Saptamana aceasta compania Apple va prezenta rezultatele financiare pentru Q2 2013 si o serie de analisti chestionati de catre Bloomberg sustin ca profitul companiei Apple ar urma sa inregistreze prima scadere din 2003 incoace. In ciuda faptului ca incasarile ar urma sa creasca, profitul ar urma sa inregistreze o scadere fata de aceeasi perioada a anului trecut, aceasta urmand a fi prima oara in ultimul deceniu cand are loc un asemenea fenomen. Nu e greu de crezut ca acest scenariu s-ar putea intampla, insa in aceeasi masura am putea asista la rezultate mult mai bune decat asteptarile analistilor.
Fourteen analysts have reduced their estimates for Apple in the past four weeks, as shares in the world’s most valuable technology company continue their slide from a September record high. Competition from Samsung Electronics Co. (005930) is also weighing on the stock, and pressure is mounting for Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook to introduce hit products to reignite sales. An earnings report tomorrow may show that fiscal second- quarter net income declined 18 percent to $9.53 billion, or $10.02 a share, according to analysts’ estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Revenue is projected to show a rise of 8 percent to $42.4 billion, the slowest growth rate since 2009.
Din pacate Apple este intens criticata de catre analistii care au contribuit extrem de mult la scaderea pretului actiunilor Apple pe bursa americana, parerile si zvonurile lor afectand negativ compania din Cupertino. Daca ei au dreptate sau nu vom afla abia maine seara.
