Apple beats out earnings estimates with continued iPhone momentum
Apple posted strong results for its quarterly earnings on Thursday, but investors’ attention is also focused on the upcoming CEO change and the tech firm’s artificial intelligence strategy.
The January-March results announced Thursday reflect the continued momentum of iPhone sales. CEO Tim Cook said in a statement that it was the company’s best March quarter ever.
The company earned $29.58 billion, or $2.01 per share, in the January-March period, up about 22% from the same period a year earlier.
Revenue rose about 17% to $111.18 billion from $95.36 billion a year earlier. iPhone sales made up the bulk, bringing in $56.99 billion.
