I just got a note from MA informing me of the outcome of the Apple earnings call and, in the immortal words of our dear leader, Apple sold a shitload of stuff.
Apple’s Q2 2008 financial results were very strong and above expectations. The bottom line: they are selling a lot of stuff at very good margins.
Total revenue for the quarter was $7.51 billion; profit was $1.05 billion, or $1.16 per diluted share (up from $.87/share a year ago). Profit estimates were in the $1.10/share range. 2.3 million Macs, 10.6 million iPods, 1.7 million iPhones. The company now has nearly $20 billion in the bank and maintains 73% U.S. market share for music players. They expect to sell 10 million iPhones this year.
Whoa. Nelly.
