Apple (AAPL) Lower as Tech Peers Miss; Time to Buy Into Q3 Tape? (GOOG) (MSFT)

July 18, 2013 5:29 PM EDT
Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) is unsurprisingly lower in after-hours trading Thursday.

The move is stemming from tech peers posting less-than-astonishing quarterly numbers. For example, Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) reported adjusted EPS of 66 cents with revenue of $19.9 billion, while the Street was looking for EPS of 75 cents and richer revs of $20.7 billion.

Also, Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) posted EPS of $9.56 and revenue of $14.1 billion, while consensus views were looking for EPS of $10.78 and revs of $14.4 billion.

Faring bad, but off of earlier lows is Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD). The company reported a better-than-expected loss of 9 cents per share with revenue of $1.16 billion, but is still down as Google and Microsoft slump.

With analysts seeing plenty of upside for Apple when it reports quarterly results next week, is a potential move lower on Friday a buying opportunity into the tape? Wells Fargo comments are here, while Barclays comments can be found here.

Shares are down about one-quarter percent Thursday night.
