Tech giant reports $114.48 billion in quarterly revenue, surpassing Wall Street estimates as new CEO John Ternus highlights record fiscal 2026 performance and expanding AI capabilities.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple (AAPL) reported stronger-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings Monday, driven by robust iPhone demand and record Services revenue, marking a successful first earnings report under newly appointed CEO John Ternus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technology giant posted earnings per share of $2.10 on revenue of $114.48 billion, exceeding Wall Street expectations of $2.00 per share and $113.46 billion in revenue, according to Bloomberg consensus estimates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revenue increased approximately 12% year over year from $102.46 billion, while earnings per share climbed from $1.85.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple’s iPhone division generated $57.58 billion in revenue, surpassing analyst projections of $56.48 billion. The company’s Services segment delivered a record $31.57 billion, nearly matching expectations, while Mac revenue reached $10.79 billion, comfortably exceeding estimates of $9.69 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, performance was mixed across other divisions. Greater China revenue totaled $17.54 billion, falling short of the anticipated $18.75 billion. Wearables and iPad revenue declined year over year to $8.3 billion and $6.23 billion, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ternus, who succeeded Tim Cook on September 1, highlighted Apple’s expanding ecosystem, which now includes more than 2.5 billion active devices worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CEO also emphasized Apple’s latest product innovations, including the foldable iPhone Duo, iPhone 18 Pro lineup, AirPods 5, and enhanced Siri artificial intelligence capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple reported record fiscal 2026 revenue of $479 billion, alongside double-digit earnings-per-share growth. Quarterly gross margins reached 47.9%, benefiting from a one-percentage-point contribution from tariff refunds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company also announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.27 per share, payable November 16 to shareholders of record November 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple recently reclaimed its position as the world’s most valuable publicly traded company, surpassing Nvidia with a market capitalization exceeding $5 trillion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite stronger earnings, investor attention remains focused on China’s performance, holiday-quarter demand, and Apple’s ability to sustain momentum through its expanding product ecosystem and artificial intelligence initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shares edged higher in after-hours trading following the announcement, reflecting a measured market response to the company’s record-breaking results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
