Correction, shareholders don’t keep the profit, the company keeps most of this on its balance sheet which may cause a corresponding rise in the price of Apple’s stock if people did not already anticipate that level of return. (And markets are rational)

The only money that shareholders keep is the dividend per share which was $0.27 out of a profit of $2.01 per share.
