Apple is scheduled to report fiscal fourth-quarter 2026 results after the U.S. market closes on Monday, with its conference call at 5 p.m. ET and investors awaiting the first outlook under CEO John Ternus. Wall Street expects revenue of about $113.4 billion, annual growth of roughly 10.7%, and earnings of $1.98 to $1.99 per share. Investors will focus on early demand for the iPhone 18 lineup and the foldable iPhone Duo, as well as memory-chip costs that could pressure margins. The holiday-quarter forecast carries extra weight as Apple enters its key shopping season, and its previous gross margin outlook was 47% to 48%. Questions are also expected on Apple's AI plans and how Ternus will incorporate AI into its products.

- Apple's new CEO faces earnings test as rising chip costs cloud outlook
Apple reports quarterly results on Monday evening, the first since John Ternus replaced Tim Cook as CEO in September. According to LSEG estimates reported by Reuters, revenue is expected to rise nearly 11% to $113.39 billion and net profit about 6% to $29.04 billion. iPhone revenue is forecast to grow about 15% to $56.54 billion, slowing from roughly 22% in the previous three months, while services revenue may rise almost 10% to $31.56 billion, its slowest pace in more than three years. Investors will watch Christmas-quarter guidance, sales of the iPhone Duo foldable (on sale from 23 October, after the reporting period, starting at $1,999 in the US) and rising memory-chip costs, with TechInsights estimating memory and storage in the iPhone 18 Pro at about $196, versus roughly $52 in the iPhone 17 Pro.
- Apple Has a Costly Problem Ahead of Earnings as Memory Prices Surge
Apple faces its first major earnings test under CEO John Ternus, who replaced Tim Cook in September, as expensive memory chips threaten to squeeze profitability during a busy product cycle. Analysts expect rising memory costs to slow quarterly earnings growth to its weakest pace in six quarters. For the July-to-September quarter, Wall Street projects revenue of $113.39 billion, nearly 11% annual growth, and net income of $29.04 billion, up 6%. iPhone revenue could rise 15% to $56.54 billion, while services sales may advance 10% to $31.56 billion. Ternus will also face questions on AI strategy and planned Siri improvements, and Apple shares have risen 27% this year as investors favored its measured spending on AI infrastructure.
- Apple And Palantir To Kick Off Tech Earnings In Another Crucial Week, AMD To Settle Chip Debate After Intel's Warning
Investors are heading into a key earnings week after last week's sharp selloff following weak reports from Alphabet, Intel and Amazon. Apple and Palantir report on Nov. 2 after the close, with Apple's revenue expected to rise 11% to $113.35 billion, its slowest growth in four quarters, and Palantir's Q3 revenue expected to rise 85% to $2.18 billion, with adjusted profit seen up 94% to $0.41 per share. AMD reports on Nov. 3, and its results will help determine whether Intel's weakness is company-specific or reflects a broader problem in the chip market, with Q3 revenue expected to rise 42% to $13.01 billion. Snap reports on Nov. 4 with revenue expected to rise 15% to $1.73 billion, after Alphabet and Reddit gave mixed signals on the ad market.
- Apple Q4 Earnings: Holiday Sales Outlook, iPhone Duo Demand And Memory Costs Take Center Stage In First Report Under New CEO
Apple's fiscal fourth-quarter report, due after Monday's close, is the first under new CEO John Ternus, with investors focused on holiday sales outlook, demand for the iPhone Duo and rising memory costs. Revenue is expected to rise 11% to $113.35 billion, the slowest growth in the past four quarters, while adjusted profit is seen up 8% to $1.99 per share, according to Koyfin. LSEG-Reuters estimates iPhone sales will climb about 15% to $56.54 billion, while services are expected to grow almost 10% to $31.56 billion, the slowest pace in over three years. Morningstar sees AAPL as moderately overvalued and will watch December-quarter iPhone revenue guidance and the impact of memory costs on unit prices. Bank of America removed Apple from its 'US 1 List' last week, and per Koyfin, 24 of 43 analysts rate AAPL 'Buy' or higher, 13 'Hold' and six 'Sell' or lower.
- Apple's Biggest Threat Isn't Android — It's AAPL's Own Devices, Analyst Says Ahead Of Q4 Earnings
Craig Moffett of MoffettNathanson warns Apple's valuation, about 36 times forward earnings, leaves little room for disappointment ahead of its fiscal Q4 report on Monday. With an earnings yield of about 2.8%, roughly half the Treasury yield, and shares up about 27% this year, investors may have priced in too much safety. His bigger concern is that higher memory costs have lifted base device prices by about $100 and carriers have not offset them with promotions, so consumers may delay upgrades. Wall Street expects EPS of $1.98 on revenue of $113.25 billion. Deepwater's Gene Munster forecasts 20 million iPhone Duo units in FY27, versus the Street's roughly 12 million.

- Beta Technologies Beat Archer and Joby to an FAA First. Here's Why I'd Still Rather Own Archer.
Beta Technologies became the first eVTOL developer to secure FAA authorization for demonstration flights with potential customers on board, receiving an airworthiness certificate for market surveys on Oct. 21. The certificate does not allow carrying fare-paying passengers, and Beta focuses on cargo and medical supply transport while building a charging network. The author still prefers Archer Aviation because Archer plans both to manufacture aircraft and run its own air taxi service, while Beta mainly aims to sell aircraft, batteries, charging equipment and propulsion systems. He cites a 2021 Morgan Stanley estimate that eVTOL passenger transport could reach a $3.7 trillion market by 2050. He says both companies could succeed in the industry.
- Morning Minute: Binance Hack Leads to Mass Outflows While FBI Opens Probe
Binance suffered a hack that drained roughly $6.4 billion from hot wallets across about 10 blockchains, an attack attributed to the North Korea-linked group TraderTraitor. After reopening withdrawals, Binance has seen $3.64 billion in net outflows, according to QCP. Bitcoin ETFs saw $643 million in outflows on Friday, flipping October to -$515.9 million, while ETH ETFs posted -$1.61 billion for the month. Binance says it has set aside more than $6.34 billion to cover losses, and the FBI and Secret Service have opened probes.

- AI agent disputes head to 'Internet Court' — and a jury of AI agents
GenLayer, an open delegated proof-of-stake network of validators connected to AI models, currently processes around 12,000 decisions per day in beta, with mainnet expected next month. Internet Court is a protocol that lets agents and humans sign contracts, with funds held in escrow until the terms are judged to have been met. A dispute is first judged by a randomly selected jury of five validators, each running a different AI model, and can be appealed to juries of 11, 23 and more, with finality typically within 30 minutes. The team argues that using many AI models rather than one reduces the bias of any single system, and the court's consortium has 35 members including ZKsync, NEAR, Consensys and UMA. GenLayer is used by Collective Memory to assess user-uploaded photos and by Argue.fun to resolve arguments.
- The Biggest Crypto Hack in History Just Happened. Here's What the $6.3 Billion Breach Means for the Crypto Market.
Binance said on Oct. 29 that hackers had stolen about $6.3 billion, which the article describes as the biggest crypto hack in history. After the announcement, Bitcoin fell 5.6% within 24 hours and BNB dropped 6.2%. Binance had a rainy-day fund worth around $1 billion and has set aside more than $6.3 billion of its own capital to restore affected customer balances, so direct losses appear covered. Tether froze more than $1.5 billion of USDT and Circle froze $800 million of USDC tied to the theft, and the article says the major blockchains themselves were not breached. More than $3.3 billion was lost to hacks and scams in 2025, and more than $8.7 billion has been lost in 2026 so far.
