Article Context
Apple’s fourth-quarter revenue topped analysts’ estimates and Chief Financial Officer Kevan Parekh gave an upbeat forecast for the holiday season, helping renew optimism about the iPhone maker. Total sales rose 7.9% to $102.5 billion in the period, which ended Sept. 27, the company said in a statement Thursday. That slightly beat the $102.2 billion average estimate. The company benefited from stronger-than-expected services growth, helping offset a slowdown in China. The Mac and wearables division also performed better than anticipated.
