Apple to announce Q2 fiscal results later today

Last week it was a new CEO. This week for Apple, it’s probably going to be the usual quarterly report of record revenues and profits.

On Thursday afternoon, Apple will announce the results of its second fiscal quarter for 2026. Last quarter was an all-time record, but that was the holiday quarter, which is usually Apple’s biggest. This quarter will be smaller, but Apple projected that revenue would grow by 13% to 16%. That means Apple expected this quarter’s revenue to be between $108B and $111B. This would mark only the second time—after last year’s fiscal fourth quarter—that the company surpassed $100B in revenue in a non-holiday quarter. It’s a sign that maybe $100B quarters are… just routine for Apple now? Astounding.

As usual, Six Colors will be here to report on the whole thing. Around 1:30 pm PDT, the company will release its financial reports and we’ll be on the scene with a load of charts and some analysis. At 2pm PDT, there will be an hour-long phone call with analysts that we’ll also transcribe. At 4pm PDT, Dan and I will stream live on YouTube with analysis, including discussion of all of those charts!

This should be an interesting one, in terms of how Apple characterizes the CEO transition, what it might say about early sales of the MacBook Neo, and the lingering concern that RAM shortages are going to impact Apple’s sales and bottom line. And of course, Wall Street will be closely awaiting Apple’s projections for how Q3 will go.
