Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has more cash than it (or anyone else) knows what to do with. With a net cash -- cash minus debt -- position of $153 billion, Apple plans to pay out another $29 billion in dividends by March 2018. Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) is still opening new stores at a breakneck pace, expecting to open 1,800 more this year alone. It already has 23,921 stores worldwide, but comparable-store sales continue to climb, up 6% globally last quarter. Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) investors received not one but two dividend increases last year after the media company switched to semi-annual payments from its usual single payment at the end of the year. But the growth isn't over yet.
