Apple will announce the results of its fiscal third quarter of 2026 on Monday, November 2. Here’s what to expect.
Price increases likely to play major role
Apple confirmed today that it will report its Q4 2026 earnings on Monday, November 29.
Following the release of its quarterly results, the company will host a conference call at 2:00 p.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. ET, where John Ternus is expected to participate for the first time as Apple’s new CEO, alongside Apple CFO Kevan Parekh.
For its fiscal Q4 last year, Apple reported $102.47 billion in revenue, up 8%, and $27.47 billion in profit, a whopping 87% increase compared to a $14.7 billion profit in Q4 2024, as a result of a one-time $10.2 billion tax charge related to Apple’s long-running tax dispute in Ireland.
During last quarter’s earnings, Apple said it expected revenue for fiscal Q4 2026 to grow between 9% and 11% year over year, despite an expected 2.5 percentage-point foreign exchange headwind and significantly greater supply constraints affecting the iPhone, Mac, and iPad.
If that pans out, Apple’s revenue should come in between $111.69 billion and $113.74 billion. Apple also guided for a gross margin between 47% and 48%, down from 50.1% last quarter, although that figure included a roughly two-percentage-point benefit from tariff refunds.
In practical terms, Apple’s quarterly results will offer the first full-quarter look at the impact of the sweeping price increases it introduced across much of its hardware lineup in late June.
It is also worth noting that, since the reporting period for this fiscal quarter ended in late September, the results are unlikely to provide a meaningful indication of demand for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, which also received price increases, as the new models only went on sale on September 18.
That said, Apple’s results will reveal how the company weathered another quarter of memory shortages and rising component costs, clearing the way for Ternus’s first full fiscal quarter as CEO to be reported in late January.
