The Biggest Takeaway From Apple's Latest Earnings Report

Share prices of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) fell 3.7% following the company's fiscal 2022 second-quarter results, released on April 28, because management had pointed out that the tech giant's performance in the current quarter will likely take a hit on account of supply chain shortages.
