《美股業績》蘋果上季純利倍升勝預期 警告晶片短缺拖累今季收入
蘋果公司(AAPL.US)公布截至今年3月27日止2021財年第二財季業績,期內盈利上升1.1倍至236.3億美元,每股攤薄盈利為1.4美元,優於市場預期的0.99美元。收入上升54%至895.84億美元,同樣勝預期,主要受惠於5GiPhone的推出,但警告全球晶片短缺可能會令iPad及Mac電腦的銷售額減少數十億美元。
季內iPhone的銷售額為479.38億美元(按年升66%),高於市場預期的414億美元。Mac電腦及iPad的銷售額分別為91億美元(按年升70%)及78億美元(按年升79%),同樣優於預期。
蘋果公司上季大中華地區收入增長87.5%,達到177.28億美元,增幅較首季的57%有所加快。中國市場表現強勁,iPhone的銷售額比預期多65億美元,Mac電腦的銷售額比預期高約三分之一。
蘋果行政總裁庫克表示,蘋果通過現有的庫存來減低第二季晶片短缺的影響,很難預計短缺的情況何時會結束。財務總監Luca Maestri估計,第三季晶片短缺可能會令公司損失30億至40億美元的收入,但整體而言收入亦將錄得強勁的雙位數升幅。
蘋果還宣布900億美元的股份回購計劃,並將股息提高7%至每股0.22美元。在業績公布後,蘋果股價於盤後上升2.34%。
