At the close on September 21, 2026, NetApp stock ended the Nasdaq session at USD 198.15, up 0.18% for the day per Nasdaq data from Yahoo Finance. The move came as large-cap technology names helped push the Nasdaq Composite to a new record close, underscoring strong sector momentum.
September 21, 2026 in numbers
NetApp Inc. (ISIN US64120B1098, Nasdaq: NTAP) closed at USD 198.15 on the Nasdaq on September 21, 2026, compared with a prior close of about USD 197.79, marking a daily gain of roughly 0.18% in light trading. Per Nasdaq data from Yahoo Finance, the shares traded within an intraday range that kept the close near the upper end of the day’s band, with volume modest relative to recent sessions. In the same session, the Nasdaq Composite climbed about 2.26% to a fresh record close as reported by The Globe and Mail, meaning NetApp lagged the broader tech-driven advance despite its positive close.
Recent analyst commentary added a supportive backdrop. On September 21, 2026, Investing.com reported that UBS raised its price target for NetApp to USD 173 from USD 137 as part of a broader reassessment of data and analytics companies, highlighting expectations for a constructive earnings environment in the storage and data infrastructure segment. While the upgraded target remains below the latest close, the higher valuation framework reinforced investor focus on NetApp’s positioning within a buoyant technology market.
Today’s focus for NetApp stock
Today, NetApp trades ahead of the US opening bell without a scheduled earnings release or major corporate event explicitly tied to September 22, 2026 in the visible calendars, so attention stays on sector dynamics and recent analyst views. The strong performance of large-cap technology and chip-related names in the previous session, documented by The Globe and Mail, provides the immediate market backdrop as investors assess whether momentum in cloud, storage and broader data infrastructure names can extend into today’s trading. In addition, the revised NetApp price target from UBS reported by Investing.com keeps valuation and earnings expectations in focus as the stock heads into the open, alongside the broader performance of the Nasdaq Composite and related technology benchmarks.
