Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is recognized as one of the world's most elite businesses. And as a result of its success, investors have profited immensely. The consumer discretionary stock has soared 1,070% in the past decade (as of Oct. 2).
But the company's capital allocation policy also favors investors in another minor way, one that brings in an income stream. Here's how many Apple shares you'd need to make $10,000 in yearly dividends.
Missed AI's "Act 1"? Act 2 Could Be 14x Bigger. Most investors think they missed the AI boat because they didn't buy Nvidia in 2005. But according to our ****** ysts, we're only at the end of "Act 1"—the R&D phase. "Act 2" is the global rollout. Continue »
Apple currently pays a dividend that totals $1.08 per share on an annual basis. This means that investors would need to own 9,259 shares to generate $10,000 in yearly income. At the current stock price of $331.22, investors must fork over almost $3.1 million to buy enough shares.
Clearly, Apple isn't a compelling dividend stock. Its dividend yield is extremely low at 0.32%. However, the payout has grown by 89% in the past 10 years.

Sep. 14—GRAND FORKS — UND's coaching staff has gotten its first few looks at the 2026-27 hockey team.
Due to NCAA rule changes, coaches can be on the ice with the team earlier than in the past.
"We're working out some kinks and getting the rust off," UND second-year head coach Dane Jackson said. "The professionalism, preparedness, focus and mindset of our guys has been very good. They all seem to have a real passion to come to the rink and are excited to be working. We've been really happy with the work we've been getting done."
Players initially returned to Grand Forks in July. They skated on their own for about five weeks.
Now, the coaches are working to implement systems and to sharpen details.

ONTARIO — When the Ontario Warriors needed a big play the most, junior Cardae Brown wanted his number called.
In the Warriors' 17-7 Mid-Ohio Athletic Conference victory over the Clear Fork Colts in a battle of unbeatens, the Warriors were stuck with a decision to make. Leading 14-7 and looking at a long third-down play, coach Aaron Eckert was contemplating what to do. Then, Brown piped up.
"Cardae is a tremendous athlete who will have opportunities to play beyond high school," Eckert said. "He came to me and said to put him on a post and lets go win this game and as a coach, you have to listen to your players. He made a catch over two guys and made the game-winning play."
HOW'D WE DO? Tables have turned for NJ Pickers as they make Week 4 football picks

Lone Peak's girls soccer team churned out a dream 40 minutes in the second half at American Fork on Thursday.
In a showdown between the No. 2 and 3 teams in 6A, the Knights ripped off six goals in the second half as they ran away with the 6-0 victory in their most complete performance of the season.
The win ran Lone Peak's winning streak to eight straight, and coach Shantel Jolley said it was nice to see her team finish off a game in regulation after its three previous wins all went into overtime, and two ultimately into penalties.
"The last three games we've had tight games, double overtime, and so we kind of wanted to finally get one where we weren't going into overtime and playing 100 minutes, so that was kind of my challenge to them today," Jolley said.
Even though breakthrough didn't come until the second half, Lone Peak's attack was dangerous from the get-go as it put American Fork's defense under pressure early in the match.

LIV Golf officially filed for bankruptcy this week, hoping to rebuild a self-sustaining world golf tour from the ashes of Saudi Arabia's most infamous sportswashing attempt.
Ever since the Saudis pulled their billions of dollars in funding, the tour has faced an existential crisis. As its 2026 season concluded, it canceled its team championship event and ended the campaign early. LIV then laid off most of its workforce before ultimately filing for bankruptcy.
While LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil has hyped a potential new investor that could save the tour, the reality paints a far different picture.
According to the bankruptcy filing, LIV has until Oct. 13 to meet several criteria for BC Partners to make their investment official. At least half the players with outstanding claims against LIV, including top stars like Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau, must sign on to the new agreement in order to make it valid.
Incredibly, LIV doesn't just owe money to players it forked over millions of dollars to in order to join its rebel tour. It also owes money to other people and entities, including YouTube content creator Rick Shiels. LIV still owes him $1.4 million as an ambassador, in one of the clearest signs of the wasteful spending that doomed the league.

