Apple Q4 2018 Earnings Infographics
The iPhone maker expects revenue of about $84 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and gross margin of about 38%. Operating expenses are anticipated to be about $8.7 billion and other income is predicted to be about $550 million.
The tech giant’s results have been impacted by different timing of iPhone launches, foreign exchange headwinds, supply constraints, and economic weakness in certain emerging markets. In spite of these challenges, the performance could show remarkable strength in many areas such as active devices and non-iPhone businesses. The company will exit the quarter with about $130 billion in net cash.
This will also be the first quarter when Apple won’t be giving out its unit sales figures.
