of like you did here with this attempt to divert the discussion towards Samsung.Doesn't matter what the cause was - they are down drastically.
If that's "normalized" then Samsung is in for a rough few years.
Market disagrees.The revenue is barely a miserly 1% higher and profits are 14% lower compared to a year earlier.
So a stagnation in terms of revenue and an obvious decline in terms of profits.
It's not such a great quarter.
Samsung just reported a pretty poor quarter and your all important profit was down 56%.Oh yeah, I forgot excuses can be used only in favor of Apple. Kind of like you did here with this attempt to divert the discussion towards Samsung.
Samsung is more than fine. Their product portfolio is very diversified. For example in the next months their silicon manufacturing business should pick up speed with the manufacturing of chips for Nvidia's next gen GPUs and Qualcomm's next flagship SOC.
Here's the thing though, almost 75% of their business is based on one product line and it's supporting services. Remember Blackberry and Nokia.
Samsung’s numbers are for everything not just their smartphones, tablets and wearables. Also the parts they sell to other companies like chips and displays. I suspect the revenue for their consumer products alone wouldn’t be down as much.woof. chinese companies are eating samsungs breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I think Huawei also announced a 24% increase in revenues same quarter. Samsung better watch out, they're coming for the #1 volume company before long
It doesn’t matter where Apple make up the money. It just shows diversity in their product line up and the ability to still do well even when the iPhone isn’t doing as well as it has in the past.Market disagrees.
Apple is transitioning and pivoting before your eyes.
Net income can be manipulated simply by cutting something like R&D. Higher sales matter far more and gross margins were nearly identical y/y.

Samsung mobile’s operating profit was down 42%.
If Samsung is more than fine, Apple is firing on all cylinders.
Apple practically is firing on all cylinders, besides the transition in iPhone.
I think the increases revenue was actually from other products as the revenue for the iPhone was down year over year. Revenue for all other product categories was up.Sales down, revenue up... maybe just maybe, they're ripping everyone off with the price of their phones? "Do you want to spend £1000 on a phone?".... "No".
Maybe you should run Apple?"We make the Mac Pro in the US..."
Are you nuts Tim? That was six years ago. The new one is made mostly in China. Come on, get with the program!
The results are rather strong. But one has to wonder how much better they could be if they didn't screwed up so much with the general strategy of the iPhone beginning with the X. Way too expensive.
It's crazy how something as unimportant as "Wearables + Accessories" or "Services" each make as much revenue as the Mac. You can get many of these services fro free from Google, and you can definitely live without iCloud or Apple Music, while the Mac is something that can earn you a living if that's what you do.
I do hope Apple's strategy for the Mac stops being "just double the price every 6 months" because that isn't going to work forever.
LoL Google owns some of the most popular and successful web services in the world, comparable only to Facebook.Google's service trackrecord is not that great, disbanding services like h*ll.... If you look into it, google becomes more a sheep running around not knowing what it should do
