Can't Apple hold up? Performance exceeded expectations, but the stock price plummeted by 7%~ # Apple's third quarter performance exceeded expectations, after-hours stock price fell sharply Apple has taught the market a lesson this time. Following Hynix, it once again perfectly explained that good financial reports do not necessarily mean a rise in stock prices. - Third-quarter revenue of $109.4 billion, a year-on-year increase of 16%; Earnings per share were $2.02, higher than the market's expected $1.89. iPhone revenue grew by nearly 22 percent, Mac by 29 percent, services by 12 percent, and China by 22 percent. The data looks beautiful, but the $XAAPL has dropped from around $340 to $315, reaching a low of $306. What's the problem? Apple exceeded expectations this time, partly because of the "help" of tariff refunds. The company disclosed that tariff refunds contributed about 2 percentage points to gross profit margin and also increased earnings per share by $0.11. Excluding this part, Apple's actual earnings per share are about $1.91, only two cents higher than the market's expected $1.89. So this financial report did win, but not as much as the title seems. The market is more concerned about the next quarter. Apple expects revenue growth of 9% to 11% in the next quarter, a significant slowdown from the 16% growth rate in the current quarter. The stock price was close to $340 before the earnings report, and the market bought in advance for the iPhone recovery, AI upgrades, and service business growth. When it comes to the actual submission, "meeting expectations" is no longer enough, and expectations must conti Apple is also under great pressure in AI, with R&D expenses reaching $11.7 billion this quarter, a year-on-year increase of 32%, indicating that Apple is indeed spending money to catch up. However, the financial report does not yet see the independent revenue brought by AI. Can the new Siri AI drive users to switch phones and increase subscriptions? Some countries cannot use it, so it is still a story, not money on the account$SNDK
