Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
From time to time, the Company repurchases shares of its common stock under share repurchase programs authorized by the Company's Board of Directors. All repurchases made during the three months ended April 30, 2026 prior to February 23, 2026 were made under the program in effect at the beginning of fiscal 2027. In February 2026, the Company approved a new $30 billion share repurchase program, which beginning on February 23, 2026, replaced the previous share repurchase program. As of April 30, 2026, authorization for $28.2 billion of share repurchases remained under the current share repurchase program. Any repurchased shares are constructively retired and returned to an unissued status.
The Company regularly reviews its share repurchase activity and considers several factors in determining when to execute share repurchases, including, among other things, current cash needs, capacity for leverage, cost of borrowings, its results of operations and the market price of its common stock.
