Apple's stock closed at $268.81 on October 27, 2025, up 2.28%, continuing a strong upward trend with a 5.2% gain over the past month[1]. The stock has risen steadily from $252.29 on October 17, 2025 to current levels near $269, demonstrating robust momentum amid broader optimism around tech giants. However, valuation concerns are emerging as Apple's P/E ratio exceeds 28x, significantly above the market average of 20x[1]. One widely followed analysis suggests the stock is 52% overvalued with a fair value estimate of $177.34[1]. Despite these concerns, investor confidence remains strong, with total shareholder returns reaching 15.7% over the past year[1].
