GoKawiilLater today, Apple will release its Q2 2026 earnings, where component shortages, the iPhone 17 line’s ongoing success, and low Mac availability are expected to play a bit part. Here’s how you can listen in live.
Component shortages and Mac performance expected to take the front seat
Half an hour after today’s closing bell, Apple will report its earnings for the second fiscal quarter of 2026, followed by a conference call where Apple CEO Tim Cook and CFO Kevan Parekh will discuss the results.
As in the previous quarter, the conversation will likely center on ongoing memory shortages, both in terms of how Apple navigated them last quarter and how it plans to handle them going forward.
The Mac is also likely to feature prominently in this quarter’s results, as the period includes the launch of the MacBook Neo, along with a surge in demand for Mac mini and Mac Studio models (amid the memory shortage), driven by users looking to run AI agents such as OpenClaw.
Over the past few weeks, multiple analyst reports have also pointed to Apple’s sustained good performance on iPhone sales, thanks to the success of the iPhone 17 line. Apple was also able to better navigate the memory shortage with the iPhone, as competitors such as Samsung had no choice but to raise prices for some devices in certain countries.
Apple’s conference call is scheduled to start at 2:00 p.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. ET, with the executives delivering prepared remarks before turning to analyst questions.
As usual, the call is set to be broadcast live, and you can listen in via this link.
