Apple Stock Edges Higher After Beating Forecasts with Strong Q3 Results

Apple's stock price edged higher in mid-August 2026 after the company reported strong fiscal Q3 2026 results, beating Wall Street forecasts. The shares traded around $305 on August 13, 2026, marking a gain of 1 percent from the prior close.

Fiscal Q3 2026 revenue reached $109.4 billion, up 16 percent compared to the same quarter in 2025, making it Apple's strongest June quarter in history. Earnings per share came in at $2.02, a 29 percent year-over-year increase and above consensus expectations.

Apple's guidance for fiscal Q4 2026 revenue growth was more cautious than some analysts had expected, which helped explain the initial post-earnings sell-off despite beating forecasts on both revenue and earnings.
