Apple CEO John Ternus said total company revenue set records for the September quarter and the full fiscal year. iPhone revenue reached $57.6 billion, up 17% from a year earlier despite supply constraints and foreign exchange headwinds, marking a September-quarter record and the company's best fiscal year ever for iPhone. Services, Apple's second-largest segment, posted an all-time record in the quarter and closed out its best year ever. Apple grew in most of the markets it tracks, setting September-quarter records in the Americas, Europe, Greater China and the rest of Asia Pacific, along with an all-time record in India, and it also set a record for upgraders worldwide.

- Apple posts stronger-than-expected Q4 revenue in first earnings report for new CEO John Ternus
Apple reported fiscal fourth-quarter revenue above expectations, giving new CEO John Ternus, whose tenure began in September, a positive start, while several tech peers including Alphabet, Amazon and Intel posted disappointing results. The company earned $30.71 billion, or $2.10 per share, in the July–September period, up 12% from $27.47 billion, or $1.85 per share, a year earlier, including 5 cents per share from tariff refunds. Revenue rose 12% to $114.5 billion from $102.5 billion, beating analysts' average forecast of $1.99 per share on $113.4 billion in revenue, according to FactSet. Emarketer analyst Jacob Bourne said record iPhone revenue and strong growth in China show the resilience of Apple's business, and that its cautious approach to AI infrastructure spending helps preserve cash flow, while partnerships with Alphabet could strengthen its AI capabilities without the same financial risks as peers. Shares were flat in after-hours trading, after closing down 1.8% at $338.32 in regular trading.
- Apple to report Q4 earnings Monday, with iPhone 18 sales in the spotlight

Analysts polled by Bloomberg expect EPS of $2 on revenue of $113.46 billion, versus EPS of $1.85 and revenue of $102.46 billion a year earlier, with iPhone sales projected at $56.48 billion, up 15% year over year. It will be the first earnings call under new CEO John Ternus, who took over from Tim Cook. Apple shares are up roughly 30% over the past 12 months, and its market cap passed $5 trillion earlier this month, a milestone only Nvidia has also reached.

Analysts expect Apple to report EPS of $2 and revenue of $113.46 billion, according to Bloomberg consensus, versus EPS of $1.85 and revenue of $102.46 billion a year earlier. iPhone sales are projected at $56.48 billion, up 15% year over year, with Services above $31.58 billion, Mac at $9.69 billion, Wearables at $8.99 billion and iPad at $6.83 billion.
- Should Apple (AAPL) Stock Worry About Ternus’ First Call And Rising Chip Costs?
Apple held its first earnings call under new CEO John Ternus, following early launches of the iPhone 18 and iPhone 18 Pro. Management pointed to early iPhone 18 Pro demand but flagged rising memory chip costs linked to AI hardware demand as a margin headwind. Ternus outlined a hardware-focused vision centred on component sourcing, device performance and product mix. The article argues the key question is whether Apple can keep demand for higher-priced, more AI-capable hardware while managing memory cost increases, and that a hardware-led strategy could force a choice between defending unit volumes with promotions or protecting gross margin.

- Nvidia Reports Nov. 17. History Says What Its Stock Usually Does Next.
Nvidia will report results for its fiscal third quarter of 2027 after the close on Nov. 17, with shares near $205, about 14% below their Oct. 6 closing high of $239.24. Revenue beat the top of management's forecast range in each of the past 10 reports, yet the stock fell the next trading day after six of them, with the largest drop about 8.5% in February 2025. Most of those declines were recovered by the next report roughly three months later, though the roughly 9% gain after the August report has since faded to about 10% below its post-report close. Nvidia guides for third-quarter revenue of $108.0 billion, plus or minus 2%. The author concludes history is not a strong reason to avoid the stock before the report, leaning toward buying before Nov. 17 rather than guessing the next day's move, with shares trading at about 14 times the consensus fiscal 2028 EPS estimate of $15.80.

- Palantir's U.S. Revenue Soars 119% as Commercial Revenue Surpasses Government Revenue for the First Time. Here's Why Its Growth Is Still Surging, Even as Other AI Stocks Falter

- Apple beats sales and profit expectations but AI costs weigh on holiday sales
Apple beat analysts' expectations with record revenue for the July–September quarter, driven by iPhone and services sales, but higher AI-related costs will weigh on margins. CEO John Ternus, who succeeded Tim Cook in September, said the company is closing the year with its most ambitious lineup and hinted at a strong holiday season, including the foldable Duo. CFO Kevan Parekh guided gross margin to 45% to 46%, down from 47.9% in the September quarter, citing higher memory costs and costs tied to ramping Siri AI, which uses Google's Gemini model. Analysts had expected Apple to spend about $11 billion over the 12 months to September, a fraction of the more than $700 billion that Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon and Meta are on track to spend this year. Parekh said AI gives customers a compelling reason to upgrade.
- Alphabet Lost $500 Billion in Market Value. Should You Really Buy AI Stocks Now?
Alphabet shares fell 13% in one session, their worst trading day ever, after parts of its earnings report disappointed investors and wiped out about $500 billion in market value. The concern centers on AI infrastructure spending: Alphabet kept its capex forecast unchanged at $195 billion to $205 billion, and free cash flow came in at negative $9 billion versus analysts' estimate of $2.7 billion. Google ads still accounted for 64% of total revenue, while the cloud business posted a record 103% revenue gain to more than $30 billion. Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft and Meta together aim to spend more than $700 billion this year on infrastructure. The author argues that for most investors, the recent decline is a chance to buy at an attractive price, though more volatility could follow.
