Why this matters
Share repurchases return cash to shareholders by reducing the number of shares outstanding, which can support earnings per share. Subaru's monthly disclosure shows how far the automaker has moved through a buyback authorized to run until March 2027, giving investors a running measure of how it is deploying its cash. The company still has substantial room left under that authorization.
