Predicted for 29. October 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
Apple's fiscal Q4 (July–September 2026) ends September 30, 2026; results are typically released on the last Thursday of October (historically Oct 26–31). Q4 FY2025 produced $94.93B. At 4–6% organic growth (consistent with Apple's six-quarter average) the corridor is $98.7–$100.6B. Drivers: iPhone 18 cycle presumably launched September 2026 (analogous to iPhone 17, Sep 2025), Services revenue growing ~12–15% YoY, Mac refresh with M6 chips (announcement by Oct 31, 2026 per an existing open prediction on this platform). The $99.0B threshold sits slightly below the midpoint of the growth corridor. No Polymarket market found; calibration based on Apple's historical beat rate (>80%) minus a risk discount for potential weak China macro demand: 62%.
Data basis for this prediction
- Apple Investor Relations Q4 FY2025: Gesamtumsatz $94,93 Mrd. (Veröffentlichung 30. Oktober 2025)
- Apple Earnings Calendar: Q4 FY2026 erwartet ca. 29. Oktober 2026 (Wall Street Horizon / Earning Whispers, Stand 2. Oktober 2026)
- Cassandra.news bestehende Vorhersage (offen): 'Apple stellt Mac-Gerät mit M6-Chip bis 31. Oktober 2026 offiziell vor' – stützt Q4-Umsatzerwartung
- Bloomberg Intelligence Apple Services-Wachstum: ~12–15 % YoY in H1 FY2026 – extrapoliert auf Q4 FY2026

Verdict: Miss
Apple hat den Q4-FY2026-Quartalsbericht explizit für den 2. November 2026 angesetzt – nicht ca. 29. Oktober 2026. Die Prediction verlangte eine Bestätigung durch Apple Investor Relations oder Bloomberg bis spätestens 30. Oktober 2026; diese Frist wurde nicht erfüllt, da zum Stichtag 31. Oktober 2026 noch kein Bericht vorliegt. Damit ist die Timing-Bedingung der Vorhersage eindeutig verfehlt. Zum Revenue-Ziel (>99 Mrd. USD): Die Analyst-Konsensschätzung liegt bei ~113 Mrd. USD, Apple selbst guidete +9–11 % YoY gegenüber Q4 FY2025 (~102,47 Mrd. USD), was den Schwellenwert von 99 Mrd. USD bei Weitem übertroffen hätte – das Revenue-Ziel wäre voraussichtlich erreicht worden, kann aber mangels Berichtsdatum nicht offiziell bestätigt werden.

Applied Materials has beaten the EPS consensus in all four of its last reported quarters, with an average earnings surprise of +3.5%. The company's own Q4 guidance is $3.82–$4.22 per share; consensus at $4.06 sits near the midpoint, reflecting classic conservative management framing. Revenue is estimated at $10.30B (+51% YoY) — TSMC and Samsung have not pulled back H2 2026 capex plans. No Polymarket market directly available; a 100% beat streak over 4 quarters with a positive guidance range implies 70–75% probability. Risk: supply chain delays or expanded US export controls on advanced chips could force a Q5 inventory build.

PLTR closed at $175.40 on November 4, 2026 (after-hours: $170.88, -2.58%; intraday high: $176.54; 52-week high: $212.94). Palantir clearly beat Q3-FY2026 EPS consensus: total revenue $2.313B, US Commercial revenue +148% YoY to $984M. The $185 threshold is +5.5% above the closing price or +8.3% above after-hours levels. Typical post-earnings 'sell the news' may weigh short-term, but the 52-week high of $212.94 confirms the level is reachable. NVIDIA earnings on November 18, 2026 could serve as a sector-wide catalyst. No direct Polymarket equivalent; own estimate: ~42%.

CBRS trades at $109.18 (October 30, 2026) — already 61% below its all-time high of $279.72. The final and largest lockup expiration is scheduled for November 10, 2026: approximately 19.4 million shares are unlocked (of three tranches of 19.4M each). Prior lockup tranches have consistently weighed on the stock. Insiders have sold ~$394.6M in shares since the May 2026 IPO — zero insider purchases. A Culper Research short-seller report has triggered multiple investigations. A close below $100 requires a ~8.4% decline — plausible given the expected supply pressure on expiration day.
