Does this China stock market melt down and slightly lower GDP going forward somehow translateinto lower demand for i-watches from the Chinese people? One would think so. Shorting AAPL. Is this a call Surf?
How many Watches did Apple sell last quarter? Second pass by Philip Elmer-DeWitt @philiped July 19, 2015, 9:36 AM EDT Apple won’t say, but that doesn’t stop analysts from making more or less educated guesses. It’s the number Wall Street is most curious about, and the one Tim Cook is least likely to reveal next Tuesday, when Apple delivers its quarterly earnings report. “I’m not very anxious in reporting a lot of numbers on Apple Watch,” said Cook last fall, “because competitors look for it.” So unless he changes his mind, the Street will have to make do with the estimates of Apple watchers and the contradictory results from analyses of consumer e-mail receipts—one showing Watch sales soaring, the second—swiftly denounced by Apple aficionados—showing them falling off a cliff. We’ve made two passes at the estimates of Fortune‘s panel of analysts. Although the estimates fell a bit in the fortnight between them, they’re not that far apart. Two weeks ago, 10 analysts estimated that Apple sold 4.5 million Watches by June 27, when Apple wrapped up its third fiscal quarter. Today the average of the 27 analysts we’ve heard from—14 professionals and 13 independents—is a bit under 4.1 million. Below, the individual estimates, with the pros in blue and the amateurs in green.
Great video, dealmaker. Thank you. I love RM's anti-bling statement ---- Rubber strap on a diver--- the antithesis of bling-- but clearly not in the $700k velcro strap league LOL
