"Apple"- record sales, but earnings disappoint



Disappoints "Apple". The company closed the first quarter of 2013 fiscal activity record figure of 47.8 million iPhones sold and profits to 54.5 billion dollars. These figures are not enough to ensure that the market has punished the company founded by Steve Jobs.
The company has suffered losses in the stock market, with its quotas on Wall Street have fallen by 11 per cent to $ 458 million. Some analysts predict that the decline will continue, with the value of "Apple" can come down to $ 425 per share in the third quarter. Net income "Apple" have resulted in $ 13.1 billion, which is almost unchanged compared to the same period last year. Even with 18 percent earnings growth is not enough to dispel the concerns of analysts on the company's growth prospects.

It is these concerns that have severely penalized value electronics giant, which has lost 27 percent, about $ 190 billion since September. Analysts were convinced that the profits go to $ 55 billion, with a profit of 13.44 USD per share.

Gross margin accounted for about 38 per cent against 44 per cent last year, which is consistent with the predictions of experts. As for the second quarter of the fiscal year, the "Apple" estimates earnings of 41 to 43 billion dollars and a margin of 37 to 38 percent.
