Icahn Tweets About Dinner With Tim Cook
.Apple in April increased its share buyback authorization to $60 billion
from the $10 billion announced last year. However, some investors, including
David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital Inc., have called for the company to
give even more money back to holders because of its huge cash position,
which stood at $146.6 billion at June 29.
Mr. Icahn's public comments on Apple started in August, when he revealed
that he had taken a "large" position in the company and was pressing it to
buy back shares. The Wall Street Journal reported his stake was valued at
more than $1.5 billion.
In a later tweet, he said he was planning to meet Mr. Cook in September,
adding, "Tim believes in buyback and is doing one. What will be discussed is
magnitude."
Shares of Apple, which has a market value of $433 billion, were up 1.6% at $
484.31 in recent trading but are still down 9% so far this year. | s******y 发帖数: 565 | 2 Apple's cash is all overseas. Additional buyback means either borrowing
