Apple, Alphabet, Amazon Hurt as Economic Slump Crimps Demand
(Bloomberg) -- Technology bellwethers Apple Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and Alphabet Inc. posted results Thursday that show an economic slowdown is throttling demand for everything from electronics and e-commerce to cloud computing and digital advertising.
Most Read from Bloomberg
Apple’s sales fell more than analysts predicted during the holiday quarter, slammed by slack purchases of iPhones and Macs. Amazon’s revenue was trimmed by soft consumer demand for products sold online and slowing growth in a once-booming business that provides remote computing power to companies. Alphabet’s results missed estimates after customers curtailed orders for ads that appear alongside online search results.
“The war in Ukraine, inflationary pressures, economic uncertainty and macroeconomic headwinds kept the consumer sentiment weak in 2022 while smartphone users reduced the frequency of their purchases,” Harmeet Singh Walia, a senior analyst at Counterpoint Research, wrote in a report on Apple.
The tech industry is facing a harsh new reality after the flush years of the pandemic, during which electronics flew off the shelves and demand surged for more computing storage as people worked and went to school at home. Now, with the US Federal Reserve steadily raising interest rates to control inflation, combined with slowing economic growth, consumers and business are tapping the brakes.
Economic weakness also affected business demand for ads and cloud computing, said Mandeep Singh, technology lead at Bloomberg Intelligence. The sluggish economy was most evident at Alphabet “as they called out advertisers pulling back, echoing what other ad vendors have said,” he said in an interview. “Cloud consumption is coming down, though growth rates are still higher there.”

Newmont makes $16.9 billion offer for Australia's top gold producer Newcrest
MELBOURNE (Reuters) -Australia's No. 1 gold miner Newcrest Mining Ltd said it was considering a $16.9 billion takeover offer from U.S. giant Newmont Corp after it had rejected a previous bid, in a deal that would leverage both miners' operations in Australia and Canada. The all-share offer comes as Newcrest seeks a new boss, with previous chief executive Sandeep Biswas having stepped down in December, and as global interest rates are expected to peak this year and turn down, improving gold price expectations. The indicative offer price implies a premium of about 21% to Newcrest's last closing value of A$22.45, with Newcrest shareholders receiving 0.380 Newmont shares for every Newcrest share.
