$Apple(AAPL)$ Apple has been increasing its dividend since 2013, so it'll be decades before the company could potentially hit 50 consecutive years of rate hikes and become a Dividend King. But given the company's impressive and constantly growing ecosystem, combined with fantastic financials, it seems probable that it will get there.
For starters, the company doesn't pay as high of a dividend as it could. Its payout ratio is just 15% of earnings, and Apple could easily afford to pay more. It looks like a strategic move to be able to grow its dividend without potentially disrupting its growth initiatives. In May, the company raised its dividend by just 1 cent.

I think it is impossible to lose with $3 trillion in market cap - with clear skies and a powerful tailwind behind that is unless it is manipulated - ya think?
Sold open covered call and covered. Bought it back. I should let it expire this Friday. $185. strike.
There are so few truly great companies out there where you can be sure the next decade if not decades of growth are all but guaranteed. Apple is one such company. Buy it, hold it, and sit back as the march of time rewards you handsomely.
Apple's buybacks are more costly than Vision Pro. Just consider it an experiment at this point. I have my doubts about Vision Pro being a huge seller but only time will tell. I've been wrong before about many things.
Buy back at around $170 people. be patient it will drop.
Over time it continues to make highs 30-35% higher than the former high followed by a pull back of 30-40%.
