How This List Is Built

Companies ranked by the cash they spent repurchasing their own shares over the last twelve months, converted to US dollars. Buybacks are the other half of shareholder returns alongside dividends.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a buyback here?: We use the common-stock-repurchased line from the cash flow statement, summed over the trailing twelve months. It is the gross cash spent buying back shares, not netted against any new shares the company issued.
Why do buybacks matter?: Repurchases return capital to shareholders by shrinking the share count, which lifts earnings and dividends per share. Together with dividends paid, they show how much cash a company hands back.
