### Comment:
If they lowballed revenue growth, then a beat will put them in line with consensus. As for your argument about aapl vs other companies - that literally doesn’t matter at all. The stock is priced for Apple-specific expectations.

### REPLY:
I agree the beat is an expectation. That’s why the whisper was at 2.90 vs the 2.73 posted.  
  
 It should matter considering the price is being massively effected. The price is there and it’s EPS and forward PE justify it. The expectation that it should have huge EPS, massive cash on hand, and grow faster than any other company makes the expectations too high in my opinion.

### END.
