#Apple leads share buybacks of S&P 500 companies. Despite the +24% stock price increase in the last 12 months, Apple is expected to return a record-breaking amount of cash to its shareholders, possibly exceeding $100 billion. With $173 billion in cash and an anticipated cash flow of over $350 billion in the next three years, the company could boost buybacks and dividends to new highs. Since 2012, Apple has already given back more than $812 billion to shareholders. Apple leads the S&P Index in terms of total shareholder returns via buybacks and dividends, followed by other tech majors like #Alphabet and #Microsoft. #Meta has been lagging behind its peers; however, the company might be able to close the gap with the recent dividend initiation announcement. #equitymarkets #tech #spx500 Source: Bloomberg, Michael Doto

Apple Faces Low Expectations as It Preps for Earnings Report with Potential Big Buyback Apple Inc. is approaching its Q2 earnings with modest expectations from investors, despite the possibility of a significant stock buyback announcement. The tech giant, known for its robust financial health and shareholder returns, may announce an addition of $90 billion to its repurchase program. Apple's revenues are expected to decline by almost 5% this quarter, reflecting a broader slowdown in tech, particularly in the Chinese market where it competes with Huawei. This year, Apple's stock has fallen by 12%, underperforming relative to the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100. Despite challenges, analysts see potential for Apple's stock, citing temporary setbacks in China and suggesting a strategic buy during this dip. #Apple #EarningsReport #TechStocks #Buyback #Investment #Nasdaq #MarketTrends #ChinaMarket #AIIntegration

Apple has announced the largest US buyback ever, with its board approving an additional $110 billion in share repurchases. This move surpasses its own record set in 2018 when it authorized $100 billion in buybacks. The tech giant's buyback program reflects a shift towards being a value stock that returns money to shareholders rather than a high-growth stock. Apple's quarterly results, which exceeded expectations, and its prediction of returning to revenue growth further boosted investor confidence. Apple shares rose up to 7.9% in post-market trading, potentially adding over $190 billion in market value. #marketfacts #stockmarket #apple #buyback #shares #returns #growth #bullish #technology #news

Linux DevOps Engineer recently graduated with previous work experience in IT. Looking for opportunities to apply and master my new skills.
Don't compare Apple to oranges. Investing in long term shares of a valuable visionary company like Apple which offers tangible innovative products isn't like "pumping up" market value of a company with absolutely nothing of value to offer. The Dot Com bubble of 2000 is a perfect example. Or the so called "Truth Social" which is nothing more than Mastodon open-source which anyone can download for free anyway, and it doesn't even peer with other instances for crying out loud! Talk about valueless! Yes I agree there needs to be regulation, but there's a difference between investing and pumping. #apple #stockmarket #dotcom #investment #wallstreet #markets https://lnkd.in/dhXC2xFp
Apple shares lost 10% of their value. Then Apple announced plans to buy back $110 billion of its own stock. After that, Apple shares had their best day since 2022. There's a reason stock buybacks used to be considered illegal stock manipulations. They should still be banned.

Apple recently announced a record $110 billion stock buyback program, which is the largest in the company's history. Alongside this buyback, Apple increased its cash dividend by 4%. Despite a decline in global sales, Apple's shares gained as much as 7.9% in extended trading after the announcement. The company's CEO, Tim Cook expressed optimism about the market in mainland China, which still accounts for 18% of Apple's net sales. However, independent data shows that the iPhone is rapidly losing ground in China's mobile arena. The discrepancy may arise from differences in the way analysts and Apple account for revenue. Suppliers in Asia also surged after the report. Overall, Apple's buyback and performance in India demonstrate its commitment to long-term growth. According to Google there is no one on the top except the Apple in the highest share buy back plan. This shows confidence of #TimCook over the future aspects and growth of the company. Stock performance is more than nominal. IF Tim Cook and team trust the company. Analyst will sure to invest and jump for. You can avoid if don't wanna make money. #fundamental #psychology

New Post: Apple’s 2024 Slump Puts Most-Valuable Stock Title At Risk - Apple Inc. is off to its weakest start to a year since 2019, putting its long-standing status as the world’s most valuable stock by market value in jeopardy. The Cupertino, California-based company has been the most valuable publicly-listed company since July 2022, but the stock has fallen sharply this year after the technology giant was hit by two ratings downgrades, with analysts flagging weak macro environment in China pressuring demand for iPhones. That has shrunk its lead over fellow technology juggernaut Microsoft Corp. — whose shares have seen a less pronounced decline to begin the year — to less than $100 billion. Apple’s shares, which rallied nearly 50% last year, have fallen in every session to start 2024, on track to wipe off about $183 billion in market value, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. While the stock has suffered bigger percentage declines in the first week of January, this is its biggest market value destruction at the start of any year on record. Apple fell 0.7% in premarket trading on Friday, pushing its market value down to $2.81 trillion, nearing Microsoft’s $2.73 trillion. If premarket losses hold, the stock will fall for its fifth consecutive session, its longest losing streak since October. Meanwhile, the Windows software maker has benefitted from the artificial intelligence trade that has mesmerized Wall Street over the past year. The software maker is OpenAI’s largest shareholder and has invested about $13 billion into the ChatGPT parent.

Apple's historic $110b share buyback Apple recently announced a record-breaking $110 billion share buyback plan, the largest in U.S. corporate history[4]. This surpasses Apple's own previous record of $100 billion in share repurchases authorized in 2018[4]. The massive buyback comes amid challenging earnings for the company. Apple reported a 10% decline in iPhone sales, suggesting weak demand for its latest iPhone 15 lineup released in September. Despite the drop in its core product revenue, Apple exceeded investor expectations with better-than-estimated sales and a forecast of returning to revenue growth in the current period[4]. Analysts see the buyback as a signal that Apple is transitioning from a high-growth company to a value stock that returns money to shareholders. Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers, noted "Apple may be acknowledging that they are becoming a value stock that returns money to shareholders rather than a high powered growth stock that needs its cash for R&D or expansion."[4] However, some argue that Apple's increasing reliance on share buybacks to boost earnings per share (EPS) is concerning. Over the past decade, Apple's EPS has grown at double the rate of its actual net earnings, largely due to its aggressive share repurchase program[1]. If Apple were to cut back on buybacks, either due to negative earnings growth, high interest rates, or potential corporate tax changes, its premium valuation could diminish[1]. Apple faces challenges in key markets like China, where sales continue to slow[5]. The company is also under scrutiny from U.S. and EU antitrust regulators[5]. Despite these headwinds, the record buyback announcement drove a surge of up to 7.9% in Apple's stock price in after-hours trading[4]. In summary, while the $110 billion buyback is a bold move by Apple to return capital to shareholders, it also highlights the company's shifting growth prospects and increasing dependence on financial engineering to drive earnings growth. Investors should monitor how Apple navigates slowing product sales, regulatory challenges, and its ability to develop new revenue streams in the years ahead.
