Apple Inc (AAPL US) $US173.03

Apple's quarterly revenue declined as it faced declining iPhone sales and anaemic demand for its products in China, but the Bloomberg headline summed up the market reception of its earnings numbers nicely, “Apple sales drop less than feared as company plots comeback”. Some of the headlines in the company's earnings were very impressive: Apple's services business delivered $23.9 billion in revenue for the March quarter, up 12.4% from a year earlier – the consensus was $23.1bn.
