Apple will review your refund program capital in April and Piper Jaffray believes the company that Tim Cook runs will seize the opportunity to increase both its quarterly dividend payment and share buybacks. Analyst Gene Munster points out that in the last two years the company with the bitten apple increased its dividend between 8 and 11%, so it is expected that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), do the same again in 2016 to increase it by between 5 and 10%.
The analyst also believes that Apple will add between $ 30.000 billion and $ 50.000 billion to its share buyback program also based on movements that the apple company has made in the last two years. Munster believes they will generate 5% earnings per share growth, excluding revenue, in each of the next two years.
Apple will continue to buy its own shares
In April 2014, Apple increased its dividend 8% to $ 0,47 per share and added $ 30.000 billion to its share buyback program. In April of last year, the dividend grew 11% to $ 0,52 per share and shares worth $ 50.000 billion were bought back. Since last January, the company that Tim Cook runs could spend 30.000 million to buy back shares.
Apple has been buying back shares in his company since 2012 in a program that it has been reviewing every year since. In addition to quarterly dividends, he has also sold bonds around the world, thus raising debt to buy back his own shares. The equity return program was started as a way to use its massive cash reserve that has continued to grow even with the repurchase of quarterly dividends. In this way, it could be said that Tim Cook and company feel less and less pressure from investors and always they will be able to put their shares up for sale if the time comes when they need cash, something that doesn't seem like it will happen any time soon. And is that if Apple is the most valuable company in the world keeping a wild card, how far could it go if it put all the meat on the grill?
