How big is it?
Stryker didn't buy back any stock in the twelve months to Jun 30, 2026, so this program would be a restart.
The amount equals 64% of its free cash flow over the same twelve months ($4.7B).
Its diluted share count is down 0.1% 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.
