15% fewer shares means 17% higher earnings. You can see that EPS goes from $45 to about $53.
We assume that the P/E stays constant on the higher earnings so the post-tender value is $528 per
share.
When you blend the $528 per share on the 85% of remaining shares with the 15% of shares that are
tendered at $600, you get a combined value to shareholders of $539 per share.
In this scenario, Apple unlocks up to $89 a share in value. To the extent that the market is already
crediting Apple for the cash, the P/E post repurchase will shrink, and the amount unlocked would be
lower.
Just like the one-time dividend, this plan will unlock between $0 and $89 per share. The large
repurchase is a more tax-efficient way for shareholders to get to the same place.
