Like dividends, share repurchases are a way companies can return excess cash to shareholders. Buying back stocks in the open market not only helps support the stock price but also increases earnings per share (EPS) due to a reduced number of shares outstanding.
Texas Instruments Incorporated (NASDAQ:TXN) announced today a quarterly cash dividend increase from $1.15 per share to $1.24, or $4.96 annualized. The board of directors also authorized an additional $15 billion share repurchase of the company’s common stock. The company has approximately $8.2 billion of previously authorized repurchases at the end of June 2022.
Kforce (NASDAQ:KFRC) announced it entered into a corporate stock repurchase plan, which allows the company to repurchase outstanding common stock under a share repurchase program authorized by its Board of Directors during the period from and starting on September 16, 2022, to and including November 2, 2022.
One Liberty Properties (NYSE:OLP) declared a quarterly dividend of $0.45 per share, or $1.8 annualized, payable on October 7, 2022, to stockholders of record on September 27, 2022.
