How big is it?

Stanley Black & Decker bought back $275M of stock in the twelve months to Jul 4, 2026. At that pace, $250M covers about 11 months of buybacks.

The amount equals 19% of its free cash flow over the same twelve months ($1.3B).

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.
