Apple Reports Q4 2013 Year-End Results: $7.5 Billion Profit on $37.5 Billion in Revenue [Call Concluded]

[padestef]

i think the stock is down beacause profits are down ~9%, while Samsung and Microsoft saw ~20% and ~17% increments in profits

Hope somebody asks Cook for a Mini Retina release date! Shareholders should be able to know as it could potentially influence holiday sales numbers. And I want to know as I'm likely picking up two.

 

[KPOM]

This in line with analyst expectations, so that can't be it.

I'm guessing it is their guidance for Q1

 

[usarioclave]

4% of Apple's revenue is "Other". Is that $1.5 billion dollars of Apple TVs?

 

[osx11]

It's amazing that iPod's only contribute 2% to net sales.

Nobody would have seen that coming 10 years ago.

WOW!

 

[tbrand7]

Wow!

 

[mdcosta911]

Let me give you the investor's perspective: not enough!

Unfortunately this is true. Never satisfied. It's a shame AAPL is down 3% in aftermarket hours right now. I'm not a pro at this, but their guidance for 1Q2014 even looks amazing..

 

[Prof.]

RIP iPods.

 

[WestonHarvey1]

Why are iPod sales so low nowadays.

Because everything they sell has an integrated iPod. Smaller market now for dedicated music players. They still sell well considering.

 

[Z3man]

Figures for this next quarter coming are going to be massive, the new iPad air and mini retina are going to sell like crazy, so is the 5S once they start producing more and you can actually buy one.

 

[ValSalva]

150 million iPhones sold in the last year. Microsoft CEO ousted.

Not what Balmer would have expected six years ago.

 

[macaddict06]

but who am i to expect the market to act reasonably? :d

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[RDeckard]

And the stock is DOWN after hours.

If Google put up these kind of numbers, it would be up 35%. Crazy in Wall Street Land.

If Amazon put up these kind of numbers, it would be up 3,500% and all of the *anal*ysts would be having seizures from being so excited.

New records in sales but not enough recordsy1!!!

 

[phillipduran]

What kind of excuse will the hayters say now?

I bet they are inwardly squirming.



BTW, where does the iPod Touch fit in the graph?
iPod is tiny, seems too small a % to go there.

iPod catagory - 2%.

Please. There's no vendetta against Apple. Investors are worried about the company having too much cash, a decline in margins, and lack of diversification of product lines.

Amazon is not trying to show earnings yet.

 

[CEmajr]

It's like these guys just print money. Well deserved though. Their products are great.

Good traders sell on news, the stock comes down to a more reasonable price thus trouncing traders that are not smart enough to read the market. Stochastics will tell you a lot about how a stock is going to trade. FB will most likely be sold into earnings as well (we will see of course).

They were told last quarter margins would be lower. So I fail to see the rationale behind the price drop.

 

[osx11]

wow iPhone is 50%+ of Apple profit.

50+% of revenue, not quite the same thing.

 

[Popeye206]

Great quarter so stock is down... WSJ is saying investors aren't happy the Q1 guidance is at the low end of their expectations.... no pleasing wall street.... Apple just keeps doing well and they just keep dragging the stock down. Silly.

 

[daneoni]

Why are iPod sales so low nowadays.

Because of the advent of iOS devices.

 

[2457282]

OMG! They sold a gabjillion iThings and made 37% profit on each one. The company will go out of business next week. LOL

I remember where anything above 20% profit was considered gouging and now we send their stocks down because they fell below 40%. This seems like capitalism run amok.

 

[phillipduran]

When will people stop dooming Apple? Seriously. Old. Tired. Unoriginal. Pathetic!

Characteristic of our MacRumors culture. It's funny and one of the things that makes this community who it is. If Steve saw your comment he would not appr. . . . nevermind.

 

[LagunaSol]

Amazon is not trying to show earnings yet.

Which makes sense, seeing how they were just founded in...1994!!!
