The additional authorization is effective for a three‑year period beginning June 1, 2026.

Key Details

• Board approval date: June 1, 2026.
• Increase: $2.0 billion, raising total program authorization to $31.75 billion.
• Effective period: three years beginning June 1, 2026.
• Repurchases method: open‑market buys through a broker‑dealer at prevailing market prices; company may increase, modify, suspend, or terminate the program at any time without prior notice.

Why It Matters A larger repurchase authorization gives O'Reilly flexibility to buy back shares, which can reduce outstanding share count and potentially support earnings per share and shareholder value over time. The company did not commit to a specific purchase amount or schedule, so actual buybacks (if any) will depend on market conditions and corporate considerations.
