How big is it?
Church & Dwight bought back $337M of stock in the twelve months to Sep 30, 2026. At that pace, $1.0B covers about 3.0 years of buybacks.
The amount equals 95% of its free cash flow over the same twelve months ($1.1B).
Its diluted share count is down 1.8% from a year earlier.
An authorization is permission, not a promise: the company can buy less, more slowly, or not at all, and usually doesn't have to say when it buys.
