- This Will be John Ternus's First Earnings Call as CEO
John Ternus, described as the 'product guy,' will host his first earnings call as Apple CEO tonight, and all eyes will be on him.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Earnings Put New CEO John Ternus in Focus
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.
- 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.

- AppLovin Is the Worst-Performing Stock in the S&P 500 This Year. Has the Market Overreacted?
AppLovin (APP) shares are down 65% so far in 2026, the worst performance in the S&P 500 as of end-October, as fears that AI could disrupt its adtech business have weighed on the stock. Its fundamentals remain strong: first-half revenue rose 56% year over year to $3.8 billion with a 66% profit margin, and the company forecasts about $2.1 billion in revenue for the current quarter at an 83% adjusted margin. The author argues that the stock's high valuation earlier in the year may have been a major factor behind the decline. At 18 times trailing earnings versus about 24 for the average S&P 500 stock, the author believes the market may have overreacted and that the shares could be worth considering for investors comfortable with risk and volatility.

- Microsoft Copilot AI Predicts a Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) Explosion
The article presents a Microsoft Copilot AI forecast for Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) under an extreme and unlikely scenario in which the project signs a multi-year partnership with a major global entertainment and consumer brand, turning the PENGU token into a mainstream consumer brand. Technically, the token has been consolidating in the $0.0069–$0.0072 range, with resistance at $0.008–$0.009 and support at $0.0070–$0.0072 and $0.0060–$0.0065.

- Attorney Mark Lanier Calls for Social Media Companies to Make Meaningful Changes in Wake of Meta, Snap Settlements
Attorney Mark Lanier of The Lanier Law Firm is urging social media companies to make lasting changes after Meta and Snap reached settlements ahead of the second bellwether trial over alleged addictive design and mental health harm to young users. He argues that a permanent fix with real design changes is needed to protect children, and that trials will continue until then. The settlement terms were not disclosed, and the companies still face more than 1,600 claims from families and school districts. The next bellwether trials are set for March 2027 before Judge Carolyn B. Kuhl in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The first trial ended in March with a $6 million verdict against Meta and Google's YouTube, with plaintiffs framing platform design features, not user content, as defective products.
