• Shares repurchased through May 15, 2026: 3,989,969 shares; total spent ≈ $69.7 million.

Why It Matters
This update shows Coeur is actively returning capital to shareholders and has used only a small portion of its newly expanded $750M buyback authorization so far. Share repurchases reduce the number of shares outstanding, which can increase earnings per share and support the stock price over time, all else equal. The large remaining authorization ($680.3M) means the company has significant capacity for additional buybacks, but investors should watch future 8-Ks or disclosures for the pace of repurchases and any impact on the company’s cash position.
