Apple analysts 'snookered' themselves, Cramer says
Jim Cramer said that Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) CEO Tim Cook "played real a good game" in the latest quarter.
Apple's stock surged 7 percent Wednesday after the company beat earnings and revenue estimates.
"The bottom line here is that the analysts thought that there was going to be a lot of price cutting because Apple couldn't sell its phones," Cramer said Wednesday on CNBC's " Squawk on the Street ." "(But) Apple sold through rather well, service revenue was pretty good. So I'm going to say [analysts] snookered themselves."
He also noted that many analysts are attributing Apple's spike in stock to low expectations.
"It looks like Apple didn't build enough inventory. They sold through this large-form factor fund, but they still made a lot of money," Cramer said.
Cramer also mentioned Apple's Chinese market.
"China is challenging. Hong Kong is challenging. China is a problem, China is just not that good," Cramer said. "I think that [Tim Cook] reiterated again and again that it's a great market, but India is going to surpass that market in 2020."
