Apple Dividend Policy
Apple’s dividend policy is not aggressive in terms of growing dividends, mind you, it’s not that it isn’t growing, but its RPD is still very low if we compare other growth companies.
Apple pays it shareholders quarterly in the months of February, May, August and November.
For this reason, Apple considers itself a ‘value’ company rather than a ‘growth’ company, meaning ‘value’ as companies that appreciate over time and ‘growth’ as companies that are focused on giving a stable and growing dividend over time.
