Apple Inc News 23 December 2025 - 5 January 2026

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 09:34 ET — Market closed Apple Inc shares ended Friday down 0.3% at $271.01, starting 2026 on a softer note after a broker reset expectations on valuation even as broader U.S. stocks eked out gains. Investing The move matters because Apple is a heavyweight in major indexes and a bellwether for “megacap” tech positioning at the start of a new year, when investors tend to rebalance exposure and reassess what is already priced into the stock. Reuters Joe Mazzola, head of trading & derivatives strategist at Charles Schwab, described the market’s current mindset as “buy

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 09:34 ET — Regular session Apple shares (AAPL.O) edged higher in early trading on Friday after Raymond James resumed coverage with a neutral rating, arguing the iPhone maker’s valuation leaves little room for near-term upside. StockAnalysis The call lands as Wall Street starts the first full session of 2026 with a heavy macro calendar and a market still searching for direction after a choppy year-end. Mega-cap tech stocks like Apple can sway broad indexes because of their outsized weight.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 16:56 ET Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives kept a $350 price target on Apple and listed the iPhone maker among his top five artificial-intelligence picks for 2026. “The elephant in the room remains the invisible AI strategy,” Ives wrote, saying Apple’s installed base of 2.4 billion iOS devices and 1.5 billion iPhones gives it leverage if it accelerates AI efforts. Business Insider The call lands as investors reset positions after U.S. stocks logged another year of double-digit gains, helped by enthusiasm around AI-focused names despite tariff uncertainty.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 05:03 ET — Market closed Apple Inc shares ended the last regular session down 0.45% at $271.86. U.S. stock markets are closed on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday and are set to reopen on Friday. The holiday pause gives investors a clean break between year-end positioning and the next run of catalysts. Apple remains a bellwether for consumer-tech demand and for the direction of Nasdaq heavyweights. The broader market also finished 2025 on a softer note, with the Nasdaq down 0.76% and technology and energy stocks among the biggest drags, Reuters reported. Thin

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 16:19 ET — After-hours Apple Inc (AAPL.O) shares edged lower after the bell on Wednesday, slipping about 0.4% to $271.82 in after-hours trading. The stock’s modest move underscored how little it took to nudge megacap technology names at year-end, when many portfolio managers are closing books and liquidity is thinner than normal. “It’s perfectly fine in any bull market to have moments of cost,” said Giuseppe Sette, co-founder and president of Reflexivity, pointing to profit-taking when liquidity is low. Reuters Apple’s after-hours dip followed a choppy stretch for the broader market into the holiday-shortened week,

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 09:41 ET — Regular session Apple shares edged lower in early New York trading on Monday, slipping about 0.2% to $273.40. The pullback comes as heavyweight technology stocks give back some ground after last week’s gains pushed the S&P 500 to fresh highs and left it within about 1% of the 7,000 mark, Reuters reported. Reuters Why it matters now: trading volumes are expected to be light in the holiday-affected week, with U.S. markets shut on Thursday for New Year’s Day. Some investors had been looking for a “Santa Claus rally” — a seasonal tendency

As of 7:10 p.m. ET in New York on Friday, December 26, 2025, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) was last trading around $273.40 after U.S. markets closed for the day and headed into the weekend. Apple stock is finishing the week in a market that’s still flirting with all-time highs—but with noticeably lower conviction and lighter holiday volume. On Friday, Wall Street ended a quiet post-Christmas session nearly unchanged, with the Dow down 0.04%, the S&P 500 down 0.03%, and the Nasdaq down 0.09% as investors watched the early stretch of the seasonal “Santa Claus rally” window.

U.S. markets reopen Friday, December 26, 2025, after the Christmas Day closure—with a full trading session despite the federal government being closed. Reuters For Apple investors, that means the first “normal” read on Apple Inc. (AAPL) after a holiday-thinned stretch (early close on Dec. 24, closed Dec. 25) will arrive into a news cycle dominated by App Store regulation, fresh China iPhone shipment data, and Wall Street’s increasingly AI-driven 2026 narrative.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) finished Tuesday’s regular session modestly higher and then barely moved in early after-hours trading, as investors weighed a new set of App Store and privacy headlines, fresh signals on iPhone 17 demand, and the bigger 2026 narrative around Apple’s AI roadmap. As of shortly after the closing bell, Apple shares were essentially flat in extended trading—an unsurprising pause in a holiday-thinned week where even major headlines can take longer to translate into decisive price action.
