The tech giant said that for its first quarter of its fiscal 2019, it brought in earnings of $4.18 per share, coming in ahead of the $4.17 per share that analysts were calling for, according to data compiled by Refinitiv. Apple also brought in revenue of $84.3 billion, which was better than the $83.97 billion that Refinitiv called for.

The smartwatch maker added that its revenue for its services segment for the period tallied up to $10.9 billion, which was a 29% gain compared to what it amassed during its first quarter of fiscal 2018. The tech giant added that its iPhone revenue for its first quarter was $51.98 billion, below the $52.67 billion that analysts polled by Refinitiv called for.

Plus, Apple’s iPad sales brought in $6.73 billion, its Mac revenue was $7.42 billion and its wearables, home and accessories categories brought in $7.31 billion in sales. The Wall Street consensus estimate was calling for these figures to come in at $5.90 billion, $7.42 billion and $7.33 billion respectively.

For its second quarter of its fiscal 2018, the company sees its revenue as being between $55 billion and $59 billion, with its midpoint guidance of $57 billion missing the $58.83 billion that Wall Street forecasts.
