Apple makes fresh all-time highs with the capitalization now at 1.62t after another hike in price target by analysts. Apple is taking advantage of the lockdown as more and more consumers staying at home and downloading apps.
Apple will release its third-quarter earnings, (April to June) on July 30. The company didn’t issue any guidance due to the coronavirus crisis uncertainty, but investors believe that revenue and earnings will take a significant hit. Revenues for the second fiscal quarter grow slightly, but it was before the coronavirus outbreak.
Apple Q3 Earnings Estimate
For the third quarter, the market expects 51.80 billion in revenues, but there is some forecast for revenues up to 55.84 billion, the previous year same quarter sales were at 53.81 billion.
The earnings expected at 2.02 per share, the higher estimate is for 2.47/share while the low estimate is for 1.55/share. The previous year same quarter earnings were at 2.18/share.
Investors will focus on this fall’s 5G iPhone launch, with low expectations but they want to see the full power of the new products during 2021 as the market would return to normal after the coronavirus crisis.
