Apple on Thursday evening reported a strong quarter to wrap up a busy week of megacap earnings. Clearly, CEO Tim Cook's decision to announce his upcoming departure ahead of the release was a move to ensure that news would not overshadow the incredible results. Revenue in Apple's fiscal 2026 second quarter ended March 31 increased 17% to $111.2 billion, well ahead of the $109.7 billion expected, according to LSEG. Earnings per share jumped 22% to $2.01, ahead of estimates of $1.95, according to LSEG. AAPL 1Y mountain Apple 1 year performance In fact, it was the best March quarter in company history, and Apple stock jumped 4% in after-hours trading to around $282.

Better yet, earnings growth outpaced revenue growth as the company was able to expand profit margins for both products and services to a level above what the Street was looking for. Apple, once again, achieved an all-time high installed base of active devices — over 2.5 billion — across all product categories and geographic segments. That's crucial because — while we are still waiting to hear more about Apple's Siri AI initiative, and Cook did affirm on the call that "a more personalized Siri" will indeed be coming this year — the opportunity for Apple to officially enter the generative/agentic AI race is as strong as ever. Apple has chosen Google as its AI partner. Cook also said, "We're happy with the work that we're doing independently as well." While Services punches way above its weight class for earnings, thanks to a gross margin profile that is nearly double that of the products category, it's the installed base of active ...