Sep. 7—GRAND FORKS — Eric Schmidt's coaching background is deep in evening kickoffs.
He was an ******* istant during UND's era in the western-based Big Sky Conference. He has coaching stops at Fresno State, Washington and San Diego State.
Now, as head coach of the Fighting Hawks, Schmidt says he doesn't plan to overthink a 9 p.m. central kickoff time at Portland State on Saturday.
UND, 2-0 with a pair of blowout wins in Grand Forks, takes to the road for the first time this season. The Hawks will travel late Friday afternoon with a new No. 6 ranking in Monday's release of the Stats Perform FCS Top 25.
"I think you don't make too big of a deal about it," Schmidt said. "I can remember teams when we were on the West Coast, making a huge deal about it. How they're going to change their sleeping patterns, how they're going to travel, all that kind of stuff. Honestly, it's probably harder coming back. The next week is where really you feel it a lot of times.

Sep. 2—EAST GRAND FORKS — Emma Pieper will enter her junior season at East Grand Forks Senior High with her college decision already made.
The 5-foot-5 Green Wave goaltender committed to Bemidji State over the weekend.
"It's like a relief off my shoulders," Pieper said. "It normally takes longer for goalies, so it was really nice to get all of that done before my junior year so there's no stress the rest of the year."
Four colleges reached out to Pieper, but the campus and coaching staff made the Beavers stand out.
"Their campus is super pretty," Pieper said. "It's on the lake, it's smaller. And their culture is really good, they're all close together. I really like how their coaching staff just meshes together, and they're always upfront with communication."

Aug. 29—GRAND FORKS — High school recruiting has traditionally been the lifeblood of college athletics.
The advent of NIL (name, image, likeness) payments and the transfer portal hasn't changed that. Yet for some basketball teams in the Summit League, the new variables are transforming how coaches recruit high school athletes.
"High school is incredibly important," Oral Roberts coach Kory Barnett said. "It's huge for you to be able to still build out that one, two, three years of getting to know a kid and the ones that really fit you. That's incredibly important. But with where the portal stands ... you have to be ready to adjust."
Coaches nationwide face massive attrition from season to season. UND, for example, will enter 2026-27 with just three returning players. North Dakota State lost eight players to the transfer portal.
Each spring, programs are forced to rebuild on the fly. The portal provides myriad options, with players entering from every division of college basketball.

Indianapolis Colts cornerback Charvarius Ward Sr. is back on the field, but his back injury isn't something he expects to completely leave behind anytime soon.
Ward returned to individual drills Tuesday before participating in a handful of team reps Wednesday after missing roughly two weeks.
Following his return, the veteran cornerback offered a candid **** sment of what lies ahead.
"It's gonna be something I gotta deal with. Something I gotta maintain. Something I gotta manage," Ward said, via James Boyd of The Athletic. "Definitely not gonna be fixed overnight or over the next couple weeks. I just gotta maintain it throughout the whole entire season."

Aug. 26—GRAND FORKS — The UND football program opens the 2026 season at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Alerus Center against a first-time foe in Long Island University.
Here are eight things to know about the Sharks.
LIU featured an offense last season utilizing the quarterback run game, behind co-offensive coordinators Kort Shankweiler and John Roberts.
The Sharks have a new play-caller in 2026 in Maurice Harris, a veteran coach with ties to Hugh Freeze, most recently the former head coach at Auburn.
Still, UND has been practicing for a lot of quarterback run game.

Aug. 26—GRAND FORKS — A year ago, all six home UND football games exceeded 10,000 fans for the first time.
UND officials expect to continue that trend to kick off the 2026 season, although the school will still rely on a walk-up turnout when the Fighting Hawks take on Long Island University at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Alerus Center.
As of late last week, UND was sitting at roughly 3 percent attrition for season tickets compared to 2025. Early this week, that number started to improve, according to UND deputy athletic director Erik Martinson.
UND's season ticket sales have fluctuated in recent years around approximately 5,000 to 6,000, with the North Dakota State home-road matchup often the key variable between totals.
The Bison are no longer on UND's schedule as NDSU moves into the Mountain West Conference this season.

