Apple Inc. dividends

Apple paid $1.06 a share over the last four quarters, a 0.30% yield. The dividend per share has gone up 14 years in a row, by 4.5% a year over the last five.

Each column is the regular dividend per share for one fiscal year, or one quarter on Quarters, on today's share count after any split. A paler column is a period with more or fewer payments than usual. Hover or tap for the change on the period before.

Three columns a year on one dollar scale: what the company earned, what cash it had left after investing, and what it paid out, each per share. A dividend column taller than the other two was paid out of savings or borrowing that year.

The share of each year's net profit (blue) and free cash flow (green) paid as dividends. The dashed line is 100%: above it, the company paid more than it made that year.

That year's dividend per share over the share price at the fiscal year's end. The dashed line is the middle year. A higher yield than usual can come from a lower share price or a bigger dividend; the columns above tell which.

The bar ranks every company on the site from the lowest on the left to the highest on the right, in three equal thirds; the small figures under it are the values where each third starts, and the black tick is the middle company. The orange dot is this company; the grey ticks are the other companies in its industry (hover or tap for names). A hatched block is companies tied at none.
