WORLDTECHApple posts record fourth-quarter revenue of $114.5 billion, up 12%
Apple has reported its results for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2026, posting $114.5 billion in revenue and $30.71 billion in net profit, according to 9to5Mac. The figures exceed the range the company had projected for the quarter.
Revenue and profit against last year
For the quarter, Apple recorded $114.5 billion in revenue, up 12% on the $102.47 billion it reported for the same fiscal quarter a year earlier. Net profit for the quarter came to $30.71 billion, compared with $27.47 billion a year earlier, and earnings per share were $1.85 in the prior-year quarter.
9to5Mac describes the result as a record fourth-quarter revenue figure, and reports that it closed a fiscal year in which Apple's annual revenue totalled $478.8 billion.
Result compared with the company's guidance
Apple had expected revenue for the quarter to grow between 9% and 11% year on year. That guidance implied revenue of roughly $111.69 billion to $113.74 billion, so the reported $114.5 billion sits above the top of that range.
