We also returned over $30 billion to shareholders during the quarter as we maintain our target of reaching a net cash neutral position over time."Cook said that the company is also focused on how it can help the communities it is a part of, build back strongly and equitably, "through efforts like our Racial Equity and Justice Initiative as well as our multi-year commitment to invest $350 billion throughout the United States."( With inputs from IANS )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
