Apple Revenue Guidance Letter
  • "Letter from Tim Cook to Apple investors" ["We expect the number of shares used in computing diluted EPS to be approximately 4.77 billion. Based on these estimates, our revenue will be lower than our original guidance for the quarter, with other items remaining broadly in line with our guidance. [...] While it's disappointing to revise our guidance, our performance in many areas showed remarkable strength in spite of these challenges. Our installed base of active devices hit a new all-time high—growing by more than 100 million units in 12 months. There are more Apple devices being used than ever before, and it's a testament to the ongoing loyalty, satisfaction and engagement of our customers."]  Apple 3:41 PM
  • "Apple drops 7 percent after warning on Q1 results as iPhones and Apple Watch sales disappoint" ["'If you look at our results, our shortfall is over 100 percent from iPhone and it's primarily in greater China,' Cook told CNBC's Josh Lipton in an interview Wednesday. 'It's clear that the economy began to slow there in the second half and I believe the trade tensions between the United States and China put additional pressure on their economy.'"]  CNBC 4:07 PM

  • "Is Apple at Risk of Becoming the Next BlackBerry?" ["A massive shift in user preference toward flashier devices from Apple, as well as Google-powered Android phones, dealt BlackBerry a major blow. ... In short, BlackBerry thought that its loyal customer base would keep buying what it offered, so it didn't feel a pressing need to innovate. That proved to be its undoing, and in an ironic twist, Apple now seems to be going down the same path."]  The Motley Fool 7:57 AM
