RIM Publishes 2nd Quarter Financials – 2.6 Million New Subscribers
RIM posted their financial numbers for the past quarter yesterday and things look good. On the other hand RIM came in below analyst estimates so investors are not all happy. I am not much for analyzing financial results so I will leave that to others. I will post some highlights below from Alley Insider comparing the actual results to analyst predictions. Its interesting to see that even though RIM reported a 72% increase in revenues their shares fell 16%. I love that number of 2.6 million new BerryReview readers BlackBerry users.
- Revenue: $2.58 billion vs. $2.60 billion consensus
- EPS: $0.86 vs. $0.87 consensus
- Net Sub. Adds: 2.6 million vs. 2.6 million (RBC, AmTech), 2.7 million (Citi)
- Device Shipments: 6.1 million vs. 6.1 million (AmTech, Citi), 6.3 million (RBC)
