Earnings announcement* for AAPL: May 02, 2017. Apple Inc. is expected* to report earnings on 05/02/2017 after market close. The report will be for the fiscal Quarter ending Mar 2017. According to Zacks Investment Research, based on 14 analysts' forecasts, the consensus EPS forecast for the quarter is $2.01. The reported EPS for the same quarter last year was $1.9.
Apple's Increased Dividend And Buyback Is In-line With Expectations. Apple updated its capital return program increasing it from $200 billion ending in March 2017 to $250 billion ending in March 2018. The dividend portion went from $60 billion to $75 billion with buybacks growing from $140 billion to $175 billion. While the increase was a substantial $50 billion note that the end date moved out a year. (Note that I own Apple shares).
