After the lackluster buyback last quarter I expect Apple to have spent $20 billion or more on the buyback this quarter and to have taken around 125 million shares off the table which increases our ownership by 2.6%. Unless they are stockpiling cash…

This rank amateur thinks these professional analysts are way off on their EPS estimates. I'm looking for something in the $4.35-$4.45 range. Maybe more if they hit 38.5% margin and $85 billion in revenue.

I certainly understand wanting more in dividends right now. If they gave 100% in dividends it would be around $12.50 per share right now. And with growth in earnings that could reach $15-20 per share in 10 years or so. But dumb old me can see the…

If you have a long term(10+ years) positive outlook on Apple then the buyback program is a home run. Especially at these prices. Apple could easily take 12-15% of the outstanding shares off the table in 2019 alone. And still have 3 more years of …

Got that number from a spreadsheet that is included with the quarterly reports from investor relations. It is a return of capital history: http://https//s22.q4cdn.com/396847794/files/doc_financials/quarterly/2018/Q4/Apple-Return-of-Capital-and-Net…

KBuffett said: Apple & Tim Cook have burnt huge amount of shareholder cash on share buyback. This has had absolutely no positive effect. And I hope they spend another 500 Billion on it.
