Earnings This Week (Nov 2-6, 2026): Apple, AMD, Palantir

This is the first full week of November, with 1,649 earnings reports on Nasdaq's calendar, from Apple on Monday to Moderna on Friday. It is also the week of the US midterm elections on Tuesday, November 3, and the October jobs report on Friday, November 6. And US clocks go back an hour on Sunday, November 1.

The mood going in is weak. Alphabet closed nearly 13% lower on Thursday after its growth missed forecasts (source: Investing.com, October 29, 2026), its worst drop on record (source: AP via La Nación, October 29, 2026). Bitcoin fell about 5% on BloFin that night. Circle, Block, Hut 8 and Riot now put crypto back in the earnings spotlight.

Which big companies report earnings this week?

Apple reports on Monday, November 2, after the US market closes, and Palantir reports the same evening. AMD, Supermicro and Block follow on Tuesday, November 3. Wednesday brings Circle, Hut 8 and Riot before the open, then Qualcomm and AppLovin after the close, with Arm the same evening. Moderna reports on Friday morning.

Nasdaq's calendar lists 1,649 US-listed stocks for November 2-6, and it counts each share class on its own (source: Nasdaq earnings calendar, Zacks consensus). Most are small companies, and Thursday alone has 618. By October 30, 60% of S&P 500 companies had reported (source: FactSet, October 30, 2026). Of those, 82% beat earnings forecasts and 70% beat revenue forecasts. FactSet put blended earnings growth for the quarter at 30.2%, with 140 more S&P 500 companies due to report this week. Apple is the only one of the seven biggest US tech companies reporting this week, and Nvidia does not report until November 17 (source: Nvidia, October 28, 2026). The October 2026 earnings season page has the full calendar.

This week's earnings schedule in ET and UTC

Each company sets its own date. The times below are for the conference call or webcast, which usually starts 30 minutes to two hours after the results come out. US daylight saving time ends on November 1, so US Eastern time (ET) is five hours behind UTC this week, not four as in October.

The last column is the Zacks consensus for earnings per share (EPS) on November 1 (source: Nasdaq earnings calendar, Zacks consensus). For Qualcomm, Block and Arm, the figure is the company's own forecast instead, because Zacks counts their earnings on a different basis.

The dates and times come from each company's own notice. For Monday and Tuesday, that means Cipher Digital (source: Cipher Digital), Vertex (source: Vertex), Apple, as reported by 9to5Mac (source: 9to5Mac, October 6, 2026), Booking Holdings (source: Booking Holdings), Astera Labs (source: Astera Labs), AMD (source: AMD), Supermicro (source: Supermicro, October 20, 2026) and Block (source: Block). From Wednesday to Friday, it means Circle (source: Circle), Riot (source: Riot), Hut 8 (source: Hut 8), Coherent (source: Coherent), Qualcomm (source: Qualcomm), AppLovin (source: AppLovin), IREN (source: IREN), Lumentum (source: Lumentum), Airbnb (source: Airbnb) and Moderna (source: Moderna). Palantir announced its date through Business Wire (source: Palantir via Yahoo Finance, October 12, 2026), and Arm on its newsroom (source: Arm, October 5, 2026). Arm's forecast range comes from Earnings Whispers (source: Earnings Whispers via Finviz, October 27, 2026).

Watch for three calendar traps. DoorDash moved its report forward to October 29, though some calendars still show November 4 (source: DoorDash, October 28, 2026). Berkshire Hathaway shows up on November 6, but its 2026 results have all come out on Saturdays (source: Berkshire Hathaway, 2026 news releases). And Supermicro already published early revenue figures on October 20, so its headline number is partly known.

What to expect from each report

For each company, the useful comparison is the forecast against what the company itself guided last quarter. Providers count EPS in different ways, so two consensus figures for the same company can sit far apart. How earnings season works sets out which lines of a results release to read first.

Apple on Monday

Apple's revenue rose 16% to $109.4 billion in its June quarter, and EPS was $2.02 (source: Apple, July 30, 2026). On the call, it guided for 9% to 11% revenue growth for the September quarter and a gross margin of 47% to 48% (source: Investing.com, Apple call transcript, July 30, 2026). Zacks expects EPS of $1.98, against $1.85 a year earlier. This is the first results call under John Ternus, who became chief executive on September 1. The Apple Q4 FY2026 earnings preview covers memory costs and how the stock moved after past reports. On BloFin, the AAPLUSDT Perpetual follows the stock.

