Apple Beats Q3 Estimates with 16% Sales Jump in Cook's Final Report
AAPL sits 55% above its 52-week low of $201.5.
Summary
Apple delivered a strong Q3, with sales rising 16.4% to $109.4 billion, topping the $108.65 billion consensus. This is Tim Cook's last earnings report as CEO, adding a leadership transition layer to the beat. The results follow a volatile period: a 6% single-day drop in late June on China shipment fears, then a $30 billion Broadcom partnership and an AI-focused WWDC. The beat suggests iPhone demand held up better than feared, and the market will now focus on the incoming CEO's strategy and any forward guidance. With a $4.9 trillion market cap, even modest beats move the needle.
At the time of this announcement, AAPL was trading at $312.33 on NASDAQ in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $4.9T.
