Apple's Q3 '26 revenue rises 16.4% but Q4 guidance warns of margin pressure and slower growth

Apple Inc. reported a 16.4% revenue increase to $109 billion in Q3 2026, driven largely by iPhone sales which accounted for 64% of the growth. However, the company faces challenges from rising manufacturing costs and memory supply constraints, which are expected to pressure profit margins. Despite strong recent performance, Apple's management guidance for Q4 2026 signals potential margin headwinds and a slowdown in revenue growth. Given these factors and Apple's high valuation, the analyst downgraded the stock to a Sell, though new product launches may support the stock price in the near term.

Apple's stock price on Pluang is currently USD 330.47, down 2.32% as of Nov 04, 2026 03:41 WIB. The stock's market cap stands at $4.94 trillion, reflecting its massive scale despite recent margin concerns. Trading volume remains active with over 64 million shares changing hands, showing sustained investor interest amid mixed outlooks.
