Each number is a line of the cash flow statement as the company tagged it. "Other, net" is what those lines do not cover (investments bought and sold, other financing and investing lines, and exchange rates); Tickdelta does not estimate it.

Each bar is one fiscal year; its colours add up to what the cash flow statement says the company spent on each line, and the line across it is that year's operating cash flow. Spending above the line was paid from new debt, shares sold or cash on hand. A bar part links to the 10-K it comes from. A line the company did not report is left out, not estimated, so the shares are of operating cash only and can add up to more or less than 100%. Debt repaid is the gross amount, so refinanced debt is counted each time it is repaid. A reading aid, not a grade: Tickdelta does not say whether a split was good. Banks and insurers are left out.
Buybacks, dividends and share count
Year by year · XBRL, each 10-K
| Fiscal year to | Buybacks | Dividends | Diluted shares |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 31, 2026 | $1.1B | $35.0M | 106.90M |
| Aug 31, 2025 | $1.0B | $36.0M | 110.90M |

| Aug 31, 2022 | $696.0M | $48.0M | 144.40M |
From the XBRL of the 10-Ks (cash flow statement and diluted weighted average shares); each year as reported in the latest 10-K that includes it. Concepts: buybacks = PaymentsForRepurchaseOfCommonStock; dividends = PaymentsOfDividends; sbc = AllocatedShareBasedCompensationExpense; diluted_shares = WeightedAverageNumberOfDilutedSharesOutstanding.
Dividend per share, year by year

| Aug 31, 2017 | $0.32 | - | - |
Dividend per share as the company tagged it (XBRL), from the latest 10-K that reports each year, so a stock split is already in it. A change is left blank when the year before is missing or the jump is more than five times.
Buybacks month by month, and what is left to buy
Share buybacks · 10-Q, Part II Item 2, latest 4 quarters
“In July 2025, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of our common stock as publicly announced in a press release on July 17, 2025 (the “2026 Share Repurchase Program”).”
10-Q, Part II Item 2
Spent each month (shares × average price)
| Month | Shares bought | Average price |
|---|---|---|
| May 2026 | 275,761 | $351.82 |
| Apr 2026 | 447,076 | $311.28 |
| Mar 2026 | 273,621 | $257.38 |
| Dec 2025 | 1,227,693 | $224.03 |
| Oct 2025 | 1,335,916 | $204.77 |
| Sep 2025 | 410,588 | $212.30 |
| May 2025 | 12,600 | $143.20 |
| Apr 2025 | 45,349 | $129.43 |
| Mar 2025 | 2,163,956 | $138.01 |
Shares and average price are the numbers in the 10-Q table, row by row; "shares × price" is our multiplication of the two. A row with a price of "-" is an accelerated repurchase paid up front, where the 10-Q does not give a price yet. A 10-Q that counts shares in millions gives a rounded number, shown as "about". Shares withheld for employees' taxes are not in this table. A month that no 10-Q table gives, or that this page could not read with confidence, is not shown.
What it paid for each share it bought back
Price paid · 10-K, statement of shareholders' equity
What JBL paid on average for each share it bought back, each fiscal year: dollars spent divided by shares bought, both from the 10-K.
| Fiscal year to | Shares bought | Spent | Average price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 31, 2026 | 3.20M | $815.0M | $254.69 |
| Aug 31, 2025 | 2.80M | $377.0M | $134.64 |

| Aug 31, 2022 | 11.80M | $696.0M | $58.98 |
Shares and dollars from the statement of shareholders' equity (the cash flow line also counts shares withheld for taxes, so it is not used). Share counts filed before a stock split are put on today's count. A year where the 10-K does not tag both numbers is left out.
