Apple stock heads into Monday under a valuation spotlight after Raymond James turns neutral on AAPL

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 16:23 ET — Market closed Apple Inc shares closed Friday down about 0.3% at $271.01, giving back a slice of their late-2025 run. Raymond James resumed coverage with a “market perform” rating — Wall Street shorthand for a neutral view — citing a rich valuation and a thin near-term catalyst calendar, according to an Investors Business Daily report. The stock is valued at roughly 30 times trailing earnings, a price-to-earnings ratio that measures what investors pay for each dollar of profit.

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 09:31 ET — Market closed Apple Inc (AAPL.O) shares last closed down 0.31% at $271.01 on Friday, after trading between $269.00 and $277.84. Volume was about 37.8 million shares, according to Investing.com data.

Apple stock today: AAPL slips on Raymond James caution as Wall Street weighs rates and earnings

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 06:20 ET — Market closed Apple Inc shares slipped about 0.3% to $271.01 on Friday after Raymond James restarted coverage with a neutral view on valuation. U.S. markets are closed on Sunday, leaving Apple last seen trading between $269.12 and $277.69 on roughly 37.8 million shares. The call lands as investors reset positions for 2026, with mega-cap technology again under a microscope after last year’s run lifted valuations across the sector.

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 12:42 ET — Market closed Big Tech stocks started 2026 on a split note on Friday, with Tesla’s drop after its delivery report offsetting strength in chipmakers led by Nvidia. Reuters The mixed tape matters now because megacap tech has an outsized pull on the Nasdaq and S&P 500, and investors are using the year’s opening sessions to reset exposure after a volatile end to 2025.

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 09:48 ET — Market closed Meta Platforms shares fell about 1.4% on Friday to close at $650.41, ending the first trading day of 2026 on the back foot.

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.

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 07:29 ET — Market closed. Apple Inc shares ended the first U.S. trading day of 2026 down 0.3% at $271.01 on Friday. The iPhone maker traded as low as $269.12 and as high as $277.69. The move matters because Apple is one of the biggest weights in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, so even modest swings can steer index returns. Early January is also when many investors rebalance after year-end, and megacaps tend to absorb that positioning. With borrowing costs still a key market driver, traders have been less forgiving of richly valued technology names,

Apple, Amazon, Google stocks in focus as Alphabet filings surface and charts turn bullish

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 11:02 ET Alphabet (GOOGL) shares rose about 1% on Friday as investors returned for the first U.S. trading session of 2026 and zeroed in on mega-cap technology names. Apple (AAPL) edged higher, while Amazon.com (AMZN) slipped. The moves matter because these companies are among the biggest weights in the Nasdaq and S&P 500. Even modest swings can tug on index levels and shape risk sentiment early in the year. Liquidity remains uneven after the holiday break, when fewer market participants are active. That can make short-term chart signals and headlines feel louder than usual. In
