Apple own nearly 10% marketshare in PC sales

Posted Oct 21st 2008 3:50PM by Brian White

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) stepped up its market share in Q3, lifting its personal computer sales to nearly 10% of all PCs sold, according to research firm Gartner, Inc. For Apple, this is great news -- it's steadily taking sales from larger competitors Dell, Inc. (NASDAQ: DELL) and global PC sales leader Hewlett-Packard Corp. (NYSE: HPQ). Its laptop PCs continue to sell like hotcakes, even with prices that are much higher than the discount prices you would normally see on Windows-based laptop PCs.

Although Apple CEO Steve Jobs said last week that the company won't be getting into the "netbook" business (tiny notebook PCs with limited features), a Gartner research analyst said the company could be in trouble for not having a product to address this market. I think Apple is right here, though; just because there is a market doesn't mean Apple needs to play in it. The laptop PC industry continues to try and find the next big niche so that product segments like fully-functional laptop PCs won't see decelerating growth. When there is a lack of demand, create it; that must be the PC industry's rallying call.

With Apple releasing quarterly earnings in just over an hour from now, my prediction is that the current quarter's results will reflect a company that is timing its product releases, refreshes and entire product line transitions with great precision. It has shown that it can grow market share without being involved in trends that others create. Rather, it creates its own trends and gives birth to new industries as a result.

Apple soars on iPhone sales

Posted by Michael Fowlkes on Oct 21st 2008

Tech giant Apple Inc. put up some impressive numbers for its fiscal fourth quarter the afternoon as the company saw huge shipments of its iPhone and Macintosh products , but did forecast that its first quarter was going to be challenging.

Going into this afternoon's earnings announcement, analysts had been expecting the company to earn $1.11 a share, but the company shattered that estimate with a reported $1.26 per share, accompanied with a revenue jump of 27% to $7.9 billion.

Most of the attention that Apple has received over the past six months has surrounded its upgraded iPhone, the iPhone 3G. During the quarter, iPhone shipments shot through the roof, rising six times to 6.9 million units.

But the iPhone is not the only product that is shining for Apple. Macintosh sales were up 21%, and iPod sales were also on the rise, with revenues up 8%.

Apple computers have definitely been gaining market share, and according to the company's Chief Operating Officer, Tim Cook, during the quarter, Apple's share of the U.S. retail market rose to 18%.

Looking ahead, Apple issued a weaker-than-expected forecast for its fiscal first quarter, stating that it expects to see earnings during the quarter of $1.06 to $1.35 per share, much lower than the $1.65 that analysts had been expecting. While the forecast is well below what analysts were hoping to see, the company is known for issuing weak forecasts and then blowing them away, as it did once again this period.

Despite the weaker-than-expected forecast, shares of Apple stock are moving sharply higher in after-hours trading, up over 13% to $103.83
