Apple’s sudden repatriation of cash and plans to spend billions inside the U.S. economy are thanks in part to President Trump’s tax reform.
The expected return of Apple’s cash has already fueled speculation that Apple might be looking to acquire Netflix.
“The burning question on the Street’s mind is: does Cook make a big bet with this infusion of cash and do a larger deal (e.g. Netflix) to catalyze and jump start its streaming video/content business,” a GBH research note reads.
