More: background

Apple’s fiscal third quarter is its first earnings report under Ternus, who succeeded the previous CEO in September. Revenue is the total money the company earned from sales, and analysts’ expectations are forecasts made by financial experts. Beating those forecasts is seen as a positive sign, especially as other major tech firms reported weaker results in the same period.
