- Apple closed fiscal 2026 with record annual revenue of 479 billion US dollars and double-digit earnings-per-share growth.
- Services revenue reached an all-time high while the active installed base set a new record across major product categories and regions.
- Management is taking a broad product lineup into the holiday season, including the iPhone Duo, iPhone 18 Pro and new home hardware.
Apple reported record September-quarter revenue and earnings per share on November 2, closing fiscal 2026 with its strongest year to date. In its quarterly results release, the company said revenue rose 12 percent year over year to 114.5 billion US dollars for the three months ended September 26.
Apple also reported diluted earnings per share of 2.10 US dollars, up 14 percent from a year earlier. Gross margin was 47.9 percent, with tariff refunds contributing approximately one percentage point, while the earnings-per-share figure included a 0.05 US dollar benefit from those refunds. The adjustments are material for investors assessing the underlying profitability of the quarter.
Record Demand Across Key Businesses
iPhone revenue reached a September-quarter record, and Services revenue set an all-time high. Apple said its active installed base also reached a new record across all major product categories and geographic segments, supporting the recurring revenue base and the company's customer-retention profile.
For the full fiscal year, revenue reached 479 billion US dollars, according to CEO John Ternus and CFO Kevan Parekh. Apple generated 28 billion US dollars in operating cash flow during the quarter and said it returned the same amount to shareholders, keeping capital returns central to the investment case.
Holiday Lineup Sets Next Test
Management is taking the iPhone Duo, iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max into the holiday period alongside new home hardware and the all-new Siri AI. The breadth of the lineup gives Apple several product and services levers for the season, although execution and customer uptake will determine how much of the record fiscal-year momentum carries into the next reporting period.
Apple's board declared a cash dividend of 0.27 US dollars per share. The payment is scheduled for November 16, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 12.
