Previewing Apple’s 1Q26 Earnings: Wall Street Is on Edge

Hello everyone.

Monday doubled as snowstorm cleanup day here in Connecticut. We received a little bit north of 16 inches, the most in about a decade. It certainly felt more during cleanup.

For today’s update, we will begin previewing Apple’s 1Q26 earnings which will be released on Thursday. The discussion will roll into tomorrow's update as well.


Previewing Apple’s 1Q26 Earnings: Wall Street Is on Edge

We are witnessing one of the largest divergences heading into an Apple earnings release in recent memory.

The company’s business fundamentals continue to improve. The company is going to report an all-time quarterly record on a few fronts on Thursday. Thanks to strong device sales trends and robust Services performance, revenue growth is trending 3x stronger than what it was last year at this time.

Set against these improving trends, Wall Street’s attitude and feelings toward Apple has turned negative over the past two months.
