Morning Brief · November 1st 2026

Apple reports Monday, its first quarter under John Ternus, in a week with AMD, Arm and the midterms

Apple reports after Monday's close, with analysts looking for about $1.98 a share on $113.3 billion of revenue, up 11%. Palantir reports the same evening, AMD on Tuesday (expected revenue $13.1 billion, up 42%), Qualcomm, Arm and AppLovin on Wednesday and Cloudflare on Thursday, around Tuesday's midterm elections and Friday's jobs report. Investors arrive after the Nasdaq's worst month since March 2025.

Ternus told Wired's Steven Levy, in an interview TechCrunch summarized on Saturday, that Apple is "absolutely going to leverage AI" in new products but does not "want to ship AI for AI's sake." AMD's call is the next read on whether AI accelerator demand survives the capex doubts that hit Alphabet and Amazon last week. SourcesBB
