AAPL Share Price Soars after Record Buyback Announced
Yesterday, after the end of the main trading session, Apple published its report on its activities for the 1st quarter:
→ Earnings per share: actual = $1.53; expected = $1.505;
→ Gross income: actual = $90.75; expected = $90.36.
The better-than-expected report came as a relief to investors after reporting lower sales in five of the last six quarters. In addition, the following could give positive feedback to market participants:
→ Apple's forecast is that its iPad manufacturing and services business will grow at double-digit rates;
→ company investments in AI. “We think we're well positioned,” Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri told Bloomberg Television's Emily Chang. CEO Tim Cook is expected to outline Apple's artificial intelligence strategy at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference in June.
→ Apple Inc.'s big plan to restore investor confidence. It consists of a record $110 billion share buyback and a 4% dividend increase.
As a result, AAPL's price rose nearly 8% in post-market trading, exceeding $185 per share, although yesterday's close was around $173.
