Earnings Call Summary
Apple delivered its best-ever quarter with 143.8 billion dollars in revenue, up 16 percent. iPhone surged 23 percent to 85.3 billion dollars driven by strong customer demand for the iPhone 17 lineup and record upgraders in China and India. Services hit an all-time record of 30 billion dollars, up 14 percent, while the installed base reached 2.5 billion active devices. Management highlighted Apple Intelligence features resonating with users and expanded retail presence in India as growth drivers.
Guidance Apple expects March quarter revenue to grow 13 percent to 16 percent year over year, with services growing at a similar rate to December. Gross margin should land between 48 percent to 49 percent. The company faces iPhone supply constraints from advanced chip demand but remains confident in the business outlook.
