The options-based estimate is about twice Apple’s average next-day move across its past eight earnings reports. The quotes were taken after the U.S. market closed Oct. 27.
Apple is scheduled to report earnings after the U.S. market closes Monday, Nov. 2. Options expiring Nov. 4 implied a move of about 4.3% from Apple’s Oct. 27 close of $347.10.
The options quotes were taken after the U.S. market closed Oct. 27. At the $347.50 strike, a call and a put cost about $14.98 combined, implying a rough share-price range of $332 to $362. That range reflects options pricing; it is not a guaranteed boundary.
The implied move is about twice Apple’s average next-day move of roughly 2% across its previous eight earnings reports. Shares declined after six of those reports, with the largest drop, 7.4%, following the July 2026 report.
Options expiring Nov. 13 imply a 5.2% move over the longer period. An options buyer can lose money if the eventual share-price move does not cover the premium, even if the buyer correctly anticipates whether shares rise or fall.