Palantir and AMD

Palantir guided for third-quarter revenue of $2.160 billion to $2.164 billion, after growing 93% to $1.935 billion in the second quarter (source: Palantir, August 3, 2026). Earnings Whispers notes that the consensus of $2.17 billion already sits above the top of that range. It puts the consensus for adjusted EPS at $0.42, above the Zacks $0.33 (source: Earnings Whispers via Finviz, October 26, 2026).

AMD expects revenue of about $13 billion, give or take $300 million, with an adjusted gross margin of about 56%. Its data center revenue more than doubled to $6.7 billion last quarter (source: AMD, August 4, 2026). Earnings Whispers puts the consensus at $1.94 a share on $13.12 billion of revenue, well above the Zacks $1.68 (source: Earnings Whispers via Finviz, October 26, 2026). On BloFin, the PLTRUSDT Perpetual and AMDUSDT Perpetual follow both stocks.

Qualcomm, AppLovin and Supermicro

Qualcomm guided for revenue of $9.7 billion to $10.5 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.05 to $2.25 for its September quarter. It also warned of rising costs across chipmaking, packaging and memory (source: Qualcomm, July 29, 2026). Earnings Whispers says the company expects its Apple revenue to fall by about half from the September quarter to the December quarter (source: Earnings Whispers via Finviz, October 27, 2026). So the outlook may matter more than the quarter.

AppLovin guided for revenue of $2.055 billion to $2.085 billion (source: AppLovin, August 5, 2026). Last quarter it fell short of its own revenue and adjusted EBITDA targets for the first time, according to Earnings Whispers (source: Earnings Whispers via Finviz, October 27, 2026).

Supermicro said on October 20 that quarterly revenue would be $18.5 billion to $19.5 billion, far above its guide of $14.5 billion to $15.5 billion (source: Supermicro, October 20, 2026). Earnings Whispers still showed a consensus of about $15.77 billion (source: Earnings Whispers via Finviz, October 26, 2026). The real test is profit and the next quarter's guide.

Circle, Block and the bitcoin miners

Eight crypto-linked companies report this week. Besides Circle, Block, Hut 8 and Riot, Cipher Digital reports on Monday, Core Scientific and IREN on Thursday, and TeraWulf on Friday. USDC in circulation reached $73.3 billion at the end of June, up 19% on a year earlier, and Circle's revenue and reserve income rose 7% to $701 million (source: Circle, August 5, 2026). Circle earns most of its money on the reserves behind USDC, so interest rates drive its results. Earnings Whispers notes that its reserve return rate slid from 4.15% to 3.48% over three quarters (source: Earnings Whispers via Finviz, October 27, 2026). The CRCLUSDT Perpetual follows Circle on BloFin.

Block's bitcoin gross profit fell 31% to $72 million last quarter after it cut some Cash App fees. It guided for adjusted EPS of $1.02 this quarter (source: Block, August 5, 2026). Hut 8 lost $177.1 million in the second quarter, including $138.6 million of mostly unrealized losses on its digital assets (source: Hut 8, August 4, 2026). Riot gives no formal guidance, and analysts expect a loss of $0.24 a share (source: Earnings Whispers via Finviz, October 27, 2026).

How these stocks moved after their last report

Eight of these ten stocks moved more than 7% the day after their last report, in both directions. Palantir's perpetual jumped 29.2% after its August report, while Astera Labs fell 11.7% and AMD 8.3% (source: BloFin perpetual price data). Circle ended almost flat, though it traded as much as 9.0% higher and 6.2% lower along the way.

The table measures each perpetual from the 4PM ET close on report day to 4PM ET a day later, on hourly closes (source: BloFin perpetual price data). Circle reported before the open, so its window starts at the previous day's close. Supermicro's row uses its October 20 early revenue release, because its perpetual was not listed for its August report.

Bitcoin barely moved in most of these windows, so the swings came from the reports themselves. Even Circle, the most crypto-linked name here, ended flat while bitcoin rose 1.0%. Ten nights are too few to call a pattern, so treat these as the size of moves that have happened, not a forecast.

