Apple Inc. is already the envy of the technology world. On Wednesday, it
rubbed it in with quarterly results that had only one blemish: It couldn't
make the new iPads fast enough.
"We sold every iPad 2 we could make," Chief Financial Officer Peter
Oppenheimer said.
Apple sold 4.7 million iPads of both kinds in its latest quarter, below
analyst expectations and the holiday quarter's sales. It launched the second
version of the tablet computer two weeks before the end of the period.
Prospective buyers likely held off for the new model, which then turned out
to be tough to find.
Apple said net income for its fiscal second quarter, which ended March 26,
was $5.99 billion, or $6.40 per share. That's up 95 percent from $3.07
billion, or $3.33 per share, a year ago.
Analysts polled by FactSet were expecting earnings of $5.37 per share.
Revenue was $24.7 billion, up 83 percent from $13.5 billion a year ago.
Analysts were expecting $23.4 billion.
The results were lifted by the record sale of 18.65 million iPhones,
millions more than analysts had expected. Verizon Wireless started selling
the phone in the quarter, ending AT&T Inc.'s three-and-half-year period of
being the only U.S. iPhone carrier. In most of the 90 other countries where
the iPhone is available, it is sold by more than one phone company. |
