Apple will announce its fourth quarter financial report, with iPhone 18 Pro sales as the focus

According to a report by Financial Associated Press, Apple Inc. will announce its fourth quarter financial report for the fiscal year 2026, ending in September, after the U.S. stock market closes on Monday. Investors will observe the early sales performance of the iPhone 18 Pro based on this report. At the fall launch event on September 10, Apple officially released the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, with starting prices of 9,999 yuan and 10,999 yuan, respectively. The two models began pre-orders on September 12 and officially went on sale on September 18.

Apple's first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, will start pre-orders on October 16 and officially go on sale on October 23, so it will not be included in the fourth quarter performance. However, the company may still disclose related demand information in the financial report. The conference call following this financial report will also be the first earnings call for the new CEO John Turnas after succeeding Tim Cook.

According to a consensus of analysts compiled by the media, Apple's fourth quarter earnings per share are expected to be $2, with revenue expected to be $113.46 billion; in the same period last year, earnings per share were $1.85, and revenue was $102.46 billion. iPhone sales are expected to be $56.48 billion, a year-on-year increase of 15%; service revenue is expected to exceed $31.58 billion, Mac sales are expected to be $9.69 billion, and revenue from wearables and iPads is expected to be $8.99 billion and $6.83 billion, respectively. Last Friday, Apple regained its position as the world's most valuable company, with a market capitalization of $5.03 trillion, while Nvidia's closing market capitalization was $4.93 trillion.
