Apple Inc. said its board has authorized up to $100 billion in additional share repurchases, underscoring the tech giant’s commitment to returning cash to investors. The new mandate follows nearly $716 billion in buybacks over the past decade, a figure that will rise to about $816 billion once the latest program is executed. Alongside the buyback, Apple lifted its quarterly dividend 4% to $0.26 a share, payable on May 15. Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri said the capital-return measures are consistent with the company’s objective of moving toward a net-cash-neutral position. Apple has repurchased roughly $49.5 billion of its own stock over the last six months, reducing the share count by about 420 million, or 2.7%, since the second quarter of 2024. Separately, Delta Air Lines authorized a $1 billion share repurchase program that is slated to run through June 30 2028. Combined with its regular dividend, the carrier expects to return more than $2 billion to shareholders within the next three years.
