This week, Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference will spotlight design and productivity updates. Expected announcements include:
- Redesigned software for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Watch, with minor tweaks for Vision Pro
- A shift to year-based branding - iOS 26, macOS 26, etc. - aligning with 2026
- New internal codenames like “Luck” (iOS) and “Discovery” (macOS)
AI remains a major theme among consumers and investors. Apple’s progress will be closely watched amid rapid advancements from Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI - making it a tough year for “Apple Intelligence.”
What does this mean for dividends?
Apple’s steady dividend growth, backed by strong cash flow and user loyalty, continues to attract investors. The conference could highlight updates that deepen ecosystem loyalty.
- Apple has a consistent track record of annual dividend increases and remains a top holding in Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, which favors stable, dividend-paying firms.
Upcoming dividends
Meta has joined the ranks of dividend-paying tech firms, introducing a dividend last year and raising it this year. It also struck a deal with Constellation Energy to keep an Illinois nuclear plant running for 20 more years, helping to power its growing AI operations with clean energy.
- The last day to buy shares qualifying for Meta’s second quarterly dividend is this week.
Nvidia, now the world’s most valuable company, is also preparing to return more cash to shareholders amid surging AI demand.
Both Nvidia and Meta are top holdings in this month’s Thrive Fund, the EasyETFs AI World Actively Managed ETF, which collects dividends throughout the year and pays them annually.
Furthermore, CuriosityStream, a leading documentary streaming platform, will pay a special dividend, with the last qualifying trading day approaching. AI-driven demand for its content assets continues to grow.
Alibaba also announced both an ordinary and special dividend, reflecting its strong results and “user-first, AI-driven” strategy. Cloud Intelligence revenue rose 18%, with AI products seeing triple-digit growth for a seventh straight quarter.
Other names in this week’s update include TKO Group Holdings Inc, parent company of UFC and WWE; Coca-Cola Company (The), known for brands like Coca-Cola, Fanta, and Sprite; Paramount Global, owner of CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon, and Paramount Pictures; and Southern Sun, a leading hotel group in Southern Africa.
