Apple Stock (AAPL) Earnings Preview: Analysts Anticipate Growth Amid AI Push
Apple Inc. prepares to report fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 results on October 30, with Wall Street forecasting an 8.5% earnings increase to $1.78 per share and 7.6% revenue growth to $102.17 billion. The tech giant's consistent outperformance—beating estimates for eight consecutive quarters—reflects resilient iPhone demand and strategic artificial intelligence investments.
Gross margins face pressure from $1.1 billion in tariff impacts, projected at 46-47%. Services revenue remains a bright spot, buoyed by subscriptions across Apple TV+, News+, and bundled offerings. Analyst sentiment remains divided on long-term prospects as J.P. Morgan and peers weigh in ahead of earnings.
