Apple reports record Q4 revenue but warns of margin pressure and slowing services growth.

Apple Inc. posted a record fiscal Q4 revenue of $114.48 billion and GAAP EPS of $2.10, signaling strong sales. However, the company expects gross margins to decline to 45-46%, which could limit operating income and EPS growth. Additionally, growth in its high-margin services segment slowed to 9.8%, the weakest in three years, raising concerns about future profitability. Despite the strong revenue, the stock is considered overvalued at a 37.7x P/E ratio, leading to a Sell rating from the analyst due to flat operating income and slowing services growth.

Apple shares are trading at USD 330.16 on Pluang as of Nov 03, 2026 22:32 WIB, down 2.41% for the day. Despite the record fiscal Q4 revenue reported, the stock faces pressure possibly due to concerns over slowing services growth and margin declines. The platform shows a balanced investor sentiment with 52% Sell and 48% Buy orders, reflecting mixed views on Apple's near-term prospects.
