quarterly earnings

Nintendo detailed its latest quarterly financial details today, revealing a surprise upswing in revenue as quarterly sales increased more than 20-percent and net profit hit 8.28 billion yen (versus last year’s 9.9 billion yen loss for the same quarter).

Following Apple's recent report, Microsoft has dropped details on its own most recent financial quarter, and it doesn't bring good news: the company had its worst quarterly results ever, something partly attributed to its Nokia happenings and a continually downturned PC market.

Apple's Q3 2015 earnings report this afternoon suggested that a revenue of $49.6 billion was lead by sales in China and the iPhone. While the Apple Watch was also on the docket, Apple did not reveal any sort of sales numbers on the device.

This earnings report was mostly reserved for the 35 percent year over year growth in sales of the iPhone.

Twitter has announced their quarterly earnings, and it’s a mixed bag. While they’ve got plenty of positive things to say, and the upside is huge, the social service once again lost money. For Q1 2015, Twitter reports they had a net loss of $162 million, but revenue of $436 million, up 74% year-over-year. A positive rise, but ultimately short of their $440-450 million estimate. Through non-GAAP EPS of $0.07 (analysts expected $0.04), Twitter stock dropped hard, and is currently down almost 20%.

Not all was stars and sunshine, however, and it suffered in the same area many of it competitors have been feeling the squeeze: PCs. The PC market has been in a slump for a while now, suffering from the proliferation of mobile devices and a consumer trend away from traditional computers, and no exception was made for Microsoft, which saw its Windows revenue decline sharply.
