How big is it?
Cooper Companies (The) bought back $644M of stock in the twelve months to Jul 31, 2026. At that pace, $3.0B covers about 4.7 years of buybacks.
The amount equals 442% of its free cash flow over the same twelve months ($678M).
Its diluted share count is down 3.3% 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.
