alles ganz schlimm ... Apple morgen Pleite.

Hier ein - leider etwas länglicher - Artikel von heute, der das Rückkaufvorgehen m.E. überzeugend verteidigt:
Apple's Buyback: Here Come The Critics
http://seekingalpha.com/article/...l_rt_article_readmore&uprof=45
Apple made a major announcement last week, which means that the critics have to come out and complain. Apple defended the fall in shares post-earnings by buying back $14 billion in stock. Critics say this is just Apple trying to prop up earnings per share. Yet, if Apple didn't buy this stock back, critics would complain that earnings per share were flat or declining. You can't have it both ways. Critics want Apple to spend more on R&D. Apple is doing that, and R&D spending does lower earnings per share that are so valuable. Additionally, R&D is no guarantee of future success for revenues or profits. Just ask Intel shareholders about the past couple of years. Finally, critics complain that Apple is giving in to Carl Icahn, who holds only about 1% of Apple shares. I would argue that the jury is out on Apple giving in so far. Apple is buying back stock under its $60 billion program, and the company has not announced a large increase to the program yet. Also, Icahn makes some good points, and look at the numbers I presented above. No other name is reducing its share count like Apple, and Apple trades at such a low valuation, despite providing more growth than many other names. Buybacks are also much more valuable to the company long term than just paying out a large special dividend.
In the end, Apple did what it had to do. The company defended its share price. There will always be Apple critics, and these critics or bears just aren't happy with anything. They want Apple to do one thing, but if Apple does it, the critics argue for something else. As I've continued to state, these people can't have it both ways. Apple should be applauded for what it did in recent weeks. This will benefit shareholders in both the short and long term.
Wenn ich den Brief richtig verstehe, zieht Icahn den Schwanz ein, bzw. sieht seine ARP-Forderungen ausreichend erfüllt:
"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."
Wichtiger erscheint mir aber sein optimistischer Blick auf Apple:
"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."
