AAPL indicators and dividends on FundamentalRadar

How FundamentalRadar's English US-stock page exposes price, P/E, P/B, ROE, dividend yield, financial statements, and source limitations for Apple.

AAPL indicators and dividends on FundamentalRadar

TL;DR

  • The FundamentalRadar US-stock page at /en/us-stocks/AAPL presents price, valuation ratios (P/E, P/B), profitability metrics (ROE, margins), dividend yield, market capitalization, and up to four periods of filed financial statements — all sourced from public data providers and SEC filings.
  • Dividend data includes a rolling 12-month summary and the last 12 paid events, with dates sourced from Apple's investor relations. The page distinguishes between historical payments and forecasts, labelling source freshness clearly.
  • Every indicator carries a reference_date or data_as_of timestamp, a source field, and a snapshot_status badge (verified, divergent, stale, or unavailable) so readers can judge data currency before interpreting any number.

What the page exposes: indicators at a glance

When you open the FundamentalRadar page for Apple — accessible at finaggregate.com/en/us-stocks/AAPL — the system fetches two data structures: a ScreenerAsset record (the overview row used in the US-stocks list) and a richer AssetDetailResponse (the full detail panel). Both are assembled server-side and revalidated every 12 hours (43,200 seconds).

The indicator panel shows the following fields, each rendered from a specific key in the API response:

All values above are dated snapshots, not forecasts. When a ratio is not available, the page renders "—" rather than guessing.

Price and market capitalization

The share price feeds from the same upstream provider as the overview screener row. On the detail page, the code prioritises the ScreenerAsset.price field and falls back to the cotacao_atual indicator inside AssetDetailResponse.indicators — two sources that should agree but may show minor timing differences if one updated seconds before the other.

Market capitalization (valor_mercado) is computed by the provider as share count times last price. For Apple's float of roughly 14.7 billion shares at $308.26, the page shows approximately $4.54 trillion (Yahoo Finance).

Valuation ratios: P/E and P/B

P/E (price-to-earnings) divides the current share price by trailing twelve-month diluted earnings per share. Apple's FY2025 diluted EPS was $7.46 (SEC 10-K), which at $308.26 yields a trailing P/E of roughly 35.4x. The FundamentalRadar page displays whatever P/E the upstream provider reports; at the time of research, Stock Analysis quoted 35.4x, while Yahoo Finance showed 35.39x — a minor variance caused by different calculation windows.

P/B (price-to-book) divides market price per share by book value per share. Apple's shareholders' equity stood at approximately $56.5 billion in the FY2025 annual report, but the ratio on the detail page reads around 42.6x because the provider may use diluted share counts or a more recent quarterly estimate. The elevated P/B is partly mechanical: aggressive buyback programs shrink book equity, pushing the ratio up regardless of operating fundamentals.

A note in the codebase warns that the EBIT margin field was historically mislabelled "EBITDA margin" on some screens. The backend renamed it to margem_ebit to prevent readers from comparing Apple's operating margin against a cash-flow metric it does not represent.

Profitability metrics: ROE and margins

ROE (return on equity) divides net income by average shareholders' equity. Apple's FY2025 net income was $112.0 billion against a book equity base of roughly $56.5 billion, producing an ROE near 198%. Financial data providers compute ROE differently — some use trailing twelve months, others the latest fiscal year, and others use end-of-period equity rather than average equity. This is why the page may show ~132% from Stock Analysis while another source quotes ~148.75%. The discrepancy is not an error; it reflects different calculation methodologies.

Gross margin for Apple's FY2025 was approximately 46.9% ($195.2 billion gross profit on $416.2 billion revenue) (Apple FY2025 Financial Statements). Net margin was about 26.9% ($112.0 billion net income / $416.2 billion revenue). EBIT margin (operating income / revenue) was approximately 32.0% ($133.1 billion / $416.2 billion). All three derive from the FY2025 10-K filing.

Dividend yield

The dividend yield on the page can appear from two paths:

  1. dy — the basic yield from the ScreenerAsset row, dividing annual dividends per share by the current price.
  2. dy_12m / dy_12m_consolidated — from the dividend_summary block inside the detail response, which counts the last 12 months of declared payments and divides the sum by the price used in that calculation.

The page prefers dy_12m from dividend_summary when available, falling back to the screener's dy. If the upstream provider has not yet updated the dividend data, the yield field shows "not disclosed" rather than zero.

Dividends: historical payments vs. forecasts

Apple pays a quarterly cash dividend. The page renders the last 12 dividend events (up to three years of quarterly payments) as a table or bar chart, sourced from Apple Investor Relations.

Q1 2026$0.26Feb 12, 2026
Q2 2026$0.27May 14, 2026

Calendar-year totals: $0.99 (2024), $1.03 (2025), $0.53 through May 14, 2026. Apple increased its quarterly dividend from $0.25 to $0.26 in 2025 and again to $0.27 in 2026. All figures are per split-adjusted share.

Forecasts vs. declared amounts

FundamentalRadar does not invent future dividend amounts. The dividend_summary block reports the last 12 months of paid and declared events, with a total (total_12m) and an event count (events_12m). The dividend yield is derived from that sum. Any future dividend increases are Apple's board decisions — the page does not model or predict them.

