Apple Stock Rises on Strong Earnings and New Leadership

Apple's stock price has risen to around $325 as of September 2, 2026, following strong Q3 2026 earnings and the appointment of John Ternus as the company's new CEO.

The leadership change is seen as a positive development for Apple, with investors noting that it removes succession uncertainty and reinforces the company's image as a defensive technology stock in a rising interest-rate environment.

Apple's Q3 2026 earnings show revenue of about $109.42 billion and earnings of around $29.79 billion, resulting in a profit margin of roughly 27.23% for the quarter.

The company beat expectations with an EPS of $2.02, compared to the consensus estimate of $1.89 per share.
