Apple shares closed at $333.69 on October 2, 2026, within 3-4% of the 52-week high near $345, supported by fiscal Q3 revenue of $109.4 billion and EPS of $2.02, both above year-ago levels. Trader focus centers on the October 13 smart-home product push and October 16-23 foldable iPhone launch window, which could influence near-term volume and sentiment. Recent analyst actions, including Morgan Stanley’s modest target reduction to $355, highlight offsetting pressures from potential iPhone average selling price declines and higher memory costs. The stock trades at a forward P/E near 36 amid broader tech AI momentum, with the next earnings release scheduled for October 29 providing the primary subsequent catalyst.
