In Nasdaq trading today shares of Apple Inc. rose $9.15, or 1.43%, to hit a new all-time intrday high of $645.49.
Yesterday, Apple dispersed its first quarterly dividend in some 17 years: $2.65 per share. Apple is also due to commence a $10 billion share buyback in the company’s fiscal 2013, which begins on September 30, 2012. The repurchase program is expected to be executed over three years, with the primary objective of neutralizing the impact of dilution from future employee equity grants and employee stock purchase programs.
Apple, the world’s most valuable company, currently has a market value of $604.74 billion.

How specific are those figures??
Why would you calculate the share price multiple? It’s meaningless.
That’s great and all. Still…hope that that is not all we/Apple are concerned about.
Investors can sense the iPad mini is near. The next big evolutionary step for tablets will create shock waves throughout the industry.
It’s already here, it’s call an iPod touch or iPhone.
Too small.
Like John Gruber said, the iPad mini is more like an iPad Air, a tablet stripped further to its bare essentials that allows for an ultra thin, ultra light experience that simply can’t be achieved with the pricier, more feature-rich iPad. The iPad mini will be to the iPad what the MacBook Air is to the MacBook Pro.
Those of you who still shun the concept of an iPad mini will hopefully see the light when you finally hold and use one in your hands.
I’ve altered my jacket pocket to 7.85 diagonal inches in anticipation.
You forgot to allow for the bezel.
It’s all well and good that Apple’s share price is up today, but it has to stay up that high for at least a week for it to mean anything. A one day rally is nothing more than a tease.
It’s not a one day rally, since it’s a Friday. The stock price will stay this high for at least 3 days.
The current rally began August 1.
