Apple has announced financial results for its fiscal 2026 fourth quarter, which ended September 26, 2026. The company reported quarterly revenue of $114.5 billion, representing a 12% increase year over year.
According to company reports, Apple achieved several records during the September quarter:
Apple reported that the gross margin was 47.9 percent. This figure included a favorable impact of approximately one percentage point resulting from tariff refunds, following a Supreme Court decision that invalidated Trump’s tariffs. The diluted EPS also included a $0.05 favorable impact from these tariff refunds.
CEO John Ternus, who assumed the role on September 1, stated that the results were "capping off our best fiscal year ever." Ternus noted that the company is "closing the year with our most ambitious lineup yet," which includes the foldable iPhone Duo, the iPhone 18 Pro, and the iPhone 18 Pro Max. He also cited the introduction of new home hardware, the arrival of Touch to Mac, and the "all-new Siri AI."
CFO Kevan Parekh stated that the quarter saw record net income and EPS, contributing to an all-time record fiscal 2026 revenue of $479 billion. Parekh noted that the company generated $28 billion in operating cash flow during the quarter, which allowed for $28 billion to be returned to shareholders.
Apple's board of directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.27 per share of common stock. This dividend is scheduled to be payable on November 16, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 12, 2026.
Apple's fiscal 2026 fourth quarter saw growth across its primary revenue drivers, with both iPhone and Services reaching significant milestones. The company's ability to return $28 billion to shareholders was supported by record-high levels of customer loyalty and an expanding installed base of active devices across all major product categories.
