Apple

Atualmente,a Apple é a segunda maior companhia aberta em termos de valor de mercado.Com capitalização de 349,38 bilhões de dólares.A Exxon Mobil é a primeira e tem valor de 411,97 bilhões. O Wall Street Journal deu destaque para alguns dados do resultado semestral da Apple:

Apple reported earnings of $7.31 billion, or $7.79 a share, blowing past consensus estimates of $5.85 a share. The company’s sales surged to $28.57 billion, topping expectations of $24.99 billion by a hefty few billion.

Curiously, the company offered a pretty tepid fiscal fourth-quarter outlook. It estimates earnings of $5.50 a share and revenue of $25 billion. That would be a sequential retreat, which might cause some head scratching among the Apple faithful.

Among the earnings highlights:

The company said it sold 20 million iPhones in the quarter.

Mac unit sales were 3.95 million.

The company now has $76 billion in cash.[1] That’s a nearly $10 billion surge in three months. No wonder they need a new headquarters.

iPods keep selling, with 7.54 million out-the-door in the quarter.
iPads? 9.25 million sold.
iPad sales grew 184%, iPhones sales grew 142%.

The company said it sold every iPad it could make.

The iPod has a 70% market share and is the top device in every country it is sold.

Apple’s shares are up 54% in the last year, more than double the gain of the S&P 500 over that same period.
