Apple shares closed at $332.89 on October 5 and traded near that level in early October 6 sessions, roughly 3.6% below the September 22 high of $345.34 amid post-earnings digestion. Fiscal Q3 results delivered record revenue of $109.4 billion and EPS of $2.02, both ahead of consensus, yet management guided September-quarter revenue growth of only 9–11% due to intensifying supply constraints on advanced chips and memory components plus a foreign-exchange headwind. The stock has pulled back from peak levels following the July 30 report and the September leadership transition to CEO John Ternus, with the forward P/E near 36 and consensus price targets clustered around $328–340. Traders will watch intraday momentum, broader Nasdaq flows, and any incremental services or iPhone demand signals ahead of the October 29 earnings release as the primary near-term catalysts for the October 7 settlement.
