On October 25, 2016, technology (QQQ) heavyweight Apple (AAPL) announced its fiscal 4Q16 results. It reported revenue of $46.9 billion and quarterly net income of $9 billion, with EPS (earnings per share) of $1.68.
In comparison, in fiscal 4Q15, Apple announced revenue of $51.5 billion and net income of $11.1 billion, with EPS of $1.97. Revenue fell 9% YoY (year-over-year), due to lower product sales and a 30% decline in sales in Greater China.
“Our strong September quarter results cap a very successful fiscal 2016 for Apple,” said Apple CEO Tim Cook. “We’re thrilled with the customer response to iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus and Apple Watch Series 2, as well as the incredible momentum of our Services business, where revenue grew 24 percent to set another all-time record.”
