What this measure means
Cash paid to reacquire common stock during the period. This is not an authorization limit or a direct measure of the net change in share count.
Exact concept: us-gaap:PaymentsForRepurchaseOfCommonStock. Each value covers an annual-duration reporting interval, shown with both start and end dates. Different units remain separate; no currency conversion or interpolation is applied.
Coverage of this history
Selected reporting periods run from 2007-01-01 to 2023-12-31. The SEC response was captured on 2026-09-20.
This selected history ends more than two years before capture. Do not treat its final value as a current balance or current annual result. More recent filings may use another accounting tag; inspect the filings before drawing conclusions about the company.

Latest-filed annual-report facts per unit and reporting period at capture time. Duration facts cover 300 to 400 days. This selection can include restatements and is not a point-in-time backtest dataset. Missing concepts are omitted, never zero-filled. Values retain original units and are not currency converted. Extended concepts require compatible unit shapes and at least three reporting ends with changing values within one unit. Constant or incompatible added histories are omitted.
Public company accounting reference, not market prices, returns, an investment recommendation, or ALPHAC performance. Validate a separately constructed return series with the validation API; accounting values are not returns.
Use this in research
A financial period ends before its results become public. Use the filing date as a minimum availability boundary, inspect amendments, and retain the original filing vintage when testing historical signals. This latest-filed selection can contain information unavailable at the time.
These pages do not supply prices, total-return histories, corporate-action adjustments or a tradable universe. Build those inputs separately before evaluating a strategy. A profitable backtest can still reflect selection bias or costs that were left out.
