Apple's shares rose by over 4% after the company reported financial results that exceeded estimates.

Apple's shares have recorded a growth of over 4%, marking the strongest advance in the last nine months, after the company reported financial results that exceeded analysts' estimates. The tech giant estimates revenue growth between 14% and 17% for the fiscal quarter ending in June, significantly above the analysts' forecast of 9.5%. CEO Tim Cook highlighted the strong demand for the new iPhone 17 lineup, considered the most popular in the company's history, and for Mac computers. Although the company faces pressures due to the global memory crisis, it has managed to maintain a high growth rate, supported by the launch of the affordable MacBook Neo model. Apple reported revenues of $111.18 billion for the previous quarter, with a 17% increase compared to last year. The services division generated nearly $31 billion, significantly contributing to profitability. The company's gross margin increased to 49.3%, confirming the trend of improvement, despite the high costs of components. Analysts believe that Apple has the capacity to manage these challenges, even though the risks related to memory costs remain high.
