Apple Ranks 5th on the 2015 Fortune 500 List [Video]

Apple has been ranked fifth on the 2015 Fortune 500 List. Companies are ranked by total revenues for their respective fiscal years. Included in the survey are companies that are incorporated in the U.S. and operate in the U.S. and file financial statements with a government agency. Apple was also ranked 5th on the list last year.After a bumpy start to 2014, Apple’s stock finished the year up 40%, adding nearly $200 billion to the company’s market value. A product pipeline that’s gotten Apple fanboys lining up all over again has certainly helped reenergize revenue growth: In addition to unveiling new categories like Apple Pay and Apple Watch, the company launched the iPhone 6, selling a record-breaking 10 million units in the first three days. As CEO Tim Cook recently told investors: “It’s tough to find something in the numbers not to like.” The normally low-profile Cook is breaking new ground in other ways too—in October, 2014 he came out as the first openly gay CEO of a Fortune 500 company.

Apple’s First Bond Sale in Japan Raises $2 Billion

Apple has raised 250 billion yen ($2 billion) in its first ever Japanese bond sale, according to a filing with the SEC. It was previously reported that Apple was considering issuing 200 billion yen ($1.62 billion) in bonds as soon as June.Despite having plenty of cash, Apple still issues bonds so that it can procure funds at low interest rates, which helps create a tax shield that generates shareholder value. Much of Apple’s cash is held overseas, so the company borrows money to fund its stock buyback program and more. Apple just recently issued $6.5 billion in bonds in February. The bond has an extremely low interest rate of .35%, paying semi-annually on June 10 and December 10. The bond matures on June 10, 2020.Share Article:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Email,   Reddit,   Digg,   Delicious,   StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Newsletter,   App Store,   YouTubeAdvertise Here

Additionally, Tidal is receiving Ticketmaster integration that will let users access exclusive concert tickets.