East Grand Forks returns most of its key contributors after making it to the Section 8A **** le game last season.
The forward group includes multiple returning athletes who excelled for the Green Wave track and field team during the spring, such as Beland and Perkerewicz.
"It's fun to watch," head coach Jessica Bina said. "They're just always creating. They're exploiting holes, gaps and seams like there's no tomorrow. I think our midfielders want to get it to them because they're excited about it, too."

Aug. 23—GRAND FORKS — UND wide receiver Sam Strandell started last season with knee injuries on Day 6 of fall camp.
Those injuries lingered. He wore a heavy brace on his knee. Then he had a groin injury in the spring. Then there was an appendicitis operation in the offseason.
After spending the fall and spring on the sideline in 2025, Strandell had a decision to make this summer — retire or stick it out one more year?
"I talked to the coaches the weekend before fall camp and that Friday night me and my dad went on a bike ride through Riverside," Strandell said of his old neighborhood in north Grand Forks. "It was late at night, and I guess I was just thinking back to like when I was a kid in Riverside. I feel like he would really want me to play, and I feel like down the road I would probably regret not, too. I enjoy football. When I'm healthy and I'm playing football, it's the most fun I have."
Strandell's journey back to the field reached a milestone earlier this week when he was honored by his teammates as a two-time captain of the Fighting Hawks.

A newly obtained police report is providing more detail about the scene where The Challenge alum Tyler Duckworth was found dead on Aug. 11. The 44-year-old reality TV veteran was discovered in the bathroom of his Grand Forks, North Dakota, apartment after residents downstairs reported water leaking through their ceiling.
According to Page Six, which obtained a Grand Forks Police Department case report, Duckworth's body was found against the bathroom door while water from an overflowing bathtub was reaching the apartment below.

Aug. 21—GRAND FORKS — Nicole Kopff has been coaching with the Grand Forks Red River girls cross country program for 11 years. After becoming the program's lone head coach in 2023, Kopff will guide her largest roster yet this season.
The Roughriders currently have 40 runners. It's the largest group since 2021, when the program had 42 athletes.
This year's number could grow after other fall sports cut their rosters.
"I really think we've found an identity," Kopff said. "We had two runner-up finishes at state (in 2021 and 2022), we were very, very close. ... I think that set our momentum, that we can have more girls. Girls want to work hard too, and I think the word got out.
"Because our atmosphere is so open and welcoming, we've had a lot of girls who have joined running late that have fallen in love with it and stayed. The reason we're built as big as we are is the foundation of our core values."

Jaxon Kohler has a new lease on college life, and now he has a new college team, too.
Kohler, a former Michigan State big man who gained an extra year of eligibility through a Colorado federal court ruling last month, is transferring to BYU, his agent told Rivals on Thursday night. Kohler is from American Fork, Utah.
Kohler, 23, played four seasons for Michigan State, and last year, he averaged 12.5 points and 8.9 rebounds while shooting 38.9% from 3 and 50% from the floor in helping lead the Spartans to the Sweet 16.
His college career seemed to be over when he played for his hometown Utah Jazz in the NBA's Summer League, before the court order came down that granted the entire 2022 recruiting class a fifth year of eligibility.
That same court order led to Oakland point guard Brody Robinson transferring to Creighton, despite Oakland leaving a roster spot open should the courts allowed him an extra season. Robinson was among several college athletes who sued for an extra year of eligibility.

Aug. 20—GRAND FORKS — With a week to go to UND football's 2026 season opener, the Fighting Hawks have announced team captains.
UND's captains this season will be offensive tackle Trace Thaden, wide receiver Sam Strandell, quarterback Jerry Kaminski, linebacker Michael Devereaux and edge Lance Rucker, the school announced Thursday.
Those five were selected by their teammates following the conclusion of fall camp.
Thaden, a 6-foot-7, 306-pound fifth year from Omaha, started all 14 games at left tackle last season and helped UND allow the second-fewest sacks among Missouri Valley Football Conference offensive lines.
Strandell, a Grand Forks Central product, served as a key special teams contributor last season after overcoming an injury that sidelined the wide receiver for much of the season. He made three tackles and blocked a punt in UND's road win at Tennessee Tech in the opening round of the FCS playoffs.

