Apple Stock Falls as Manufacturing Commitments Jump $33 Billion Amid Margin Pressure

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) shares fell 4.46% to $323.23 in premarket trading at 08:21 a.m. ET Tuesday, following an earnings call that disclosed a $33 billion increase in manufacturing purchase obligations and a weaker gross margin forecast for the holiday quarter. The increase implies $90 billion in manufacturing commitments at the end of September, up nearly 58% from the $57 billion reported in Apple’s June-quarter SEC filing. However, the company had not yet disclosed the exact September figure in its annual report. The margin warning followed stronger-than-expected fiscal fourth-quarter results.
