Apple will report fiscal second-quarter 2026 results on Thursday, April 30, and host its investor call at 5:00 p.m. Eastern. (apple.com 1) (apple.com 2) The listing on Apple’s investor site says the call will cover second-quarter results and business updates. Apple is also hosting a live webcast on its earnings page. (apple.com 1) (apple.com 2) This report arrives 10 days after Apple said Tim Cook will become executive chairman on September 1, 2026, and John Ternus will become chief executive officer the same day. Apple said the board approved the transition unanimously. (apple.com) The earnings call is the first scheduled companywide financial update since that succession plan became public on April 20. That puts management commentary, not just the numbers, under heavier scrutiny than a routine quarter. (apple.com 1) (apple.com 2) Apple’s last reported quarter was a record one. For fiscal first quarter 2026, the company posted $143.8 billion in revenue, up 16% from a year earlier, and diluted earnings per share of $2.84, up 19%. (apple.com) That January report also showed iPhone revenue at $69.1 billion and Services revenue at $30.0 billion, both all-time highs for the company. Apple’s consolidated financial statements put Services gross margin far above Products gross margin in the quarter. (apple.com) (apple.com) Into Thursday’s print, S&P Global Market Intelligence said Visible Alpha consensus points to roughly $109.3 billion in fiscal second-quarter revenue. Its preview said expected second-quarter iPhone units had edged up to 60 million and Services revenue expectations were holding near $30 billion. (spglobal.com) That same preview said investors are watching whether iPhone demand is staying stable, whether China is improving, and what Apple says about Apple Intelligence and capital returns. It also noted Tim Cook’s planned September departure puts extra attention on the outlook for the back-to-school and holiday periods. (spglobal.com) Thursday’s release should answer the easy part first: the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and Apple will publish the numbers after the market closes. The harder part will be whether Apple offers enough detail on demand, margins and leadership continuity to settle investors heading into September. (apple.com) (apple.com)
