The Apple share hunts from one high to the next and has more than doubled within 2 years. But eventually this uptrend will be over, but not today and tomorrow. Striking is the sharp decline in the volume of traded shares, which of course is due to the already years of Buy back stocks.
In the chart you can see my count and I summarized the short version of the good Q2 2018 numbers from May 2018 here so that you do not have to search:
More iPhones and iPads were sold than in the previous year. A sales increase of 16% to $ 61.1 billion was realized. Profit grew 25% to $ 13.8 billion.
Wow - What a CashCow!
Sales:
iPhones: 52.2 million devices worldwide (50.8 million in Q2 2017)
iPads: 9.1 million devices worldwide (8.92 million in Q2 2017)
Macs: 4.1 million devices worldwide (4.2 million in Q2 2017)
Sales: $ 61.1 billion worldwide ($ 52.9 billion in Q2 2017)
Profit: $ 13.8 billion worldwide ($ 11.0 billion in Q2 2017)
Cash Mountain = unbelievable $ 267.2 billion.
Investors view:
The dividend will be raised 16% to $ 0.73 in the quarter. That gives $ 2.92 p.a. To this end, $ 100 billion will be spent on the share buyback program and continue to tighten the outstanding shares.
