apple A quarter -quarter profit reports after the bell.
The quarter -month of December is the largest year in Apple, and this is partly attributed to the holiday shopping season and also because it is the first full quarter of the new iPhone sales.
Although analysts are not concerned about the company's performance in the quarter -month of December, many of them will search for what Apple refers to on how to shake the quarter of March.
The supply chain data points indicate that Apple sales in China are weakening, and Apple Intelligence, a group of company's AI features, is not available in Chinese.
“Specifically, the demand for iPhone 16 is not amplified by introducing iOS 18 and his Gen AI feature , Reduces the Apple for a contract. “We are again looking for iPhone units to a fourth year in a row.”
Apple does not publish their units sales, and do not give traditional guidance. The new financial managers are likely to give Kivan Barric, who took over the role earlier this month, investors some data points in a call on Thursday that analysts can use to estimate profits per share and revenue for Apple's quarterly.
LSEG estimates that Apple revenue will grow on an annual basis by about 3.8 % to 124.13 billion dollars. Apple said in October that it expects sales to grow “low to the middle of the number” during this quarter.
One of the biggest things that analysts watch is whether China sales in Apple indicate that consumers in the country convert their preferences into locally designed devices.
“We believe a major driver for the increasing competition in the smart phone market is due to the increasing preference for local brands inside China,” said Goldman Sachs analyst, Michael Ng in a memorandum on January 23.
Apple's bright points can be its own service business, which includes products ranging from device guarantees to Apple TV+ PRAMING. Barclays analysts said in a note earlier this month These services can grow by up to 14 % on an annual basis, which can compensate for low iPhone sales.
Apple is expected to be interrogated about its plan Trump's proposed tariff and Artificial Intelligence Strategy in general.
Here's what can be expected from Apple in the quarter of December, according to estimates of LSEG consensus:
- Arrow profits: $ 2.35
- profit: 124.13 billion dollars
Analysts expect instructions for the first quarter of March $ 1.66 on profits per share for $ 95.46 billion of revenue.
