Put Apple’s numbers into perspective

Tuesday, Apple released its quarterly report that set out a new record for profitability. Here are some numbers to help put that report into perspective.

  1. Revenue for the three-month period ending December 27, 2014 was the equivalent of $34 million an hour
  2. Over the last 12 months, revenue was $199.8 billion, which is more than the gross annual domestic product of the Czech Republic.
  3. The quarterly earnings of Apple were more than eight times more than the most profitable quarter by the Royal Bank of Canada, Canada’s most profitable company.
  4. Apple’s stock opened 7.8 percent higher after the earning report, increasing the market cap at the open by $49.5 billion., which is the same size of Canada’s Bank of Montreal.
  5. Sales from just China added $16.1 billion to the company’s revenues. That’s more than BlackBerry’s total sales over the last nine years altogether.
