Apple reports first quarter results

All-time records for total company revenue and EPS

iPhone and Services revenue reach new all-time highs

Apple® today announced financial results for its fiscal 2026 first quarter ended December 27, 2025. The Company posted quarterly revenue of $143.8 billion, up 16 percent year over year. Diluted earnings per share was $2.84, up 19 percent year over year.

"Today, Apple is proud to report a remarkable, record-breaking quarter, with revenue of $143.8 billion, up 16 percent from a year ago and well above our expectations," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. "iPhone had its best-ever quarter driven by unprecedented demand, with all-time records across every geographic segment, and Services also achieved an all-time revenue record, up 14 percent from a year ago. We are also excited to announce that our installed base now has more than 2.5 billion active devices, which is a testament to incredible customer satisfaction for the very best products and services in the world."

"During the December quarter, our record business performance and strong margins led to EPS growth of 19 percent, setting a new all-time EPS record," said Kevan Parekh, Apple's CFO. "These exceptionally strong results generated nearly $54 billion in operating cash flow, allowing us to return almost $32 billion to shareholders."

Apple's board of directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.26 per share of the Company's common stock. The dividend is payable on February 12, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 9, 2026.
