Apple To Launch Largest Stock Repurchasing Plan In History

Posted by Soulskill on from the not-sure-if-confidence-or-overconfidence dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In conjunction with its earnings report for the second quarter of 2013, Apple issued a press release announcing some major plans for its ever growing stockpile of cash. It is increasing its quarterly dividend payout to investors by 15%. What's more, the company will spend $60 billion in stock repurchases, making it in Apple's words, 'the largest single share repurchase authorization in history.'"
