Apple has spent $573 billion on something, can you guess what it is? Common guesses would be R&D, investments, and building factories but the answer is actually stock buybacks. That’s right, Apple has spent a whopping $573 billion on stock buybacks over the past 10 years. That’s over $400 billion more than 2nd place which is Microsoft coming in at $170 billion worth of buybacks. Apple is only doubling down on this strategy either as they're ramping up to purchase nearly $100 billion worth of stock every single year. While this often makes shareholders quite happy, it’s not exactly the best course of action for the economy as a whole. You see, not only do stock buybacks not reinvest the cash into hiring employees, innovating, and creating value in the marketplace but it also wastes capital by artificially pumping up stock prices. This is why stock buybacks were banned for nearly 50 years. Buybacks were banned right after the great depression with SEC regulation but they were unbanned in the early 1980s thanks to Reagonomics. This video explains the history of stock buybacks and why Apple ended up spending $573 billion on buybacks.
