I laughed when I saw this in the press release. Anyone conservative enough not to buy a stock unless it provides a decent dividend would not buy Apple. Apple is not a value stock.

Wow, a downvote brigade for calling Apple a growth stock? There must be lots of MS fanboys here, or Apple fanboys who don't know that the opposite of "value stock" is "growth stock".

With a P/E of 16.87, AAPL a growth stock. Or overvalued. With a P/E of 11.71, MSFT is value not growth. With a P/E of 135.1, AMZN is ... pricy.
