Apple’s stock closed at $171.52 on Friday and is up nearly 32 per cent since June.
Despite the global macro-economic environment, Apple saw a record June quarter with 2 per cent (year-over-year) revenue increase at $83 billion, riding on a 12 percent sales increase in services.
iPhone revenue was up from $39.5 billion to $40.7 billion in the April-June period, a 3 percent increase from the same time last year.
“Our June quarter results continued to demonstrate our ability to manage our business effectively despite the challenging operating environment,” said Maestri.
“We set a June quarter revenue record and our installed base of active devices reached an all-time high in every geographic segment and product category,” he had said.
During the quarter, Apple generated nearly $23 billion in operating cash flow, and returned over $28 billion to its shareholders.
