Two minutes before the close of trading, Apple shares briefly touched 429.98. That’s their lowest point since Jan. 24, 2012, when the stock closed at $420.50 in advance of the company’s fiscal Q1 2012 earnings release. When Apple reported blow-out earnings that day on sales of 37 million iPhones, the stock rocketed up $37.50 in after-hours trading.

Apple hasn’t had a day like that in some time. In the same quarter this year, the company sold 47.8 million iPhones (up 30%) — and 23 million iPads (up 50%) — and got punished for its efforts.
