“The ingredients are in place for Apple to report an all-around solid 3Q18. If Apple reports more than $52.5B of revenue, 3Q18 would mark the company’s seventh consecutive quarter of accelerating revenue growth,” Neil Cybart writes for Above Avalon. “A higher iPhone average selling price (ASP) driven by iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and X will likely represent the largest driver behind Apple’s year-over-year revenue growth. Services and wearables are positioned to represent Apple’s second and third largest revenue growth drivers, respectively. ”
“My 3Q18 iPhone sales expectation range is for Apple to report between 41M and 45M units,” Cybart writes. ” If Apple reports close to $4 billion of “Other Products” revenue, the implication is that Apple Watch and AirPods were strong sellers in 3Q18. In addition, Apple would have likely sold a respectable number of HomePods. A result closer to $3 billion of revenue would reflect somewhat weak wearables sales. ”
Cybart writes, “Revenue guidance that exceeds $60 billion would be viewed favorably while revenue guidance closer to $56B to $57B would likely lead to analysts wanting additional clarification from management on the earnings call.”

Let’s hope it’s enough to drive the share price up to around $195. I’m not asking for a lot. I know $1T isn’t in the cards this quarter.
Wow wow, first time ever Laughing boy48 was not whining about Apple.
Which is a wonderful signals that Apple would spike to the upsides tomorrow afternoon. 😃👍
Long APLE, GLTA.
I have the greatest respect for Neil’s analysis, but this note leaves enough wiggle room that a truck could drive through it.
Never thought, long ago, Apple services would bring in the billions.
The day may come when Apple is a services company that also makes computers and earphones and phones.
Unfortunately Apple services suck.
