How big is it?
Intercontinental Exchange bought back $2.0B of stock in the twelve months to Jun 30, 2026. At that pace, $4.0B covers about 2.0 years of buybacks.
The amount equals 79% of its free cash flow over the same twelve months ($5.1B).
Its diluted share count is down 1.6% 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.