BYU added a massive late addition to its roster as Michigan State big man Jaxon Kohler announced his commitment to BYU. Kohler is eligible to play this coming season as the state of California lawsuit he was part of received a temporary injunction allowing fifth-year graduated players college eligibility. The NCAA may appeal the decision.
The American Fork, Utah native is LDS and was one of the best big men in the Big 10 last year. Kohler spent all four seasons at Michigan State, going from bench player his first two seasons to starting 69 games his last two seasons for Tom Izzo. Kohler went from a back-to-basket big man his first two year two a stretch big his last season. As a senior, Kohler averaged 12.5 points, 8.9 rebounds, and shot 39% from three and and 87% from the FT line. Kohler was 0-5 combined his first two seasons from three, and as a senior shot 58-139. For all players listed at 6-foot-10 or taller, Jaxon was tied for sixth in college basketball last season in threes made (stat courtesy of X account CBBAnalystics). Listed at 6-foot-10 by Michigan State, Kohler primarily played the four in Michigan State's big lineup but will likely primarily play the five spot at BYU.
Had Jaxon entered the transfer portal back in April, he would be a top 10 transfer this cycle. If he would have entered the portal then, he would have been the most impactful player big man BYU could have realistically landed. Just look at what Kohler did when Michigan State played at Michigan, the national champion with three lottery big men in their frontcourt. Kohler scored 23 points and grabbed 8 boards on 10-13 shooting from the floor and 2-4 from three. He led the Spartans in points and rebounds against the vaunted Wolverine front line. Kohler had 12 double doubles last season and was top 5 in the Big 10 and offensive and defensive rebound percentage.
Kohler takes BYU to a fringe top 25 team to a Big 12 **** le **** le contender. I have Jaxon as the best offensive big man in the Big 12 and one of the three best bigs in the league along with Arizona's Mo Krivas and Houston's Jo Tugler.
Jaxon is not a shot blocker, and I have questions about BYU's defense. He does bring effort and great rebounding prowess on that end, however, and should make BYU one the nation's top offenses. No big that is elite on both ends of the floor stays in college more than one year. Jaxon is a fifth-year senior that will be one of the top big men in college basketball. Out of any big man that BYU has pursued this offseason, none would have been more impactful or lead to more wins that Kohler will.

Aug. 17—GRAND FORKS — East Grand Forks' Brody Johnson will start his freshman golf season next week at Minnesota-Crookston with some momentum.
Johnson continued a strong summer on the course by winning the Grand Forks All-City Men's Championship at the Grand Forks Country Club on Sunday. He was tied for third after Day 1 at King's Walk with a 69 and followed up with a 68 for a two-day total of 137 — edging former Grand Forks Red River and UND golfer Nick Schaefer by two strokes.
Johnson is just 18 years old and played the all-city event for the third time. He finished in a tie for fourth last season.
"It's definitely a confidence booster," Johnson said of his summer ahead of starting at UMC. "There's nothing given to you in this sport and still have to work super hard. There's going to be 10 of us at Crookston, and I think the top six go to the first tournament. It's going to be a grind, but I definitely want to be playing in that first tournament. I know where my game's at, and now I see how the results go."
After Day 1 in the All-City event, Johnson was two shots behind Day 1 leader Matt Norby and one stroke behind Schaefer.

Following Newcastle United losing to Strasbourg on penalties, I played up to the Geordie stereotype by comfort eating a Greggs (Chicken Bake in case you were wondering) and reflected on the previous two hours I'd spent seeing the start of the NUFC Matthias Jaissle Era for myself.
Many questions swirled around my head such as 'Is Dan Burn the right man to captain the club?' and…
'How long will we be able to hold on to Sean Steur for?'
But the one that hit me hardest was 'Is this the worst Premier League pre-season the club has had in recent memory?'
Now before you all grab your pitchforks and torches ready to hang draw and quarter me for yet ANOTHER doomsayer post about Newcastle United before a ball has even kicked, I want to preface this by saying that the 2025/26 season wasn't a truly awful season. Yes there were terrible moments like the poor league finish, the whimpering exit in the Champions League and the crème de la crème of Geordie humiliation in the double derby loss – but objectively, there were also a few positives such as yet another fantastic league cup run with our third semi-final appearance in four seasons.
