(Reuters) - Carl Icahn said on Tuesday he bought another half-billion dollars' worth of Apple Inc stock, raising the activist investor's stake to roughly over $4 billion.
Icahn said the stock is a "no-brainer," and argued the shares were undervalued. He is trying to get the company to tack on an additional $50 billion in share buybacks.
On Tuesday, he tweeted: "Just bought $500 million more $AAPL shares."
"My buying seems to be going neck-and-neck with APPLE (AAPL.NQ)s buyback program, but hope they win that race."
