Apple’s Q1 2012: Making a Killing

The market analysts estimated :

Revenues: $39 billion
Earnings: $10.08 per share
iPhone sales: 33 million
iPad sales: 13 million
Mac sales: 5.3 million

And Apple replied with:

Revenues: $46.3 Billion
Earnings: $13.87 per share
iPhones sold: 37.04 million
iPads sold: 15.43 million
Mac sold: 5.2 million
iPods sold: 15.4 million
Profits: $13.1 billion

Compare that to last quarter, when Apple did not beat the market estimates [but still presented a steller quarter]:

Revenues: $28.3 Billion
Earnings: $13.87 per share
iPhones sold: 17.07 million
iPads sold: 11.1 million
Mac sold: 4.89 million
iPods sold:6.62 million
Profits:  $6.62 billion

Putting it in perspective:

• At over $400 billion, Apple is now worth more than Greece [CNN]
• Equivalent to one Microsoft, two Googles and three Yahoos, together [GeekWire]

Apple’s NET last QUARTER was $3 billion more than all of Hollywood’s GROSS box office receipts last YEAR.
