Apple Dividend Increase
The dividend is payable on 14 May to shareholders of record on 11 May.
AAPL’s contribution to DivGro’s projected annual dividend income will increase by $3 to $81.
I own 75 shares of AAPL at an average cost basis of $162.10 per share. Following this increase, my yield on cost is 0.67%. (The stock’s forward yield is 0.38% at $285.45 per share).
Since I opened my position in March 2025, the stock has delivered a total return of 78%, including dividends of $233.11. That’s a spectacular annualized rate of return of 29.4%!
I’ve since sold several earlier lots and bought more AAPL shares at a higher cost basis in a retirement account, so my current total return is more modest.
