As the time when the financial report of the listed company in US stock is being disclosed, many companies have recently announced their respective quarterly performance. According to previous arrangements, Apple , which is also a listed company, will release its fourth-quarter report after the US stock market on Thursday (October 27), local time in the United States. In addition to the fourth-quarter revenue and profit, the sales performance of the iPhone 14 series is also attracting much attention.
Apple
Before Apple's financial report, Wall Street analysts generally predicted that Apple's fourth-quarter revenue will increase by 26.4% year-on-year to to US$88.69 billion (approximately RMB 639.2 billion), and 's diluted earnings per share (EPS) increased by 1.9% to US$1.26. Morgan Stanley analyst Erik Woodring said he believes Apple's upcoming results will exceed expectations. He estimates that Apple's revenue in the fourth quarter will reach $90.1 billion, and iPhone shipments will reach 51.1 million units.
Jiasheng Group
Jiasheng Group estimates that the iPhone department and the apps and subscription service departments will drive Apple's fourth-quarter revenue growth. However, as demand for other hardware is expected to remain weak, sales in the fourth quarter are expected to slow for the fifth consecutive quarter. However, some analysts also said that the release of the iPhone 14 series may bring limited improvements to revenue in the fourth quarter. Since the iPhone 14 series will be launched on September 16 and the fourth quarter ends on September 30, it is unlikely that it will have too much impact in less than half a month.
iPhone 14 Pro
However, for the market, the sales performance of the iPhone 14 series still plays an important guiding role, especially the impact on Apple's first quarter of the next fiscal year is self-evident. Analysts say the new quarter covers the peak holiday shopping season, usually the quarter with the highest sales, and this period is also the peak of new iPhone shipments, so the sales data of the iPhone 14 series will also become a key indicator in the new fiscal year.
