Apple Repurchases $14B of Own Shares in 2 Weeks)
The Apple CEO said its history of opting for smaller deals doesn't mean that the company will not pull the trigger on a big acquisition if it makes sense strategically or financially.
"We've looked at big companies. We don't have a predisposition not to buy big companies. The money is also not burning a hole in our pocket where we say, 'let's make a list of 10 and pick the best one,'" said Mr. Cook. "We have no problem spending ten figures for the right company, for the right fit that's in the best interest of Apple in the long-term. None. Zero."
Pas contre de faire une grosse acquisition non plus, si jamais ils trouvent quelque chose d'intérêt.
weeks since reporting financial results that disappointed Wall Street,
Chief Executive Tim Cook told The Wall Street Journal.
In an
interview, Mr. Cook said Apple was "surprised" by the 8% decline in its
shares on Jan. 28, the day after it reported quarterly results, and
wanted to be "aggressive" and "opportunistic."
With the latest
purchases, Mr. Cook said Apple had bought back more than $40 billion of
its shares over the past 12 months, which Mr. Cook said was a record for
any company over a similar span.
"It means that we are betting
on Apple. It means that we are really confident on what we are doing and
what we plan to do," said Mr. Cook, speaking in a conference room at
the company's corporate headquarters here. "We're not just saying that.
We're showing that with our actions."
Share count peaked in March of 2013 at 940 million shares. At the end of
Dec share count fell to 892 million. $14 billion should take out 27
million more. March 2014 share count will be around 865 million shares.
In less than 12 months they have reduced the share count by 75 million
shares = 8%. Last year at this time there were many questions regarding
what Apple was going to do with its cash hoard. The picture is much
clearer today; we at least have part of the answer.
8% c'est un Rachat significatif et à un prix intéressant

Dear Fellow Apple Shareholders,
While we are disappointed that last night ISS recommended against our proposal, we do not altogether disagree with their assessment and recommendation in light of recent actions taken by the company to aggressively repurchase shares in the market.
In their recommendation, ISS points out, and we agree, that “on the spectrum of options for allocating capital, the board appears to have been sluggish only in returning excess cash to shareholders,” and even though the company has in place “one of the largest buybacks in history” we agree with ISS that this effort seems “like bailing with a leaky bucket” when “given the scale of the company’s cash reserves.”
That being said, we also agree with ISS’s observation, taking into account that the company recently repurchased in “two weeks alone” $14 billion worth in shares, that “for fiscal 2014, it appears on track to repurchase at least $32 billion in shares.” Our proposal, as ISS points out, “thus effectively only asks the board to spend another $18 billion on repurchases in the current year.”
As Tim Cook describes them, these recent actions taken by the company to repurchase shares have been both “opportunistic” and “aggressive” and we are supportive. In light of these actions, and ISS’s recommendation, we see no reason to persist with our non-binding proposal, especially when the company is already so close to fulfilling our requested repurchase target.
Furthermore, in light of Tim Cook’s confirmed plan to launch new products in new categories this year (in addition to an exciting product roadmap with respect to new products in existing categories), we are extremely excited about Apple’s future. Additionally, we are pleased that Tim and the board have exhibited the “opportunistic” and “aggressive” approach to share repurchases that we hoped to instill with our proposal. It is our expectation that Tim and the board continue to exhibit this behavior as fiduciaries to the shareholders since they clearly seem to agree that our company continues to be extremely undervalued, and we all share a common optimism with respect to the company’s bright long term future.
Sincerely yours,
Carl C. Icahn

Tu as raison.
