Looking for a good reason to buy Apple [AAPL 389.76 5.14 (+1.34%) ]? We may have uncovered a whopper. According to Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty the tech titian could soon attract a truckload of new capital - with the announcement of a dividend! “It’s now it’s more likely than ever,” she says. Here's why.
With Apple on the edge of going from the #2 to the #1 largest US company by market cap, Huberty thinks a dividend could be just the catalyst to push Apple permanently into the top spot – and bump Exxon onto the back burner. But the quest to be #1 comes with a price. If they want to secure that top position, “it’s important the company looks for ways to expand its investor base,” Huberty explains. “And a return of cash in the form of a dividend would bring value investors into the stock.”
