Apple While Apple faced bad news today, it also faced some seriously good news. The company announced the financial results for the third quarter of the year, and they are - again - very good, despite the sorry state of the world economy and the PC industry. We can now also say who of the two analyst firms were correct.

No.

Both profit margins AND market share are important.

A huge profit margin with a minimal market share means your revenue is tiny, and tiny revenues are no good in an industry where product development is sometimes in the tens or hundreds of millions.
