Apple will pay its second dividend of 2026 on May 14, with an ex-dividend date of May 11. The dividend will increase slightly to $0.27 per share from $0.26, marking the first raise since May 2025. Despite the dividend growth, Apple's returns are mainly driven by stock price appreciation rather than dividend income, reflecting its strategy of prioritizing capital gains and share buybacks over high dividend yields. Investors with 100 shares will receive $27 in dividends next week, contributing modestly to total returns this year.
