Apple has missed Wall Street estimates, seeing its largest quarterly revenue decline since 2016 in the new Q4 2022 earnings report.
The company missed sales, profit, and revenue expectations.
- Apple CEO Tim Cook said Apple's Q4 performance was hindered by three main factors:
- The rise of the U.S. dollar's value,
- iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max production issues in China
- and the macroeconomic environment.
- Apple's adjusted earnings per share were $1.88 versus the $1.94 estimates.
- Its overall revenue was $117.15B, a relatively large miss compared to the $121B estimates.
- Apple's sales dropped by 5% compared to 2021, the largest YoY drop since 2019.
- The
California-based company stated that its overall number of active
devices now stands at 2 billion globally, up from 1.8 billion in 2021.
- The company's share price dropped by 4% in extended trading after the earnings report was published.
