Can Apple avoid a crack in its screen following Tuesday’s second quarter results?
Though Q1 revenue fell 5% year-on-year to $84.3 billion, that was ahead of the $83.97 billion forecasts by analysts. Earnings per share came in at a record $4.18, a smidge above the $4.17 expected; iPhone revenue, on the other hand, did miss estimates, if only just, at $51.98 billion.
As for the second quarter, Apple is expecting revenue to arrive between $55 billion and $59 billion, which at a mid-point of $57 billion would be a 6.7% reversal against the same time last year. Analysts, meanwhile, are expecting diluted earnings of around $2.40 per share.
Attention will be paid to the minutiae of the statement, of course, alongside its forecasts for Q3. iPhone revenue, which is 60% of the firm’s total, is potentially set to fall 10% year-on-year; the Services division, which is now the 2nd biggest business, is set to see revenue rise 16%, aided by the news that Apple Music recently overtook Spotify in terms of paid subscriptions in the US. Word on how much its TV streaming service will cost, or when it will launch – details omitted from March’s announcement – will also be welcome.

Bitcoin's yet another plunge this week strengthens its critics' call that it's the 'mother' of all bubbles as UK survey reveals Brits are circumspect of cryptocurrency investments.
I agree rimmer, Apple does move fast for a big company. I think it gets traded so heavily like you say short and long trades.
Apple has had a good run of late and its hard to find a good entry point at the moment.
I've owned my Apple shares since Tim Cook took over and sold none.
I don't know how much Berkshire and Warren Buffet intend to buy.
If he wants to take the holding up to 20% like some of the other big company holdings they have a long way to go.
Agree with fundamentals being low for such a large company, they also seem to have been making massive moves into the digital space rather than mainly concentrating on hardware. I like the company and the product but won't be going to deep as also has potential to plummet on bad news

I like Tim Cook,he talks sense.
Apple has grown in every department under Tim Cooks guidance,yes it’s hard to fill Steve Jobs shoes but I feel Tim has enough nouse to drive this puppy on.
Apple isn’t even on a eye watering valuation when you look at the earnings and cash.
The company is expanding in all areas,yes slowly in some but very happy with the progress,the Apple Watch is saving lives! Now who would have thought a wearables product could be this helpful,if they add diabetes support and other stuff it could be a must have item with certain conditions or ailments.
And the winner is
I see Berkshire Hathaway has been buying more Apple stock, I think it was another 70 billion or so on top of the 100 billion already bought.
Iii have a few people posting on Apple but nothing going on here. So I will start,Apple seems to be getting dragged down with Facebook ect ,what will Apple do with all that cash? Earnings seem to have peaked for a while unless they introduce some more decent hardware. I have held here since Tim cook took over,He's actually done a very good job here.
