Apple's $110 Billion Buyback Is Its Largest Ever
Corporate Action
Apple has authorized $100 billion in stock buybacks for 2025 and 2026, following its largest-ever repurchase authorization of $110 billion in 2024. Under CEO Tim Cook, who took over in 2011, the company has bought back $877 billion in shares, reducing its outstanding share count from about 26 billion to 14.6 billion as of July 2026. The buybacks have increased each shareholder's ownership stake by nearly 80% over Cook's tenure, though Apple's current valuation of 36 times trailing earnings means repurchases add less value than they did when the stock traded at 12 to 18 times earnings. John Ternus will become CEO on September 1, 2026, and may shift some capital toward research and development or acquisitions.
