How big is it?
Chipotle Mexican Grill bought back $2.8B of stock in the twelve months to Jun 30, 2026. At that pace, $1.3B covers about 6 months of buybacks.
The amount equals 83% of its free cash flow over the same twelve months ($1.6B).
Its diluted share count is down 5.3% 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.
