Issuer Repurchases of Equity Securities
From time to time, the Company repurchases shares of its common stock under share repurchase programs authorized by the Company's Board of Directors. Any repurchased shares are constructively retired and returned to an unissued status. All repurchases during fiscal 2026 were made under the $20.0 billion share repurchase program approved in November 2022, of which authorization for $4.0 billion of share repurchases remained as of January 31, 2026. In February 2026, the Board of Directors approved a new $30.0 billion share repurchase authorization, which has no expiration date or other restrictions limiting the period over which the Company can make repurchases, and beginning February 23, 2026, replaced the remaining capacity under the prior authorization.
Share repurchase activity under our share repurchase programs, on a trade date basis, for each month in the quarter ended January 31, 2026, was as follows:
| Fiscal Period | Total Number of Shares Repurchased | Average Price Paid per Share (in dollars) | Total Number of Shares Repurchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs | Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Repurchased Under the Plans or Programs**(1)** (in billions) | ||||||||||||||||||||||
