Apple is set to report results, with investors focused on whether new products and AI plans can offset rising component prices. It will be the first earnings call for CEO John Ternus, who succeeded Tim Cook in September, and attention will be on holiday-quarter guidance, the AI strategy, updated Siri, and higher memory-chip costs. Ternus oversaw launches including the first foldable iPhone, a smart home hub and first touchscreen laptops, which began shipping in the current fiscal first quarter. Analysts expect earnings growth to slow, possibly to its lowest level in six quarters. Apple recently regained the title of most valuable publicly listed company at about $5.03 trillion, ahead of Nvidia at over $4.93 trillion.

- New Apple boss John Ternus faces investors for first time amid iPhone Duo scrutiny
Apple CEO John Ternus will hold his first earnings call with investors on Monday, amid scrutiny over rising memory-chip costs, the company's AI strategy and the new $2,000 foldable iPhone Duo. Apple says a screen-cracking issue affects only "a small number" of Duo units, though an internal memo to Apple Stores suggests it is widespread enough to warrant an official notice. Analysts expect fiscal fourth-quarter revenue to rise 11% to $113.39 billion and net profit to rise about 6% to $29.04 billion, while memory-chip costs could pull profit growth down to its weakest rate in six quarters. Services revenue is projected to grow nearly 10% to $31.56 billion, its slowest pace in more than three years, and iPhone sales are expected to rise about 15% to $56.54 billion. Apple's shares are up roughly 27% this year.
- Apple Schedules Launch Event For New Pro Macs Under Leadership Of John Ternus
Apple has scheduled a launch event for Oct. 28 in Los Angeles, and its invitation’s “Pro and tell” tagline points to high-end “Pro” devices with Apple’s own chips. Melius Research analyst Ben Reitzes expects new Macs, including a touchscreen notebook, though Apple has long resisted the idea of touchscreen Macs. It will be the third launch under CEO John Ternus, who took over from Tim Cook last month, and Reitzes sees the faster event pace as a meaningful shift from two events a year. Most of the Mac lineup is already refreshed, with the iMac the exception as it has not been updated since October 2024, and Macs accounted for 10% of last quarter’s revenue. Apple’s revenue reached $109.4 billion, up 16%, with Mac revenue up 29% to $10.4 billion, and the stock is up 26% this year.
- Apple announces product launch event for Oct. 28. Analysts expect touchscreen laptop
Apple has sent invitations to media and analysts for a product launch event on October 28 in Los Angeles, with the tagline “Pro and tell” suggesting a focus on high-end Pro devices powered by its homegrown chips. Melius Research analyst Ben Reitzes expects new Macs this fall, including a touchscreen notebook, and sees the launch cadence as a meaningful shift from two events a year under CEO John Ternus, who succeeded Tim Cook last month. It will be the third launch under Ternus, after the iPhone event (including the foldable Duo) and a New York event on smart home hubs. Macs made up about 10% of revenue last quarter, and Apple shares are up 26% this year, outperforming the S&P 500.
- Apple announces another event – with a whole new kind of MacBook expected
Apple has invited press to an event titled “Pro and Tell” in Los Angeles on 28 October, announced by marketing chief Greg Joswiak on X. The headline launch is expected to be a new MacBook Pro with the company's first touchscreen, which is rumoured to be lighter, use M5 Pro and Max chips, and feature an OLED display with the Dynamic Island, at a higher price than current models. Apple may also introduce a new iPad Mini, an updated iMac and a refresh of the entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro. It would be Apple's third launch in two months, following the early-September iPhone event and last week's Welcome Home event, and comes as CEO John Ternus reportedly pushes for faster new product launches.
- Could John Ternus' hardware background launch a new era for Apple?
Apple will report fiscal fourth-quarter results after Monday's close, the first earnings call for John Ternus as CEO since succeeding Tim Cook. Adam Johnson, portfolio manager of the Bullseye American Ingenuity Fund, says Cook turned Apple into a predictable cash flow machine by monetizing its services business, now more than a third of revenue each year, through small recurring charges. He describes Ternus as a hardware executive, the opposite of Cook, and argues that recent launches such as a touchscreen MacBook and a new home product suggest a return to new hardware. Johnson also says a decline of more than 7% in the stock does not mean the story is over. The open question is whether Apple can keep launching new products while still generating high profits as it did under Cook.
- Apple Earnings Prediction Market Preview: What Will John Ternus Say?
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) reports fiscal fourth-quarter earnings Monday after the bell, days after overtaking Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) as the world's most valuable company. Analysts expect $1.99 per share on $113.4 billion in revenue.

