Apple’s earnings top analysts’ forecasts, but year-over-year sales drop for third straight quarter

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 19:06:30 GMT

Apple’s eked out a slightly higher profit last quarter even though sales dipped during the period, a showing that may not be enough to sustain investor enthusiasm that recently made the iPhone maker the first publicly held U.S. company to be valued at $3 trillion.The results released Thursday covered April through June, the third consecutive quarter that the Cupertino, California, company has posted a year-over-year decline in revenue. That’s its longest stretch of falling sales in nearly seven years. Apple also indicated revenue for the current July through September quarter is expected to decline, despite the anticipated release of the next iPhone.
