Additionally, in November 2025, our Board of Directors approved a new $1.0 billion stock repurchase authorization (together with the September 2024 authorization, “our program”), which will become effective once our September 2024 authorization is fully utilized. During fiscal 2025, we repurchased 4,888,240 shares of our common stock at an average cost of $174.70 per share and a total cost of $854.0 million. As of February 1, 2026, we had a total of $1.3 billion in stock repurchase authorization remaining under our program.
Stock repurchases under our program may be made through open market and privately negotiated transactions at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability and other market conditions. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice.
