Month: May 2025

Apple’s earnings report on May 1, 2025, is being closely watched by nervous investors.

MarketWatch noted that Apple usually announces how much cash it will give back to shareholders in its second-quarter earnings report.

Other major companies announcing earnings reports on May 1 are Amazon, Mastercard, McDonald’s, and CVS Health, according to Yahoo Finance.

Investors will be scrutinizing the companies’ statements on tariff impact, in particular.

According to Yahoo Finance, investors expect the earnings call for Apple’s second quarter to focus on “supply chain” issues due to tariffs.

This has been a “challenging quarter for the company as it faces headwinds from tariffs and mounting competition from China,” Yahoo Finance reported.

AI is also a concern, according to Barrons, which reported that analysts surveyed by FactSet expect Apple to post “adjusted earnings of $1.62 a share on revenue of $94.4 billion. That would be an increase from last year’s earnings of $1.53 a share on revenue of $90.8 billion.”

Apple previously announced that it may shift production of iPhones from China to India by 2026, according to Reuters.

Apple “will be reporting its Q2 2025 earnings on May 1,” around 5 p.m. Eastern time in a ” standard analyst and investor conference call,” according to Apple Insider.

As tariffs hit, Apple airlifted 600 tons of iPhones from India to the U.S., Reuters reported.

According to MarketWatch, the stock price will be closely watched to see if it stays “over its critical threshold of $200.”

U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick “has expressed a desire to see phones made domestically,” but investors don’t believe that’s “viable” for Apple, MarketWatch reported. How Apple responds to such concerns could dominate reaction to the May 1 earnings call.

A series of CEOS in recent weeks, including the CEOS of major retailers like Walmart and Target and the makers of household products, cars, soda, and other items have raised concern about the looming impact of tariffs.
