Methodology
Cash spent repurchasing stock over the trailing twelve months, NET of shares issued, from SEC cash-flow statements. Netting matters: a company that buys back $10B while issuing $9B in stock compensation has returned $1B, not $10B.
Performance columns are price returns: the change in the split-adjusted share price, the way quote screens report it, through the latest print during the session. Dividends are not reinvested. Fundamentals come from company filings via our EDGAR pipeline. Past performance does not predict future returns; this is not investment advice.
FAQ#
- Which company buys back the most stock?
- Apple Inc. (AAPL) runs the largest buyback program of any US-listed company — about $82B of net share repurchases over the trailing twelve months.
- What are the top 10 companies by buybacks?
- The 10 biggest buyback programs (TTM, net of issuance): 1. AAPL $82B, 2. NVDA $55B, 3. CRM $35B, 4. JPM $32B, 5. BAC $25B, 6. V $21B, 7. XOM $21B, 8. MSFT $20B, 9. C $20B, 10. WFC $18B.
- Do big buybacks always shrink the share count?
- Dollars spent don't guarantee shares retired: a company that buys high and issues stock to employees can spend billions while its share count barely moves. For the measure that can't be flattered that way, see the realized buyback yield list, which ranks by shares actually retired.
