For the first time in its history, Apple's cash stockpile has crossed the $200 billion mark. Along with reporting record earnings for the last quarter, Apple revealed it had $202.8 billion in cash laying around. In the previous quarter, Apple only reported $194 billion and it has reached $202.8 billion despite giving $13 billion back to shareholders.

The stock market doesn't necessarily care about large piles of cash since what Apple does with that money is what really matters. Apple invests a large amount of money in projects but its accumulation of $202.8 billion shows it could do more.

At the same time as Apple has a lot of money saved up, it also has long-term debts of $47.4 billion. Since Apple doesn't love taxes, it has chosen to keep its money offshore and let its debt increase. The debt has risen $7.4 billion since the end of the last quarter.
