Will Apple Raise Its Dividend in 2018?
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is the stock market's largest company, but what many people don't realize about the tech giant is that it has also become one of the biggest payers of dividend income to its investors. Even though its dividend yield isn't particularly remarkable, Apple hasn't been all that stingy with its payout increases in recent years, and only the stock's huge rise has diminished the importance of the dividend income it pays.
Apple raised its dividend in 2017, and many investors who follow the iPhone maker believe that there's a good reason to expect even more generous dividends down the road. Let's take a closer look at Apple to see whether shareholders should count on a payout increase in 2018.
