When is Apple's next earnings report?
Apple's next earnings report covers the fourth quarter of its fiscal 2026 and comes out after the close on November 2, 2026. Apple's fiscal year ends in late September, so fiscal Q4 2026 means roughly July to September 2026, the quarter that includes the first weeks of sales of the iPhones launched in September.

- Status: confirmed
What time is Apple earnings in my time zone?
The November 2 report falls the day after US daylight saving time ends on November 1, so New York is on EST (UTC−5) and Beijing is 13 hours ahead. Apple usually publishes its results about 30 minutes before the call.
- New York (EST): results after 4:00 p.m. on Mon Nov 2; call at 5:00 p.m.
- London (GMT): results after 9:00 p.m. on Mon Nov 2; call at 10:00 p.m.

Apple's late-July report falls on US daylight saving time, when Beijing is 12 hours ahead of New York.
What is Apple expected to report for fiscal Q4 2026?
On its July 30 call, Apple guided fiscal Q4 2026 revenue to grow 9% to 11% from a year earlier, which would put revenue at about $111.7 billion to $113.7 billion. LSEG data showed analysts had expected 12% growth, and Apple blamed supply constraints rather than demand, according to Reuters. Analysts tracked by Zacks expect revenue of $112.95 billion and EPS of $2.00, as of October 26 (Zacks via Yahoo Finance).
- iPhone: revenue growth in the mid-teens, against 17.6% analysts had expected in July
- Services: growth largely similar to the June quarter's 12%
- Gross margin: 47% to 48%, including about 1 point from tariff refunds
- Operating expenses: $19.1 billion to $19.4 billion
The guidance for the December quarter will matter more than these numbers. It is Apple's biggest quarter, and the first full holiday quarter under Ternus. Memory chip supply, which Apple flagged as a constraint all year, is the main risk to that outlook. For the longer-term view, see our Apple (AAPL) price target and stock price prediction.
Who is Apple's CEO now?
John Ternus became Apple's CEO on September 1, 2026. Apple announced the change on April 20, 2026. Tim Cook, CEO since 2011, became executive chairman. Ternus previously ran hardware engineering and has been at Apple since 2001. The July 30 call was Cook's last as CEO, and the November 2 call will be the first led by Ternus, with CFO Kevan Parekh.
What did Apple report last quarter?
On July 30, 2026, Apple reported fiscal Q3 2026 (April–June 2026) revenue of $109.4 billion, up 16%, and EPS of $2.02, against $1.89 expected. EPS included $0.11 from tariff refunds, and gross margin of 50.1% included about 2 points from the same refunds (Apple Q3 FY2026 release).
- iPhone: $54.25 billion against $53.86 billion expected
- Services: $30.74 billion, up 12%, against $31.22 billion expected, a miss
- Greater China: $18.82 billion, against $19.67 billion expected by Visible Alpha, a miss
- Guidance: 9% to 11% revenue growth for the September quarter, below the 12% analysts expected
AAPL closed at $308.91 the next day, down 7.35%, its biggest post-earnings drop in at least three years.
How did AAPL trade on MEXC after the last report?
MEXC's Apple perpetual futures contract, AAPLSTOCK_USDT (displayed as AAPL_USDT, 1 contract = 0.01 AAPL), trades 24/7. After the fiscal Q3 2026 release, it took most of the loss within two hours.
- 4:00 p.m. ET, Jul 30 (US close): 334.01 USDT
- 6:00 p.m. ET, Jul 30 (6:00 a.m. Beijing): 311.92 USDT, down 6.6%
- 3:00 a.m. ET, Jul 31 (3:00 p.m. Beijing): 312.71 USDT, down 6.4%
- 9:00 a.m. ET, Jul 31 (30 minutes before the US open): 308.85 USDT, down 7.5%
- 12:00 p.m. ET, Jul 31: 301.92 USDT, down 9.6%
By 6:00 a.m. Beijing time, the contract had already priced in most of the stock's 7.35% fall, and it barely moved during the Asian day. It then fell further after the US open. 24/7 trading lets you place orders outside US market hours, but it does not mean prices are discovered around the clock: liquidity is thinner overnight, and the contract can still gap when the cash market opens.

Apple publishes results after the 4:00 p.m. ET close, usually around 4:30 p.m., and holds its earnings call at 5:00 p.m. ET (2:00 p.m. PT).
Why is a November report called fiscal Q4?
Apple's fiscal year ends on the last Saturday of September. Fiscal 2026 ended on September 26, 2026, so its fourth quarter covers roughly July to September 2026 and is reported in late October or early November.
What is Apple's revenue guidance for this quarter?
Apple expects fiscal Q4 2026 revenue to grow 9% to 11% from a year earlier, with iPhone revenue up in the mid-teens and a gross margin of 47% to 48%.
Is this John Ternus's first earnings call?
Yes. John Ternus became Apple's CEO on September 1, 2026, so the November 2 call is his first as CEO. Tim Cook, now executive chairman, led his last call on July 30, 2026.
Does Apple usually beat earnings estimates?
Yes. Apple beat both revenue and EPS estimates in each of the 12 quarters from fiscal Q4 2023 to fiscal Q3 2026. The stock still fell after 8 of those 12 reports, so the beat alone has not decided the reaction.

Apple streams the call live on its Investor Relations site, where the press release and a replay are also posted.
Can I trade AAPL when the US market is closed?

MEXC lists an Apple perpetual futures contract (AAPLSTOCK_USDT) that trades 24/7, including the hours right after Apple reports. See how to trade stock futures on MEXC. Futures are leveraged and carry a risk of loss, and overnight prices can differ from where the stock opens.
