How big is it?
Universal Health Services bought back $1.1B of stock in the twelve months to Jun 30, 2026. At that pace, $1.5B covers about 1.4 years of buybacks.
The amount equals 177% of its free cash flow over the same twelve months ($845M).
Its diluted share count is down 7.8% 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.
