Apple will kick off its 2026 earnings season on Thursday, January 29, when it shares results for fiscal Q1 2026 and then hosts its first earnings call of the year. You can listen live, and you can expect the discussion to focus on the holiday quarter, which often sets the tone for Apple’s year.
You will get two things that day: the earnings report (the numbers) and a live conference call where Apple’s executives walk through results and answer questions from analysts.

Apple lists the schedule on its official Investor Relations page and hosts the live audio stream on its earnings call page.
When Apple drops the earnings report
Apple releases its Q1 2026 financial results after the U.S. stock market closes on January 29. Expect the numbers first, then the call at the times listed above.

What you should watch in this report
This quarter covers the December holiday season, so the numbers usually draw extra attention. Here are the main areas investors and analysts will track:
- iPhone demand and mix
Watch how Apple describes iPhone performance across regions, and listen for any commentary on supply, promotions, and upgrade trends. - Services revenue and momentum
Services have become one of Apple’s biggest growth engines. Expect close attention on subscription performance and whether Apple signals steady expansion. - China performance
China has swung quarters in the past. If management addresses demand, competition, or consumer sentiment, that commentary will shape the headlines. - Margins and guidance tone
Even when revenue lands near expectations, investors often react to gross margin trends and how Apple frames the next quarter.
You can listen for free through Apple’s official earnings call stream. Apple also typically keeps a replay available for about two weeks after the event. We will publish full coverage of Apple’s earnings report and highlights from the call, so stay tuned.
