Amazon disclosed Thursday that it has received $600 million in tariff refunds after the Supreme Court ruled that many of President Donald Trump's levies were illegal, and said it expects to return some of that cash to customers.
Major companies including Apple , Walmart , Costco , Home Depot and General Motors said they would apply for refunds.
Trump told CNBC in April he'd "remember" companies that don't seek refunds, when asked whether companies, including Amazon, might be avoiding doing so because they're worried about offending him.
Apple said Thursday its earnings per share were lifted 5%, or 11 cents, by tariff refunds in the third quarter.
Amazon previously hadn't said whether it intended to apply for the refunds.
