Apple Renews Fears About Tariffs, China With Wobbly Report

Apple Inc.’s much-awaited quarterly earnings report failed to soothe investor concerns about its biggest challenges, including escalating tariff costs and a slowdown in China.

The company’s shares declined 3.7% in New York on Friday after second-quarter results included worse-than-expected sales in China. The iPhone maker also warned that tariffs will increase costs this quarter, a sign that geopolitical tensions are taking a growing toll on the business.
