Apple stock-based compensation trends
Over the last five fiscal years, Apple's stock-based compensation increased from $6.83B to $12.86B, a change of $6.03B. The latest reported quarter, Q3 2026, shows $3.40B.
What stock-based compensation means
Stock-based compensation is the expense associated with equity awards such as restricted stock and employee options. It is a non-cash expense when recognized, but it can dilute existing shareholders unless offset by share repurchases.
SEC-reported stock-based compensation
TickerStat standardizes share-based compensation reported in company SEC filings. The history shows recognized compensation expense or its cash-flow-statement adjustment, not the grant-date value of new awards or a forecast of future dilution. Fiscal periods can differ from calendar years, so exact period-end dates are included.
