Apple stock forecast for 2026: Can AAPL reach $350 as AI questions linger?

Apple stock forecast for 2026: Can AAPL reach $350 as AI questions linger?

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. The S&P 500 rose 16.39% in 2025, the

Apple stock slips into 2026 as year-end tech pullback bites; AAPL earnings next

Apple stock slips into 2026 as year-end tech pullback bites; AAPL earnings next

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 09:31 ET — Market closed. Apple Inc (AAPL.O) shares slipped $1.22, or 0.45%, to close at $271.86 on Wednesday, the final trading day of 2025. U.S. markets are shut on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. Yahoo Finance+1 The move matters because it leaves Apple starting 2026 with investors rotating around megacap tech after a late-December pullback. “It’s just a healthy rebalancing of allocations more so than an emotionally driven sell-off,” said Mark Hackett, chief market strategist at Nationwide. Reuters Trading stayed light into the holiday, a backdrop that can amplify moves when large

Apple stock (AAPL) heads into 2026 near $272 as New Year’s Day shuts markets — what to watch next

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

Apple stock slips after hours to close out 2025; what AAPL traders are watching next

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,

Santa Claus Rally Fizzles: S&P 500, Dow Slip as Tech Weighs on 2025 Finale

Santa Claus Rally Fizzles: S&P 500, Dow Slip as Tech Weighs on 2025 Finale

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 13:55 ET Wall Street’s main indexes inched lower in the final trading session of 2025, pressured by technology shares, but remained on track to finish the year with solid gains. The late-year dip matters because it comes after a volatile year shaped by tariff uncertainty from President Donald Trump and a powerful run in artificial intelligence, or AI, stocks that pushed major indexes to record highs. It also puts a spotlight on the market’s failure to deliver a “Santa Claus rally” — the seasonal pattern when the S&P 500 often rises over the last five

Dow Jones slips in thin New Year’s Eve trade as Apple, Microsoft weigh; jobless claims surprise

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 13:26 ET — Regular session The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped on Wednesday, extending a late-December pullback as tech heavyweights weighed in thin New Year’s Eve trade. At 12:00 p.m. ET, the Dow fell 116.75 points, or 0.24%, to 48,243.94. Reuters The dip matters now because it comes in the final hours of 2025, when year-end rebalancing and lighter liquidity can magnify moves in headline indexes. U.S. stock markets are open for normal hours on Dec. 31 but shut on Jan. 1 for New Year’s Day, before reopening on Jan. 2. MarketWatch The Dow can

Apple stock slips in year-end trading as tech drags; what investors watch next

Apple stock slips in year-end trading as tech drags; what investors watch next

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 12:07 ET — Regular session Apple shares dipped on Wednesday as investors continued to trim exposure to large technology names into the end of the year. The iPhone maker’s stock was down 0.2% at $272.63, after trading between $271.78 and $273.58. The move mattered because Apple’s enormous weighting in major indexes often makes it a bellwether for shifts in risk appetite on quiet days, when small flows can move prices more than usual. U.S. stocks were modestly lower in holiday-thin trading, extending a late-December drift that has undercut expectations for a “Santa Claus rally,” a

Stock Market Today: S&P 500 futures slip on New Year’s Eve as Meta’s Manus deal fuels AI chatter

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 04:34 ET — Premarket U.S. stock index futures edged lower early Wednesday, setting up a cautious start to New Year’s Eve trading as investors weighed a fresh burst of dealmaking in artificial intelligence against a late-year pullback in big tech. The final session of the year tends to bring lighter volumes, and that can magnify moves as funds rebalance portfolios and adjust risk before year-end statements and benchmark resets. The S&P 500 is up about 17% so far this year and the Dow has logged a long monthly winning streak, leaving little tolerance for surprises.

Dow Jones today: Fed minutes and thin liquidity set the tone for 2025’s final session

NEW YORK, Dec 31, 2025, 02:56 ET — Market closed The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended slightly lower on Tuesday as investors digested Federal Reserve meeting minutes and pared exposure to parts of the tech-heavy rally into the year’s final session. The index finished at 48,367.06, down 94.87 points, or 0.20%. Reuters The timing matters. Wednesday is the last U.S. cash equity session of 2025, and trading has been thin, a setup that can amplify swings when big funds rebalance portfolios and traders close books.

Apple stock slips after Fed minutes as year-end trading thins — what AAPL investors are watching

Apple stock slips after Fed minutes as year-end trading thins — what AAPL investors are watching

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 16:06 ET — After-hours Apple Inc (AAPL) shares were last down about 0.2% at $273.18 in Tuesday’s regular session, after trading between $272.28 and $274.00. The iPhone maker’s market value stood near $3.0 trillion and the stock traded at about 30 times trailing earnings. The move mattered because Apple is one of the biggest stocks in U.S. benchmarks, and small price changes can carry outsized influence when markets are lightly staffed and liquidity is thin. Investors used the lull to trim crowded positions in the biggest technology names after recent gains. “The valuation gap is

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 13:22 ET — Regular session U.S. stocks edged lower in holiday-thin trade on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq near flat as investors waited for the Federal Reserve’s meeting minutes. Meta Platforms rose after saying it will buy AI startup Manus, helping support communication services shares. At 12:00 p.m. ET, the Dow fell 0.24%, the S&P 500 slipped 0.09% and the Nasdaq Composite eased 0.07%.

Apple stock today: AAPL nudges higher as Barclays flags China share loss, Fed minutes in focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 09:45 ET — Regular session Apple Inc shares were up 0.1% at $273.76 in early Tuesday trading, steadying after a tech-driven dip on Wall Street to start the final week of the year. The moves matter now because Apple is one of the market’s biggest stocks, and small shifts in sentiment toward mega-cap technology can sway broader indexes in thin, year-end trading. Traders are also bracing for fresh signals on U.S. rates, with minutes from the Federal Reserve’s last meeting due later Tuesday, as investors try to gauge the pace of expected easing in 2026.
