To be fair, Amazon is a pretty bad company to compare to with regard to profit; Amazon intentionally tries to have 0 profits while increasing revenue.
Apple is literally running into the, "How much more money could you possibly make?" problem.

- r00fus 11y agoWhich is ridiculous on the face of it - why would Wall St. subsidize Amazon's quest for 0 profits while spurning Apple's kingly quarterly earnings? The reason is that Wall St. is threatened by Apple because they cannot control them.
- what_ever 11y agoI disagree. The only point people on Wall St pay attention to is how to make more money. Apple depends a lot on iPhone for it's profits to trading at other companies' P/E.

It's not that they want to not have profit, it's that they're wanting more to reinvest in the business than just have profit sitting around, or returning it to the shareholders. If it wasn't for that attitude, we wouldn't have AWS. We also wouldn't have the Kindle Fire Phone, so take that statement as you will.
