Apple will pay shareholders a quarterly cash dividend of $0.27 per share on August 13, maintaining the rate it introduced earlier in 2026 after reporting its strongest June quarter on record.
The dividend will go to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 10. Apple's board approved the payment alongside the company's fiscal third-quarter earnings results.
The board raised Apple's dividend by 4% from $0.26 to $0.27 per share in April. The latest declaration keeps that higher rate in place rather than giving shareholders another increase.
The math is easy — an investor holding 100 Apple shares will receive $27, while 1,000 shares will produce a $270 payment before any applicable taxes.
Apple announced the dividend after reporting $109.4 billion in quarterly revenue, up 16% from the same period a year earlier. Diluted earnings per share rose 29% to $2.02, while iPhone, Mac and Services revenue each set June-quarter records.
The results exceeded the roughly $109 billion in revenue and $1.89 per share that analysts had expected before the report. Apple also said its installed base reached a record across every major product category and geographic segment.
Tariff refunds added about two percentage points to Apple's 50.1% gross margin and $0.11 to earnings per share. The benefit strengthened the headline results, although Apple's revenue still grew by double digits without relying on the refunds.
The dividend gives shareholders a direct cash return, but Apple continues to devote substantially more money to share repurchases. Its board authorized another $100 billion buyback program when it approved the dividend increase in April.
