In the grand scheme of things, only this counts:
Non-GAAP earnings per share were $1.68, topping analyst predictions of $1.65.
You top analyst predictions, your stock price goes up.
Now if I could get that much per share in dividends, I wouldn't need to work as much. Alas some of that goes to taxes and is kept outside of the greedy hands of the US tax collectors, but still better than predictions.
Me? I do own stock, and I'm a contractor here. Love getting paid twice.
