Apple Near Tops Among Dividend Stocks

Apple’s (AAPL) recently announced dividend would yield 1.7% at its current stock price, which places the technology company at #6 on the list of firms with solid earnings and share performance, Investor’s Business Daily reported. The company earlier this month announced a quarterly dividend of $2.65 starting this summer, according to IBD.

The payout is hefty, but the continued surge in the company’s stock price is shrinking the yield. AAPL has surged 53% since the start of this year, closing above 617 Wednesday, IBD reported. The stock has risen 77% in the last 12 months alone.
