Stock Market Today, Sept. 9: Apple Reveals Foldable iPhone and AI-Boosted iPhone 18 Pro
Yahoo Finance ·
Global technology giant Apple closed down 0.28 percent at $315.34 on September 9, with a trading volume of 64.7 million shares, tracking roughly 2 percent above its three-month average of 53.7 million shares. The S&P 500 fell 0.48 percent to 7,636, and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.64 percent to 26,253. Sector peers Microsoft fell 0.47 percent to $491.65, while Alphabet declined 2.28 percent to $330.65. Under new CEO John Ternus, Apple introduced its debut foldable phone alongside new device models. Investor sentiment remained subdued due to potential margin pressures, despite a $100 price hike for the iPhone 18 Pro series. Furthermore, Apple's forward P/E ratio sits near 36, significantly above its three-year average of about 30, meaning future earnings must justify the high valuation.
AI 시장 분석
Apple unveiled its foldable iPhone and the AI-enhanced iPhone 18 Pro series, but its stock fell 0.28% to close at $315.34. Investor response was somewhat lukewarm due to concerns over high forward P/E valuation near 36x and margin pressures from rising costs. Trading volume reached 64.7 million shares, exceeding the 3-month average, while both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices closed weak.
상승 영향
- AI — Apple is accelerating the AI commercialization race by featuring Siri upgrades and next-generation AI devices, contributing to the expansion of the related ecosystem.
하락 영향
- Smartphones — Despite the price hike of the iPhone 18 Pro, rising component cost pressures will compress margins, and the high valuation burden reaching 36x will increase downward pressure on the stock.
DYAX 전담 분석
Despite Apple's new product launches and the announcement of a $100 price hike, concerns that component cost increases cannot be fully offset and resulting margin pressures acted as downward pressure on the stock. Controversy over overvaluation persists, with the forward P/E at 36, significantly higher than the 3-year average of 30.
Future stock performance will likely be determined by actual sales volume driven by the AI smartphone supercycle and the defense of profit margins. Investors should closely monitor service sector growth and hardware margin indicators in upcoming earnings reports.
