Apple reports earnings and revenue beat, boosted by services business

Apple said iPhone demand and services revenue lifted quarterly results, while warning that chip shortages and rising memory costs will pressure margins.

  • Apple reported fiscal second-quarter revenue of $111.2 billion today, beating Wall Street expectations with diluted earnings per share of $2.01 versus the forecast $1.95.
  • These results arrive as Apple prepares for a leadership transition, with Apple CEO Tim Cook becoming executive chairman on September 1, 2026, and CEO John Ternus succeeding him.
  • IPhone sales surged 22% to a record $57.99 billion, while Services revenue increased 16.3% to $30.98 billion, beating Wall Street expectations of $30.4 billion.
  • Demand for the company's refreshed hardware lineup bolstered results, including the new iPhone 17e, M4-powered iPad Air in 11- and 13-inch sizes, and the $599 MacBook Neo.
  • Defining Apple's artificial intelligence strategy remains critical for Ternus, who will lead the company following a partnership with Google to integrate its Gemini model into Siri.
