Apple announces quarterly earnings
In Apple HQ, the phrase “credit crunch” is seldom heard. Why? Because again, Apple has had its best non-holiday quarter to date. Despite fewer iPods leaving the shelves, sales in Macintosh computers and iPhones were the highest yet for the Spring quarter, which saw revenue of $8.34 billion and a net profit for the quarter of $1.23 billion. As technology moves forward, it is clear that Apple intends to be leading.
Is Apple immune to the economic downturn?
This past Wednesday, Apple announced its financial results for its fiscal 2009 first quarter ended December 27, 2008, in which they reported the best quarterly revenue and earnings in Apple History. The company sold 2,524,000 Mac computers, a record 22,727,000 iPods, and 4,363,000 iPhones. This amounted to the record revenue of $10.17 billion and record net quarterly profit of $1.61 billion, or $1.78 per diluted share, all of which seems to counter news of Microsoft and Intel announcing layoffs amid a drop in profits, but does that really mean Apple is “recession proof?”
