Apple's App Store Growth Rebounds in September; Sees Solid iPhone Demand, UBS Says

11:39 AM EDT, 10/06/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Apple (AAPL) could see App Store growth accelerate after September's rebound and Services revenue keep growing, with solid iPhone demand and a below-average valuation outweighing gross margin and supply chain headwinds, UBS said in a note Tuesday. App Store revenue grew 5% in September, lifting fiscal Q4 growth to 2%, or 1% excluding currency effects, with the US down 7% and the rest of the world up 7%, the investment firm said. The September rebound from a flattish August is an incremental positive but too early to extrapolate, with October facing a 180 basis point harder comparison and the first full month of EU App Store changes for a region making up just over 10% of App Store revenue, according to the note. UBS left its Services estimates unchanged but flagged the App Store slowdown as a downside risk, seeing revenue growth of 9.9% in fiscal Q4, below the 10.3% consensus estimate, and 13.0% in fiscal 2026 versus the 13.1% consensus. UBS kept its neutral rating and $296 price target, citing solid iPhone demand but growing gross margin and supply chain challenges. Price: 333.00, Change: +0.11, Percent Change: +0.03

Nvidia Stock Chases Record High as Key Supplier's Revenue Booms on AI Demand -- Barrons.com

By Adam Clark Nvidia stock was pushing for a record high. Results from its artificial-intelligence server partner Foxconn suggest the chip maker should have plenty of momentum to keep moving higher. Nvidia shares were up 1.2% at $236.59 on Monday. If the move holds, it would surpass the stock's all-time closing high of $235.74, reached in May. Investors finally seem to be gaining confidence that a company with a $5.6 trillion valuation can still be undervalued. Nvidia was a Barron's stock pick in May when shares traded around $226 with a forward price-to-earnings ratio of about 24 times. It now trades at a forward multiple of 17.1 times, according to FactSet. For evidence that AI hardware is set to keep booming, just look at Nvidia's Taiwanese partner Foxconn -- formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry. Foxconn is primarily known in the U.S. as the main contract manufacturer for Apple but makes more of its money from cloud and networking products, including AI servers housing Nvidia chips. Foxconn reported September-quarter revenue of 3.03 trillion New Taiwan dollars ($95.48 billion) on Monday, up 47% from the same period last year. Foxconn said "AI-related operations" were set to keep growing in the fourth quarter, although it didn't provide specific guidance. If Nvidia finally breaks out of the trading range it has occupied since May, then it could move decisively higher. The average price target on Wall Street is $334.45, according to FactSet.

Trading congestion! Bank of America warns: "Buy AI, sell consumer" strategies are increasingly difficult to generate excess returns

Active fund holdings have already fully reflected the theme of "consumption shifting to capital expenditure." It is becoming increasingly difficult to generate excess returns by buying beneficiaries of AI capital expenditure and selling white-collar consumption themes.

Hon Hai's revenue in September increased by 38.4% year-on-year, with cumulative growth of nearly 40% in the first three quarters.

On October 5, Foxconn released its financial data, showing sales of TWD 1.16 trillion in September, a year-on-year increase of 38.4%. Third-quarter revenue was approximately TWD 3.027 trillion, up 47% compared to the same period last year, and above analysts’ average expectations of TWD 2.83 trillion. Cumulatively, Foxconn’s revenue for the first nine months of this year reached TWD 7.67 trillion, representing a solid growth of 39.5% compared to the previous year.

Stock Funds Cling to a 10.3% Gain for 2026 -- WSJ

By William Power To use football terminology, the stock market had a solid first half but struggled to move the ball in the third quarter. Nevertheless, fund investors are in line for a win. For the quarter, S&P 500-focused funds posted an average total return of 2.2%. But overall U.S.-stock mutual funds and ETFs fell an average 2.4%, to trim their year-to-date gain to 10.3%, according to LSEG statistics. (See Mutual-Fund Yardsticks table.) International-stock funds were down an average 0.4% for the quarter, to trim the year-to-date return to 10.1%. The jump in interest rates, and slowdown in the tech-stock bullet train, has put many investors on edge. Highflying stocks like those tied to artificial intelligence "may be vulnerable to a selloff if investors decide they'd rather take advantage of the currently elevated risk-free rates" that Treasurys represent, said Saira Malik, chief investment officer at Nuveen. Treasurys have been pummeled recently, to push up yields-which move on a seesaw compared with prices-to multiyear highs. "Investors believe the Fed's resolve will ultimately bring inflation under control, which is a precondition for a durable equity rally," said Chris Osmond, chief investment officer for Fifth Third Wealth Advisors. Bond funds were hammered in the quarter. Funds focused on investment-grade debt (the most common type of fixed-income fund) posted a negative total return of 3.7%, to put the year-to-date gain at 3.0%. Fund flows Investors continued to show faith in the stock market in the third quarter, but placed even more faith in the relative comfort of bond funds-despite the recent rout in Treasurys and accompanying jump in yields. Based on Investment Company Institute estimates, investors added a net $4.3 billion to U.S.-stock mutual funds and exchange-traded funds in the third quarter. They also added a net $15.7 billion to international-stock funds. However, that stock-fund investing paled in comparison to bond funds. Investors put a net $175.0 billion into bond-focused mutual funds an
