Apple demolished earnings estimates today (both its own and Wall Street’s), so as you might expect, the company’s stock is surging in after-hours trading. At one point, after the earnings release went out, shares shot all the way up to over $263, up nearly $20 from where they closed the day, at $244.59. This was the first time Apple shares have passed the $250 threshold.
