Apple fiscal Q4 earnings test memory costs against record valuation
  • Apple reports fiscal Q4 results after the close on Monday, Nov. 2; analysts expect about $1.99 adjusted EPS on roughly $113.4B revenue.
  • Apple guided to a 47%-48% September-quarter gross margin, which implies 46.5% excluding tariff refunds as memory costs climb.
  • Apple trades at 38x forward earnings, the top of its five-year range, and closed at a record $348.91 on Thursday.
  • South Korea fined Apple 20.8 billion won over in-app payment limits and ordered App Store changes; Apple disputes the ruling.
  • The December-quarter gross margin guide is the key metric because Apple's component stockpile benefit fades after September.
