After every Apple results call, I look forward to stepping through Jason Snell’s charts. They make the results much easier to understand.
Start with the revenue-by-category pie chart to get a sense of where the money comes from, then take a look at the year-over-year charts to get a sense of how each segment is doing compared the the same period a year ago.
Jason’s post also contains insights on the comments made on the call as well. If you care about Apple’s business side, this is a good read.
I agree, his post is the best one I’ve seen yet on yesterday’s results.
I’m surprised and delighted that the iPhone 8 has done and is doing as well as it has (I bought one and love it). No doubt the holiday quarter will be Apple’s best yet with the X added in. Wish I had more shares of AAPL…
And for those that care:
Apple Quarterly Net Profit: $10.7 bn
Apple Cash on Hand: $256.8 bn
Apple’s market cap reached $900 bn in after-hours trading.
Unreal.
The net cash figure (what I would think of as “cash”) is a little over half that. @asymco tracks this and just updated his chart.
Ah, got my stats from another article. Link maybe?
It’s by no means wrong, just that Apple has taken on debt to distribute cash to shareholders in the US, so the cash is partly offset by debt. I think this will link to Dediu’s tweet:
