Apple shares slide as Greater China sales miss and services revenue falls short
Apple's fiscal Q3 beat on revenue and EPS, driven by strong iPhone and Mac sales, but Services revenue missed by nearly $1B and Greater China sales fell short of expectations, undermining the highest-margin growth engine and raising durability concerns. With Apple's outsized index weight and premium valuation, the after-hours drop can pressure broader megacap tech sentiment, especially amid ongoing supply-cost and China-demand sensitivities.
