CrowdStrike authorizes $500M for stock buybacks

How big is it?

CrowdStrike bought back $176M of stock in the twelve months to Jul 31, 2026. At that pace, $500M covers about 2.8 years of buybacks.

The amount equals 31% of its free cash flow over the same twelve months ($1.6B).

Its diluted share count is up 4.5% 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.
