How big is it?
Capital One bought back $9.1B of stock in the twelve months to Jun 30, 2026. At that pace, $16.0B covers about 1.8 years of buybacks.
The amount equals 54% of its free cash flow over the same twelve months ($29.7B).
Its diluted share count is up 22.8% 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.
