Apple shares closed near $342 on October 15, 2026, with the company’s market capitalization surpassing $5 trillion for the first time at the October 14 close after hitting a 52-week high of $348.15 the prior session. Fiscal third-quarter results showed revenue of $109.4 billion and EPS of $2.02, both ahead of consensus and lifted by iPhone sales growth and services momentum. Traders are monitoring the upcoming September-quarter earnings release around late October, where guidance on iPhone demand, gross margins near 50 percent, and AI feature monetization will shape near-term price action relative to analyst targets clustered around $330–$360. Recent smart-home product introductions and sustained services expansion provide additional context for valuation multiples near 39 times trailing earnings.
