Turner's first earnings call… Apple to release Q4 earnings

Apple will report fiscal 2026 fourth-quarter results on October 2, with CEO John Ternus presiding over his first earnings call since succeeding Tim Cook on September 1. Cook has moved to executive chairman of the board, a succession plan the board approved unanimously when announced in April. Ternus, who joined Apple's product design team in 2001 and previously served as senior vice president of hardware engineering, faces his first public test with investors on the call. The quarter being reported covers the September period that has already ended, while holiday-quarter sales will fall into fiscal 2027's first quarter, which began September 27. Watch for guidance on the holiday quarter and any early strategic signals from Ternus on product and capital allocation priorities.
