Apple Reports After the Bell on Nov. 2 With Wall Street Looking for $113.39 Billion in Revenue

Apple reports fiscal fourth-quarter results after the close on Monday, Nov. 2, 2026. LSEG consensus calls for $1.99 in earnings per share and $113.39 billion in revenue, up about 11% from $102.5 billion a year earlier. iPhone sales are expected at $56.59 billion.

CNBC reported (2026-11-02): Analysts polled by LSEG expect Apple to report fiscal fourth-quarter earnings of $1.99 per share on revenue of $113.39 billion, about 11% above the $102.5 billion a year earlier, with iPhone revenue estimated at $56.59 billion; the call starts at 5 p.m. ET on Nov. 2.

CNBC reported (2026-11-02): Barclays kept an Underweight rating on Apple ahead of the report, citing iPhone uncertainty this cycle, limited monetization of AI and renewed fears about the App Store.

The iPhone line carries the quarter. The $56.59 billion estimate is the figure the Street will compare against when Apple reports, and the quarter holds only a few weeks of sales of the newest Pro models, according to the estimates framing.

Barclays is the sceptical voice going in. Its list of concerns, from iPhone demand this cycle to how much money Apple can make from AI, matches the questions the company is likely to face on its 5 p.m. ET call.

Watch next (2026-11-02): Apple fiscal fourth-quarter results and 5 p.m. ET call

Results against the $113.39 billion revenue and $1.99 EPS consensus will set the tone, but the guidance for the December quarter and any comment on iPhone demand may matter more to the stock. A weak iPhone figure would give the Barclays concerns more weight; a beat on iPhone would ease them.

Risk / Return Snapshot

Return, volatility and max drawdown for your current mix.

The estimated annual return is an illustrative assumption per stock, not a forecast. Volatility and max drawdown are historical: they come from the past 12 months of weekly closes for the mix you set (Alpaca market data, split-adjusted, price only, no dividends), rebalanced to your weights each week, so they reflect how the seven stocks moved together — not a prediction of future risk.

🔮 Growth Scenario Explorer
Which companies could be the next Mag7?

A simplified compounding model that projects today's Mag7 and the Mag 8–15 Watchlist forward in time. Pick a horizon and a growth scenario to see who'd lead the pack — and who'd get bumped out of the top 7.

Time Horizon
Growth Scenario

Projected Market Cap: Top 7 in 10 Years

A compounding model, not a forecast — see the notes below.

This is a simplified compounding model: each of the 15 companies (today's Mag7 plus the Mag 8–15 Watchlist) grows at an illustrative annualized rate for the first 3 years, then its gap above or below an assumed 6% long-run market growth rate shrinks by 13% a year (it halves about every five years), so faster growers keep a shrinking edge and the ranking can still change at 20 or 30 years. Starting values are each company's market cap at the Oct 22, 2026 close; the growth-rate assumptions are illustrative estimates, not forecasts, and the Conservative / Base Case / High Growth buttons scale them by 0.6×, 1× and 1.4×. Each projection keeps today's valuation multiple, so market value grows only as fast as the assumed growth. Real markets are far less predictable than any compounding formula; treat this as a thought experiment, not a forecast or investment advice.

Valuation & Rates

See what higher Treasury yields could do to each valuation, then dig into the valuation model.

📉 Rate-Shock Calculator
How much could a move in Treasury yields cost each stock?
10-yr: —

The 10-year Treasury yield is the benchmark for the discount rate investors apply to future profits; the tag above shows its latest reading from FRED. Pick a yield move and how much of it flows into investors' required return, and see the implied change in each company's valuation, holding earnings forecasts steady.

Company
+0.50 pts

Drag right for higher yields, left for lower. Moves are in steps of 0.25 percentage points.

50%

At 100%, the yield move hits investors' required return one-for-one. Lower values assume equity risk premiums absorb part of it.

Implied valuation change, all seven

Higher-multiple stocks move more for the same change in rates.

Simplified Gordon-growth illustration: price change ≈ 1 ÷ (1 + P/E × yield move × pass-through) − 1, holding each company's earnings and long-run growth constant. P/E figures come from the Analysis page (Nvidia uses forward P/E; Tesla uses a rough 90x estimate because its trailing multiple isn't meaningful). Market caps are static figures as of the Oct 22, 2026 close, not live prices. Real stocks respond to rates through earnings, sentiment and positioning too, so treat this as a thought experiment, not a forecast or investment advice.

Beyond the Hype

AI Analysis

Every AI angle on the Mag7 in one place — infrastructure spending, models, chips, regulation and robotics — pulled together and categorized from across this site.

💰 AI Capex Tracker
Exact billions guided for AI infrastructure this year
FY2026

Reflects each company's own latest earnings-call guidance where disclosed. Updates whenever new guidance is issued — currently as of each company's latest report: Meta (Oct 21), Microsoft and Alphabet (Oct 28) and Amazon (Oct 29). Ranges are plotted at their midpoint.

All four figures are the company's own guidance as reported. Microsoft's is for calendar 2026 (its fiscal year ends in June) and counts finance leases, as CFO Amy Hood defined it on the July 29 call; on the Oct 28 call she put it at about $170 billion, down from about $175 billion; Meta's includes principal payments on finance leases. Definitions differ slightly between companies, so compare them as approximate. Morgan Stanley now projects these four hyperscalers' combined capex jumping a further ~57% in 2027 versus 2026, funded partly through a wave of new AI-infrastructure debt issuance.
