  • Apple's $62.9 billion stock buyback program called a bad investment in new report

    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 huge buyback amounts before approaching neutral cash.

    Apple would make their stockholders much happier if they increased the dividends even more than buying up even more shares. The previous buy backs where at much higher prices so really a waste of capital. Dividends also reward and incentivize long term stock holders.
    The buyback will be more fully felt 10 years from now.  It is a long term investment.

    Buying back at different different prices is the basis of dollar cost averaging.  Same works for those who invest in the stock.
    Thank you for a voice of reason.

    Apple has retired around 1.2 billion shares over the last 3 years.  If prices remain depressed then imagine how many they can retire over the next 10 years.  Then we are looking at a company with 1 billion or less outstanding shares in 10-15 years. Prices will rise over that time period and the cash in the bank will come in handy in helping us get to that point.  I envision having less than 500 million shares outstanding.

    Everyone can do their own math on EPS and P/E but I can promise you will like it if we get to that point.
