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 $45B, 3. CRM $37B, 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.

Methodology#

Buybacks are trailing-twelve-month payments to repurchase common stock, NET of stock issued over the same window, from the cash-flow statement — computed from SEC EDGAR filings and refreshed as companies file quarterly. Universe: US-listed stocks, share classes deduplicated. Returns are total returns (dividends reinvested), updated daily. Past performance does not predict future returns; not investment advice.
