How big is it?
GE Vernova bought back $6.4B of stock in the twelve months to Sep 30, 2026. At that pace, $20.0B covers about 3.1 years of buybacks.
The amount equals 117% of its free cash flow over the same twelve months ($17.1B).
Its diluted share count is down 2.5% 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.
