Apple to pay dividends next week; Here's how much 100 AAPL shares will earn

Apple is set to pay its next quarterly dividend on August 13, with the ex-dividend date on August 10, 2026. The article emphasizes that the payout is modest, with a 0.36% yield, reflecting Apple’s preference for capital appreciation over income. For holders of 100 AAPL shares, the expected payment is $27, while Tim Cook and Arthur Levinson are estimated to receive about $905,000 and $1.01 million, respectively. The piece also frames the dividend in the context of Apple’s slowing share performance: the stock rose about 450% from 2016 to 2021, but only 107.62% over the last five years. In 2026, AAPL was up 25% by late July before easing to 11.96% as of August 4, and it recently fell 10% to $303.42 after the latest earnings report. Overall, the article suggests investors may increasingly rely on dividends as Apple’s growth momentum cools.
