The Impact of Weaker Consumer Spending on Apple’s Earnings

The Impact of Weaker Consumer Spending on Apple's Earnings

Apple’s Q2 FY’23 results are expected to show a contraction in sales due to weakened demand for computing devices and challenges in the digital services business. The company’s revenue for the quarter is estimated to be about $93 billion, a 4% decrease compared to the previous year. While the availability of flagship iPhone Pro devices could offset a decline in iPhone sales, other computing devices are expected to see a slump, with Mac sales predicted to decline by close to 40.5% in Q1 2023. Apple’s services business is also expected to experience a decline in sales, with revenue growth projected to remain slow. Analysts believe that Apple stock is overvalued at current levels and value the company at about $160 per share. Investors will be closely watching the company’s results to see how it will address these challenges and regain its growth trajectory.
