Apple is paying a cash dividend of $0.26 per share after the Q3 results reflected strong results with iPhone sales exceeding expectations.
Even though Apple's fiscal Q3 tends to be one of the quiet ones, it was one to watch in 2025 thanks to ongoing tariff worries. Apple has managed to evade some of the pricing concerns by moving imports to India from China, and the complex supply chain has also helped reduce costs.
These strategies have resulted in a strong quarter, lifted mostly by $44.6 billion in iPhone revenue, which is way up from $39.3 billion in the year-ago quarter. Apple's results have allowed a cash dividend of $0.26 per share of the company's common stock.
Those that hold Apple's stock before the close of business on August 11 will be paid on August 14. The dividend for the year-ago quarter was $0.25 per share for comparison.
An increase in the cash dividend wasn't guaranteed after Apple warned against potential revenue hits due to tariffs. It expected a $900 million hit to its bottom line when it revealed the Q2 results.
More color will be provided during the earnings call, which takes place at 5 p.m. Eastern. Apple CEO Tim Cook and CFO Kevan Parekh will share details on the results and answer questions.
