Apple reports its fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 results on November 2, and the earnings call carries extra weight: it's the company's first under new CEO John Ternus, per AppleInsider.

The quarter covers the launch window for Apple's fall hardware lineup, making iPhone demand the headline number analysts will scrutinize. AppleInsider's preview walks through what happened during the quarter, what to expect from the results, and where analyst projections sit heading into the report.

Beyond the raw numbers, investors will be listening for tone. A leadership transition at a company of Apple's scale invites questions about continuity in capital returns, product strategy and guidance philosophy — and Ternus's first earnings call as chief executive is the market's earliest chance to take his measure. Results and the analyst call follow Monday after the closing bell.
