Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE) has unveiled a fresh stock repurchase initiative sanctioned by its board of directors, permitting the company to repurchase up to $25 billion of its common stock by March 14, 2028. The objective is to enhance value for Adobe’s shareholders, counteract the dilution from stock issuances, and gradually reduce the overall share count.
This repurchase program will involve open market purchases and structured repurchase agreements with third parties.
Dan Durn, Adobe’s executive vice president, and CFO, emphasized Adobe’s robust financial position, stating, “Our new $25 billion share repurchase authorization underscores what a special company Adobe is, with the profitability and cash flows to drive growth and invest in innovation while returning significant capital to our shareholders.”
In conjunction with the repurchase plan, Adobe is scheduled to hold its first quarter fiscal year 2024 earnings conference call today at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time. The webcast will be accessible from Adobe’s investor relations website, where relevant earnings documents are already available.
Additionally, Adobe intends to host an Investor Meeting on Tuesday, March 26, 2024, during the Adobe Summit in Las Vegas. The meeting will include discussions by Adobe executives on the company’s long-term market prospects, strategies, and innovation roadmap, with a focus on artificial intelligence.
