- Sid Philip, Bloomberg Chief Correspondent for Global Aviation, discusses Spirit Aviation Holdings laying the groundwork to shutter its operations as it runs low on cash. Spirit, buffeted by the recent surge in fuel costs, had been in talks with the US government on a rescue financing, but those conversations hit an impasse in recent days, Bloomberg previously reported. 

-Gene Munster, Managing Partner at Deepwater Asset Management, discusses big tech earnings. Apple Inc. delivered a strong revenue forecast for the third quarter, with sales expected to rise 14% to 17% in the period. The company warned that memory-chip costs will increase and that shortages of Mac computers will persist for “several months.”

- Vincent Piazza, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Equity Research Analyst, Oil & Gas, discusses Chevron and Exxon earnings. Exxon Mobil Corp. and Chevron Corp. posted stronger-than-expected earnings for the first quarter due to higher oil and natural gas prices.

-Deborah Aitken, Bloomberg Intelligence Luxury Goods Analyst, discusses Estee Lauder earnings. Estée Lauder Cos. plans to cut as many as 3,000 more jobs and generate a further $200 million of savings to help boost its turnaround plan.

Spirit Makes Plans to Shutter After Government Rescue Fizzles

Apple delivered second-quarter revenue that edged past analysts’ estimates, helped by demand for the iPhone and Mac, while failing to produce the blowout results that some investors were anticipating. 

Revenue gained 17% to $111.2 billion during the period, which ended March 28, the company said in a statement Thursday. Analysts had anticipated $109.7 billion on average. Apple itself had projected sales growth of 13% to 16%.

The company is benefiting from a series of new products launched in March, including the MacBook Neo, iPhone 17e, updated iPad Air models and a fresh MacBook Pro. The $599 Neo — Apple’s first major push into low-cost laptops — has been particularly popular and remains sold out at several retailers.

Still, the results were uneven. Apple fell short of expectations in the Americas and Europe regions, while exceeding projections in China and other parts of Asia. The iPhone — its flagship product — was in line with the average Wall Street estimate.
