- Vt71fcAqt7 2y agoIt's not a dividend at all. A dividend gives the share holders money. This (potentially) increases the value of the share holders stocks. But the most important difference here is the Apple can sell these shares again if they need to later and they cannot get back the money they spend of dividends. If Apple feels that the market price of their stock is low and they have nothing better to do with the money then it makes sense to buy these shares.
