Apple's shares closed at $333.69 on October 2, 2026, near the upper end of a recent $325–$345 trading range after a 1.02% gain that day. Strong Q3 2026 results—revenue of $109.4 billion and EPS of $2.02, both beating estimates—combined with September launches of the iPhone Duo foldable and other devices have supported sentiment, though Morgan Stanley trimmed its price target to $355. With next-quarter earnings not due until October 29, the week of October 5 hinges on broader tech-sector flows, macroeconomic data, and options-implied volatility near 21%, which prices an expected move of roughly ±1.4% over the first few sessions. Analyst consensus remains Buy, with the average 12-month target at $328.
