Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Friday's business news headlines

And I think even from the US perspective, in terms of bringing...

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam

goods into the US, an awful lot of companies are looking to try to move from single source as well.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Friday's business news headlines

So, look, I think, you know, it's nice that there was an Entente Cordiale signed for a little while, but as we know, you know,

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam

And certainly the Trump administration in a couple of months time could turn around and get annoyed about something.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Friday's business news headlines

And lo and behold, we're back to square one again.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Friday's business news headlines

So I would say a brief breath of relief, but nobody is certainly putting anything permanent around it.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Friday's business news headlines

Yeah, and that's ultimately the big thing here that the American administration might not want to admit it.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam

But the reality is when you look at the cards that China are holding, particularly around the rare earths and things like that, rare earth licenses and access to rare earths and how dependent the US is on that.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Friday's business news headlines

That is the key linchpin in all of this from the US side of it.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam

They really have to play nice and try to do it.

The revenue for this quarter was solid and kind of came in a little bit better than expected.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Friday's business news headlines

The revenues overall grew about 8%, but I suppose what's interesting within that, it's actually not really the products that are driving it this quarter.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Friday's business news headlines

It's been very much around the music and everything else that they offer, but

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Friday's business news headlines

What's going to potentially change in between now and this fourth quarter that we're in is they've ramped up their forecast for the iPhone.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Friday's business news headlines

So the iPhone 17 obviously went out in just a couple of weeks ago and they see it going to be significant tailwind in terms of numbers for this quarter.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Friday's business news headlines

So to the extent that they've actually increased their guidance for revenue for this quarter,

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Friday's business news headlines

Wall Street had expected revenue growth of about 6%, and the company have come out now and saying that in the quarter, revenue growth is going to be between 10% and 12%, really all on the back of the iPhones, because they're basically expecting double-digit iPhone growth in December as a result of coming into Christmas and things like that.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Friday's business news headlines

Yeah.
