Apple revenues: another record for this second quarter

Like every three months, Apple has just published its financial results. And the least we can say is that the period from April to June this year was particularly prolific for the brand. It has in fact recorded 81.4 billion dollars in sales, the equivalent of nearly 69 billion euros at the current exchange rate. This is quite simply the group's best performance for a second quarter, althoughless than in March.

Compared to 2020, these figures increased by 36%. Honorable mention for the services (Apple TV+, Apple Music, iCloud, Apple News+, Apple Fitness+, Apple Arcade) which for their part reached the staggering sum of 17.5 billion dollars (≈ 15 billion euros), again for the very first time. The first to be delighted are obviously the investors who earn virtually $1.3 per share, with dividends also at the top of the basket.

Smartphones, still kings of the Apple

With almost half of the revenues generated by Apple in the second quarter, iPhones once again assert their superiority over Macs (10%), tablets (9%) and connected objects (11%). The latter find themselves on the podium for the first time since January, to the detriment of the computers. Among the reasons for this progression, the Apple Watch Series 6 and its blood oximeter probably have something to do with it – at least more than the AirPods Max.

The price of AAPL on Wall Street has surprisingly not flinched since the announcement of these numbers, which we owe once again to Luca Maestri, CFO of Apple. We can bet that most of the whales therefore maintain their position, also reinforced bythe reopening of the Californian company's physical stores in most countries.

Indeed, income growth by region clearly shows that the Americas have only just caught up with the Old Continent. From there to seeing a loss of speed linked to the slowdown of the French economy following health restrictions, there is only one step...

As for China, it is still the fastest growing market.
