๐ŸŽ #Apple releases results after markets close today

โ˜Ž๏ธ A conference call is scheduled for 1400 PT (1700 ET)

Here is a ๐Ÿงต of what to expect from the world's most valuable publicly-listed company...
It was a tough quarter thanks to Covid-19 disruption in #China and softening demand

As a result, markets expect sales to drop for the 1st time in 3 years

That will be driven by lower #iPhone and #Mac sales ๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
๐Ÿ›๏ธ That will mean it won't deliver growth over the Golden Quarter - the busiest period covering the holiday shopping season.

This raises the question of how many of these sales will be pushed into 2023 or lost entirely
๐Ÿ“ฑ Apple has already said it will sell 3 million fewer #iPhones than originally thought this year.

Lower-end models are not appealing to customers, while high-end ones are in demand but have suffered from supply disruption
๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ There is potential for surprise in China

Research suggests Apple was the biggest phone seller in Q4, and it was the 2nd largest seller on an annualised basis for the 1st time ever

That suggests, at the very least, it has proven more resilient than rivals and gained ground
๐Ÿ”‘ The key is to show supply problems are behind it, and that demand is holding up

Largest iPhone factory is now back to normal following severe disruption in December, and more production is being shifted out to other countries like #India

China's reopening also bodes well
#Earnings will fall thanks to rising costs

๐Ÿ‘ But, Apple should be applauded. All its #BigTech rivals went on an over-zealous hiring spree and let costs spiral over the past 3 years, but it has proven far more disciplined

Plus, it continues to wield #buybacks to support EPS
Quick look at the $AAPL chart before the results

๐Ÿ”” Up 2% before the bell

๐Ÿ“ˆ At 3-week high

๐ŸฅŠHas taken out 200-day moving average for 1st time in 5 months

๐Ÿ”บ Volumes set to rise for 4th consecutive day

๐Ÿ” Brokers see 17% upside from current levels Image
๐Ÿ‘ That's it - you're all up to date and ready for the results.

๐Ÿ“ฆ #Amazon releases results after markets close today

โ˜Ž๏ธ A conference call is scheduled at 1430 PT (1730 ET)

Here is a ๐Ÿงต on what to expect from the #earnings...
๐ŸŒ Virtually all of Amazon's businesses are suffering a slowdown, from ecommerce to cloud computing

This is set to see it deliver its slowest sales growth on record for any Q4 - an important quarter covering the busy holiday shopping season. Image
#Ecommerce sales are falling as the explosion in demand seen during the pandemic continues to unwind.

However, they remain considerably higher than back in 2019 Image

๐Ÿ”Ž #Alphabet, the owner of #Google, releases results after markets close today.

โ˜Ž๏ธ A conference call with management is scheduled for 1330 PT (1630 ET).

Here is a ๐Ÿงต on what to expect from the #earnings today...
๐ŸŒ There has been a pullback in spending by advertisers and this is expected to see the company deliver its slowest revenue growth on record.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ While not immune, its monopoly over Search has helped it prove more resilient than its social media rivals like #Meta
โ˜๏ธ Google Cloud is forecast to see sales rise 30%, but that would be the 7th consecutive quarter of slower growth.

Plus, unlike rivals #Amazon and #Microsoft, Google Cloud is in the red and not set to deliver a profit for several years.

๐Ÿ“ธ #Snap releases Q4 #earnings after US markets close today.

A conference call is scheduled at 1430 PT (1730 ET).

Here is a ๐Ÿงต on what to expect...
๐Ÿฆ #Snap was the canary in the coal mine last earnings season, when growth stalled to its slowest pace on record.

๐Ÿ‘๏ธ That was followed by disappointing results from fellow #advertising stocks like #Meta and #Alphabet - with both #stocks due to report later this week.
๐ŸŒ The slowdown will continue this quarter, with revenue set to grow just 0.5% - marking the slowest pace since Snap went public back in 2017. Image
