Apple's record $17 billion bond offer (By Sylodium, international trade directory)

Apple's record $17 billion bond offer this week stood, when in 1996 its millions in notes were rated as junk because investors wondered if the company would survive a thrashing by Microsoft. For the first quarter of 2013, the one most recently reported, Apple recorded total revenue of $43.6 billion, and a profit of $9.5 billion. Meanwhile, the week before, Microsoft announced quarterly revenue of $20.5 billion and profit of $6.1 billion. Apple filed a prospectus with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), outlining what numerous media outlets, including the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and Bloomberg reported: That Apple would issue $17 billion in low-interest bonds to finance part of its stock buy-back and larger-dividend strategies.
