The company at the time
Apple sells the iPhone, which brings in about two-thirds of its revenue, along with Macs, iPads and a growing services business that includes the App Store and iCloud. Last week it reported that its quarterly revenue had fallen compared with a year earlier for the first time in 13 years, because fewer iPhones were sold, and it expected another decline in the next quarter. The share price was near its lowest level in about two years, and the well-known investor Carl Icahn said he had sold his stake. Apple was returning a lot of cash to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks, and it held large long-term investments that are not counted in the cash figure here.
Information available at the time
The same numbers as on company pages, as they had been reported by May 2, 2016. Sector medians aren't shown because StockLab doesn't have them as they stood back then.
Revenue, growth, profit and cash flow are for fiscal year 2015 (ended September 2015), the latest full year in an annual report filed by then; cash and debt come from the latest report (its date is on the card). Results announced after that aren't in these cards yet, even if the story above mentions them, so their numbers can differ.
