Apple stock sinks despite record earnings as a new threat hits its margins

The bear-case margin compression and growth stall
The market previously declined the bear-case margin compression, but guidance of 45-46% margins (down from 47.9%) and Services growth of 8-9% (below the 10.7% Street estimate) directly supports that rejected scenario.
