Price stays near the range

Yahoo Finance data show Nasdaq stock at USD 90.43 in intraday trading on September 15, 2026, with a market cap of USD 50.548 billion, a 52-week range of USD 76.55 to USD 101.79 and volume of 667,248 shares. That leaves the shares below the analyst average target of USD 109.67 and only modestly above the latest close from the prior session.

As ad hoc news reported on September 15, 2026, the stock finished higher even as the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.56 percent to 26,186.41 on September 14, 2026.

Q2 FY26 numbers

Yahoo Finance lists Q2 FY26 revenue at USD 1.5 billion and earnings at USD 507 million, with profit margin at 33.80 percent and diluted EPS at USD 1.07 versus an estimate of USD 0.98. Revenue for the trailing 12 months was USD 5.61 billion, while net income attributable to common shareholders reached USD 1.97 billion.

That makes the quarter more than a simple market move story. The 9 cent EPS beat and the USD 1.5 billion quarterly revenue figure give the stock a current operating backdrop that still matters more than the one-day price change.
