Price paid per share
What NOW 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 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-12-31 | 10.30M | $1.8B | $178.64 | |
| 2024-12-31 | 4.00M | $696.0M | $174.00 | |
| 2023-12-31 | 4.50M | $538.0M | $119.56 |
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.