- Gold Prices Surge on the Evening of November 2
Spot gold rose 2.3% to $3,963.80 per ounce on the evening of November 2, according to Kitco data, rebounding after a 3.6% drop on Friday to its lowest level since October 2025. Oil fell more than 6% as Iran and Qatar entered a third consecutive day of talks aimed at ending the conflict involving the US, Israel and Iran, easing inflation concerns and expectations of prolonged high US interest rates, while a weaker US dollar also supported gold. CME FedWatch put the odds of a Fed rate hike in December at 76.6%, down from 80% a week earlier. Gold's 14-day RSI rose to about 37 from below 30, which the article says means gold has moved out of technically oversold territory. Julius Baer analyst Carsten Menke said the outcome of the US midterm elections on November 3 is unlikely to significantly change the US fiscal outlook in a way that strongly affects gold prices.
- Amazon.com (AMZN) Secures $80 Billion For AI Buildout And Targets 75% Automation
Amazon has secured an US$80 billion supplier loan facility to fund large-scale AI infrastructure spending. The company is pursuing extensive robotics deployment across its fulfillment network, with an internal target to automate 75% of fulfillment operations. Management is pairing heavy AI capital expenditure with automation-focused cost control, while the business continues to report persistent negative free cash flow.

According to the article, Amazon's leadership said capex next year will be meaningfully higher than this year, when the company is slated to spend about $220 billion on AI infrastructure. JPMorgan, through analyst Doug Anmuth, estimates Amazon's capex will rise 77% year over year to $395 billion next year and reach $476 billion in 2028. The article says this spending level has made investors uneasy about returns on the investment, which is why many hyperscale stocks are being sold.
- ‘Marking Their Calendar Until November 3rd.’ Tom Lee Says Investors Waiting To Buy The Dip After The Nasdaq 100’s Worst Month Since March 2025
Fundstrat's Tom Lee says institutional investors will wait until after the November 3 midterm elections before committing new money, and stocks could fall a lot before then. The Invesco QQQ Trust fell 6.66% in October, its worst month since March 2025, and dropped 3.47% on October 30 when Intel plunged 28.58% after weaker fourth-quarter guidance despite third-quarter results that beat estimates. The 10-year Treasury yield was 4.94% on October 30, and CME FedWatch put the odds of a December rate hike at 72% as of October 31. The equal-weight S&P 500 ETF (RSP) slipped 0.79% while SPY fell 1.77%, showing the largest stocks took the hardest hit. The article stresses that concentration in a few top holdings means one earnings report can move an entire tech-heavy fund.
- How T7X Is Building the Infrastructure for a New Era of Capital Markets
The article presents T7X’s “native issuance” model, in which a token is part of the security’s authorized issuance from the start and a transfer agent maintains the official ownership record. Citing Pantera Capital research on 593 tokenized assets across 11 asset classes, it notes that 77.6% were “digital wrappers around traditional infrastructure” rather than securities in their own right. Wyoming law recognizes a “certificate token” that lets shares be represented on a blockchain, and T7X Equities serves as transfer agent for Tranquil Healthcare Fund I, a Tier 2 Regulation A+ offering of up to $75 million qualified by the SEC. The author argues that a token is only a real asset when its holder is recorded on the transfer agent’s books.
