Apple wasn't the only one to disappoint analysts as Vodafone this morning warned that annual revenues would be near the bottom of its forecast range. It’s shares were down 13 percent in early trading.

Chief executive Arun Sarin, who steps down next Tuesday, said: “Notwithstanding this more challenging operating environment, we continue to benefit from a diversity of assets and services, with strong revenue growth in EMAPA and another good quarter of data revenue growth offsetting weakness in Spain.

“Whilst we expect revenue around the bottom of the outlook range, our continued focus on cost reduction enables us to reiterate our operating profit and cash flow guidance for the year.”

Kind of missed the point in this article, they announced that their profit for the quarter was £120million above expectations, however they also said that sales would be £250million lower in the 4th quarter, hence removing any likely gain. Also they said iPhone sales were a million on day one but it seems only 717,000 were sold… curious! It wasnt that Wall Street was expecting significantly more, it was just that there were a few announcements that were basically neutral (especially given this quarter should have been massive given the high earning iPhone).
