Apple reports record iPhone sales; Yahoo will do a tax free spin off of its Alibaba stake; Stocks drop on multinational earnings. Bobbi Rebell reports.
On Friday, Apple shares fell as much as 5.6%. The drop comes after the tech giant's fiscal fourth-quarter figures failed to meet analysts' expectations.

The company beat estimates for overall revenue and profit. iPhone sales were well below Apple's expectations. Apple's updated phone lineup was released roughly one month later than usual. The delay almost guaranteed sales of the new models will first materialize in its current-quarter report.