Financial statements

The detail panel includes up to three statement types:

  • DRE (income statement)
  • Balanco (balance sheet)
  • Fluxo de caixa (cash flow statement)

Each statement shows up to four fiscal periods with account-level line items. The periods are labelled with the provider's own header (for example, "FY2025", "Q3 2026"). Apple's fiscal year ends in late September, so "FY2025" covers October 2024 through September 2025 — not the calendar year. The fiscal_periods metadata (when available) records the exact start and end dates of each column.

The financial statements section renders the first 8 line items per statement. For Apple, the income statement's top lines typically include net sales (FY2025: $416.2 billion), cost of sales, gross margin ($195.2 billion), operating expenses, and operating income ($133.1 billion).

All financial data comes from SEC filings — 10-K (annual) and 10-Q (quarterly) documents that Apple files with the EDGAR system.

Source freshness and validation

Every data point on the FundamentalRadar page carries contextual metadata that helps readers judge reliability:

Timestamps

  • reference_date: The date the underlying data refers to (e.g., a fiscal quarter end). Distinct from when the scrape ran.
  • data_as_of: The cache-write timestamp — when the provider last wrote the data into the system.
  • scraped_at: The moment the backend executed the scrape.

A common mistake is reading scraped_at as the data's meaning date. Apple's FY2025 10-K covers the year ending September 27, 2025 — even if the scrape ran months later.

Snapshot status

The snapshot_status field has four possible values:

StatusMeaning
verifiedCross-source checks passed; values agree within threshold
divergentTwo or more sources reported different values for the same metric
staleThe data exceeds the freshness window
unavailableNo provider returned a value

A divergent status does not mean a number is wrong — it means two providers disagree, and both values are shown for reader evaluation. The codebase documents a case where one provider reported 0% dividend yield while another reported 12% for the same ticker; the snapshot status flagged the divergence so the reader would not take either figure at face value.

Source field

Every ScreenerAsset record carries a source string identifying the data provider. When you see different figures for the same metric across financial sites, it is almost always because the underlying provider or calculation window differs — not because one site is wrong.

Limitations to understand before interpreting the data

The FundamentalRadar page is an educational tool that aggregates public data. Several limitations apply:

  • No investment recommendations. The page presents numbers; it does not buy, sell, or rate securities. Editorial rules prohibit issuing buy or sell recommendations or promising returns.
  • Indicator variability. The same indicator (ROE, for example) can differ across providers because of calculation-period choice, equity definition, or share-count methodology.
  • Liquidity measure differs by market. For US stocks, the volume field reports share count traded in a single session, while for Brazilian stocks, the equivalent field reports reais traded. The two columns use different units and are never directly compared.
  • 12-hour revalidation. Page data is regenerated roughly every 12 hours. Between refreshes, intraday price changes are not reflected.
  • Dividend data lags declarations. The dividend_summary block updates only after a payment date has passed or a declaration is confirmed by the upstream provider.
  • Fiscal year mismatch. Apple's fiscal year (ending late September) does not align with the calendar year. "FY2025" on the financial statements means the twelve months ending September 27, 2025.

How the page is built: a brief technical note

The /en/us-stocks/[ticker] route is a Next.js server-rendered page with incremental static regeneration. It calls fetchSeoAsset("acoes-us", ticker) at build time and revalidates every 43,200 seconds. The data merges two responses:

  1. A screener row (ScreenerAsset) with headline metrics (price, P/E, P/B, ROE, dividend yield, market cap, margins).
  2. A detail response (AssetDetailResponse) with the full indicator dictionary, dividend history, financial statements, fiscal-period metadata, and validation status.

The component then renders an OpenGraph image, JSON-LD structured data (Article schema), and a breadcrumb path — all using the same data objects.

Perguntas frequentes (FAQ)

What does the P/E ratio on the FundamentalRadar AAPL page represent?

The P/E ratio divides the current share price by trailing twelve-month diluted EPS. For Apple as of August 2026 the page shows approximately 35.4x. Different providers may calculate it differently based on earnings period and diluted vs. basic share count.

How is Apple's dividend yield calculated on the page?

The dividend yield is the sum of the last 12 months of declared per-share payments divided by the share price. The dividend_summary block provides the numerator (total 12-month dividend) and denominator (price snapshot). Apple's yield is approximately 0.35% as of August 2026.

Does FundamentalRadar predict future Apple dividends?

No. The page reports only historical payments that have been declared and confirmed by the data provider. Future dividend increases or decreases are Apple board decisions and are not forecast by the platform.

Why does ROE exceed 100% for Apple?

Apple's ROE exceeds 100% because years of share repurchases have reduced book equity to roughly $56.5 billion while net income reached $112.0 billion in FY2025. A small equity base divided into large earnings mechanically produces an outsized ROE.

How often does the AAPL page data update?

The page revalidates every 12 hours via Next.js incremental static regeneration. The data_as_of and scraped_at timestamps indicate when each data source was last refreshed.

Is the page data reliable for investment decisions?

The page is an educational tool aggregating publicly available data. Editorial rules prohibit investment recommendations. Readers should check reference_date, source, and snapshot_status before interpreting any indicator.
