#1 - Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) will be one of the biggest corporate winners as a result of tax reform. The iPhone maker should be able to repatriate about $215 billion in overseas profit to the United States. It will also save about $2.2 billion in taxes it would have otherwise paid. Not only will Apple have all that additional cash on h and, it also has free cash flow of more than $50 billion each year.
What's especially interesting about Apple's stock is that it is currently only yielding about 1.5%, based on its annual dividend per share of $2.52. Apple could actually afford to return its entire tax savings to investors in the form of an increased dividend, boosting it by $0.44 per share and raising their dividend yield to about 1.725%.
