Apple (AAPL) adds $100 billion to its share buyback program

Apple continues to look into repurchasing its stock shares.

Apple (AAPL) issued its earnings report for Q2 2026. The company finished the most recent fiscal quarter ahead of analyst expectations with a $111.2 billion USD revenue figure. With that number out there, Apple is taking this opportunity to contribute $100 billion to its share buyback program.

"Apple's board of directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.27 per share of the Company's common stock, an increase of 4 percent," reads the Apple Q2 2026 earnings report. "The dividend is payable on May 14, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 11, 2026. The board of directors has also authorized an additional program to repurchase up to $100 billion of the Company’s common stock."

Apple has repurchased $36.989 billion worth of its own stock over the last six months. This is the second straight year where Apple has spent $100 billion on its share buyback program for the second quarter of its fiscal year.
