Apple delivered second-quarter revenue that edged past analysts’ estimates, helped by demand for the iPhone and Mac, while failing to produce the blowout results that some investors were anticipating. 

Revenue gained 17% to $111.2 billion during the period, which ended March 28, the company said in a statement Thursday. Analysts had anticipated $109.7 billion on average. Apple itself had projected sales growth of 13% to 16%.

The company is benefiting from a series of new products launched in March, including the MacBook Neo, iPhone 17e, updated iPad Air models and a fresh MacBook Pro. The $599 Neo — Apple’s first major push into low-cost laptops — has been particularly popular and remains sold out at several retailers.

Still, the results were uneven. Apple fell short of expectations in the Americas and Europe regions, while exceeding projections in China and other parts of Asia. The iPhone — its flagship product — was in line with the average Wall Street estimate.

Four of the biggest companies in the US: Alphabet, Amazon, Meta and Microsoft all reported earnings after the bell.

- Meta Platforms shares slid after the company raised its spending outlook for the year, reigniting fears that the historic levels of investment it’s making to build artificial intelligence models won’t pay off.

- Microsoft's cloud business reported growth that narrowly beat analysts’ estimates, disappointing investors concerned that the company isn’t fully capitalizing on demand for AI services.

- Amazon spent more than anticipated to expand data center capacity in the quarter, fueling the fastest sales growth for its cloud unit in more than three years.

- Alphabet (GOOGL) reported quarterly revenue and profit that beat projections, fueled by strong growth in its cloud computing unit, signaling that the internet giant’s unprecedented investments in AI infrastructure are beginning to pay off.

Bloomberg's Tom Keene and Jonathan Ferro and Lisa Abramowicz discuss remarks from Fed Chair Jay Powell following the Federal Reserve's latest policy decision on a special edition of Bloomberg Surveillance.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said he’ll remain at the central bank as a governor after his term as chair ends. “After my term as chair ends on May 15, I will continue to serve as a governor for a period of time to be determined,” Powell said Wednesday at a press conference.

While Powell’s term as Fed chair ends on May 15, his seat on the Board of Governors doesn’t expire until 2028. “I plan to keep a low profile as a governor,” he said. “There is only ever one chair of the Federal Reserve Board. When Kevin Warsh is confirmed and sworn in, he will be that chair.”
