Apple Inc. shares rebounded Friday as investors looked past a disappointing quarter that was hurt by supply-chain snags, focusing instead on the tech giant’s longer-term prospects.

The stock jumped 4.2% to $157.22 in New York, shaking off a decline in early trading. Despite some of Apple’s worst holiday numbers in years, investors saw hopeful signs in the company’s latest results, including a jump in services revenue.
