The company beat analyst estimates in 100% of the last 4 quarters.
The average share price change on the day after earnings release is 4.06% — regardless of direction. The largest move was 6.11%. This number says more about the risk of holding a position through an earnings report than the earnings forecast itself.

How much this company's stock moves after earnings

Analyst forecasts for upcoming periods
The consensus is the average of many analysts' forecasts. The more analysts behind a number, the less likely it is to be a single error—but forecast agreement is never a guarantee of the actual result.
| Period | EPS estimate | EPS a year ago | Change | Revenue forecast | Analysts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current quarter | 2.05 | 1.78 | +15.06% | $26.45 bn | 31 |
| Next quarter | 2.67 | 2.44 | +9.53% | $31.84 bn | 31 |
| Current year | 10.24 | 7.57 | +35.27% | $110.19 bn | 36 |
| Next year | 9.55 | 10.24 | -6.78% | $113.83 bn | 36 |
Revenue and margins quarter by quarter
Margin shows how much of sales a company retains. Rising revenue with shrinking margins means growth is coming at the expense of profitability—and that's usually more interesting than sales growth alone.
| Quarter | Revenue | Gross margin | Operating margin | Net margin |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| July 31, 2026 | $26.54 bn | 33.67% | 9.65% | 7.07% |
| April 30, 2026 | $25.44 bn | 29.01% | 4.46% | 3.07% |
| January 31, 2026 | $30.45 bn | 26.63% | 4.53% | 3.43% |
| October 31, 2025 | $25.27 bn | 28.23% | 3.75% | 2.73% |
| July 31, 2025 | $25.21 bn | 28.99% | 5.22% | 3.71% |