If you want to follow these reactions on BloFin, the PLTRUSDT, AMDUSDT and CRCLUSDT perpetuals track Palantir, AMD and Circle around their reports.

What else moves markets this week

US midterm elections are on Tuesday, November 3. The October employment report comes out on Friday at 8.30AM ET, or 1.30PM UTC. It is the first jobs report since the Federal Reserve held rates on October 28 in a split vote.

The Fed kept its target range at 3.75% to 4%, but two members, Lisa Cook and Beth Hammack, voted for a quarter-point hike (source: Federal Reserve, October 28, 2026). That makes Friday's payroll data a bigger test for rates than usual. The Bank of England also decides on Thursday, with its Bank Rate at 3.75% (source: Bank of England).

Here are the US data dates that matter for rates:

The employment, JOLTS and productivity times come from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (source: BLS). The trade balance comes from the US Bureau of Economic Analysis (source: BEA), and consumer sentiment from the University of Michigan (source: University of Michigan). The two ISM surveys appear on a week-ahead list from a research firm (source: Schaeffer's Research via Finviz, October 29, 2026). ISM publishes both surveys at 10AM ET, manufacturing on the first business day of the month and services on the third.

Last week was strong for the indexes until Thursday, when the Nasdaq fell 1.4% as Alphabet dropped (source: AP via La Nación, October 29, 2026). Friday was worse. The S&P 500 fell 1.8%, its worst day since June, and Intel sank almost 29% after a weak profit forecast (source: AP via La Nación, October 30, 2026). For the week, the S&P 500 lost 0.6%, the Nasdaq 2% and the Dow 0.9%. Microsoft beat forecasts but closed 0.2% lower the next day, as the Microsoft Q1 FY2027 earnings preview explains. Amazon missed on EPS and fell 7.3% in after-hours trading, then closed 1.4% lower on Friday (source: Yahoo Finance, Amazon price history), as covered in the Amazon Q3 2026 earnings preview.

Coinbase earned an adjusted $0.28 a share against a forecast loss of $0.16, while its reported profit of $719 million came almost entirely from $715 million of gains on the crypto it holds (source: Earnings Whispers via Finviz, October 29, 2026). On BloFin, the BTCUSDT Perpetual fell from about $80,800 at 4PM ET on Thursday to $76,800 six hours later (source: BloFin BTCUSDT price data). The weekly roundup for October 26-30 covers those reports.

Trading this week's reports on BloFin

BloFin lists perpetuals on Apple, Palantir, AMD, Supermicro, Astera Labs, Circle, Hut 8, Qualcomm, AppLovin, Arm, Coherent, IREN, Lumentum and Moderna, all reporting this week, and on McDonald's, which Zacks expects on Wednesday morning. Tokenized Apple, Circle and McDonald's also trade on spot. The full list is in the TradFi assets you can trade on BloFin, and copy trading covers Apple, AMD, Circle, Hut 8, IREN, Lumentum and Moderna.

New perpetual positions follow US regular hours. That is 9.30AM to 4PM ET, or 2.30PM to 9PM UTC this week. Outside those hours, you may only be able to close or cut a position, not open one (source: BloFin, stock futures trading hours). The guide to AMD perpetual trading hours shows how those reduce-only windows work for one stock. Most of this week's reports come after the close. Among BloFin-listed names, Circle, Hut 8, McDonald's and Moderna are the morning exceptions, and they report before trading opens. So decide before the close whether to hold through a report.

Size for a move like the 7% to 29% swings after the last reports. Say you hold a 4,000 USDT long on the AMD perpetual at 8x leverage, backed by 500 USDT of margin, into Tuesday's report. A repeat of August's 8.3% drop would cost about 330 USDT by the next day's close. That is two-thirds of your margin. The guide to how liquidation works explains how a leveraged position can be closed out partway through a move like that. Trading news volatility covers when sitting a report out is the better plan.

Nothing in this article constitutes financial advice, and nothing in it is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any stock, crypto asset or other instrument. Most of this week's reports on BloFin-listed stocks arrive outside US regular hours, when a stock perpetual may be limited to reduce-only orders. A position held through a report can gap past your stop. Several of these stocks moved 8% to 29% after their last report, and a leveraged position can be liquidated and lose all the margin behind it.
