Yes, it's possible... but, data is returned in XML... it'll take a lot of work to cleanup the XML file... a LOT. The code below will create a struct with the XML data. Good luck cleaning that up.

%% Connect to IBTWS or GATEWAY
ib = ibtws('',4001,0);

%% Create Contract
contract = ib.Handle.createContract;
contract.symbol = 'AAPL';
contract.secType = 'STK';
contract.exchange = 'SMART';
contract.primaryExchange = 'SMART';
contract.currency = 'USD';

%% register event
ib.Handle.registerevent({'fundamentalData',@(varargin)fundHandler(varargin{:},ib)});

%% Request Data
tickerid = randperm(10000,1);
ib.Handle.reqFundamentalData(tickerid,contract,'ReportsFinSummary'); pause(0.2);
ib.Handle.cancelFundamentalData(tickerid);

%% Unregister the event(s)
listeners = ib.Handle.eventlisteners;
i = strcmp(listeners(:,1),'fundamentalData');
ib.Handle.unregisterevent([{listeners{i,1}}' {listeners{i,2}}']);

% Event handler
function fundHandler(varargin)
switch varargin{end-1}
    case 'fundamentalData'
        fundamentaldata = varargin{5}.data
        % Store the XML data in a temp *.xml file
        filename = ['fundamentaldata.xml'];
        fid = fopen(filename,'Wt');
        fwrite(fid,fundamentaldata);
        fclose(fid);
        
        % Read the file into an XML model object
        data = xml2struct(filename);
        
        % Assign the data to a variable
        assignin('base','fundamentaldata',data)
end
end

Output:
