(Reuters) - Apple Inc's quarterly earnings easily beat Wall Street's estimates once more, helping the technology giant's shares slightly higher after hours.
The following are comments from investors and analysts.
COLIN GILLIS, ANALYST, BGC FINANCIAL
"It's a monster quarter. Their guidance is strong too, it's a holiday quarter. There's just a worldwide demand for APPLE (AAPL.NQ)products."
RICHARD SICHEL, CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER, PHILADELPHIA TRUST CO
"It looks like they just broke right through the estimates of sales of the hot products, and thanks to that, earnings-per-share and revenues were dramatically more than expected."
"Basically they really just shot right by what people were looking for. It looks very positive."
BILL KREHER, ANALYST, EDWARD JONES
"Apple's results were tremendous and the company continues to distance itself from industry peers. Just the magnitude of the iPhone beat is very impressive."
