Apple Drops After Mixed Results: America, Europe Revenue Miss; Iphone Sales Disappoint, But China Surges Again

As we previewed earlier, focus today will be on how soaring memory prices are impacting the company's profit margin, as well as hearing from new CEO John Ternus.

EPS $2.01 vs. $1.65 y/y, beating estimates of $1.96
Revenue $111.18 billion, +17% y/y, beating estimates of $109.66 billion

Meta Needs to Stop Spending As If It′s A Cloud Giant: Lee (Bloomberg)
|
|
|
Dave Lee from Bloomberg Opinion critiques Meta's positioning as a cloud business, highlighting that unlike true hyperscalers such as Amazon and Google, Meta does not demonstrate healthy growth in cloud sales driven by AI.

Lee emphasizes that Meta's cloud investments do not translate into the same growth metrics seen in established cloud providers, suggesting the company should reconsider its spending approach in this area.
