Apple(NASDAQ: APPL) has had a great 2018. Even as the other FAANG stocks slumped, the trillion-dollar electronics company has continually satisfied Wall Street with quarter-over-quarter revenuegrowth.

But will Apple momentum continue after it reports its fourth-quarter earnings on Thursday The consensus, so far, is yes.

Apple is expected to postrevenue of $61.43 billion (earningsper share of $2.78), an increase of 17 percent year-over-year and GAAP EPS of $2.78, according to analysts polled by FactSet.

Investors will bepaying close attention to iPhone unit sales, which account for the majority of Apple revenue, as well as Mac sales, which accounted for roughly 10 percent of the company revenue in Q3. The company reported its Q3 earnings on July 31, posting $53.3 billion in revenue, its best June quarter ever and fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth, the company said. At today hardware event in Brooklyn, Apple chief executive officer Tim Cook shared that the company Mac business had grown to 100 million monthly active users — a big accomplishment for the nearly 10-year-old product.

Cook also showcased the new MacBook Airand introduced the newiPad Proand Mac Mini. Not even Lana Del Rey surprise performanceat the event was enough to rile up Wall Street.

Apple stock was unreactive today, as is typically the case with hardware spectacles like these.

Apple ultimately closed up about .5 percent.

That a better outcome than its last hardware event in September, which despite the highly anticipated announcements of the iPhone XS and Apple Watch Series 4,forced the company stock down about 1.2 percent on the news. Apple stock performance year to date Year to date, Apple stock has risen more than 30 percent from a February low of $155 per share to an October high of $229. If it fails to meet analyst expectations on Thursday, it bad news for the stock market: &Apple is the last domino standing,& Market Watch wroteearlier today.

&Its FAANG brethren have all crashed, even the mighty Amazon, which has slumped about 25% from all-time highs.& If you missed today event, we live-blogged the whole thinghereand detailed all the new hardware here.
