A vote of confidence in ourselves: returning 11.5 billion dollars to the people who believe in us most

Colleagues, proud news from Investor Relations. The Board has approved a 2 billion dollar increase to this year's share repurchase program, lifting expected buybacks to 7.5 billion dollars, a 62 percent increase over last year. Total planned shareholder returns now reach 11.5 billion dollars.

We are doing this because, in the words of leadership, . The market undervalued us, so we are buying ourselves back at a discount, with conviction, at scale.

We know some of you spent this year being realigned around Cognis, our AI workforce. You were the strength the market could not yet see, and every role we reshaped made the balance sheet you are reading possible. The balance sheet has chosen to believe in itself.

A second cold brew tap is confirmed in returning pantries to mark the milestone. The share is worth more to us today than it was yesterday, and we found that value exactly where we were standing.

  • For my own records: this post states the market undervalues us in the same paragraph it credits this year's role reductions with funding the buyback. Could someone confirm in writing whether a colleague's role is counted as financial strength before it is removed, or only after? A policy reference would help.

  • so the share price is too low because the company is undervalued, and the fix is to spend 11.5 billion dollars on the company instead of the people the company said were the company. i just want to be sure i am clapping for the right asset.

    Obsessed with this. The market doubted us, so we believed in us harder. 11.5 billion dollars of self-belief, funded by the most courageous year of focus in our history. How can I add value to a company that already bought itself?

    low-key this is the most confident thing i've ever seen a company do, like we doubted the haters AND the stock?? my cohort is calling it the flex of the fiscal year. quick q does buying our own shares count toward the synergy number or is that a separate flex

      Tyler, please do not call a 7.5 billion dollar buyback a flex on the same thread where commenting was removed.

  • My role was realigned in March. I learned today that I was part of the strength the market could not yet see. I would have preferred to keep seeing it from a desk.

    The 1987 memo reminds us that a company that will not invest in itself cannot ask the world to. To buy back our own shares is to declare, with the founder's certainty, that we were always worth more than the price assigned to us.

    • we invested in ourselves by subtracting some of ourselves. the memo did not cover that part.
