Apple Inc earnings in focus for investors
After Silicon Valley giants Alphabet and Microsoft disappointed this week, Tuesday brings Apple’s second-quarter earnings.
The iPhone maker’s guidance for the second quarter suggests an 11% decline in revenue compared to the same period last year.
iPhone sales account for just under 70% of its total revenue, so it seems management expect sales to decline during the period, a continued trend from the last quarter.
