Share Buybacks

Pro

Returns share-repurchase activity per period: cash spent on buybacks (from the cash-flow statement), shares and dollar value actually repurchased, the average price paid per share, and the program view (board-authorized amount, remaining headroom, and the derived amount consumed).

Filers report execution in one of three XBRL concept families; the response serves ONE per period and names it in repurchased.style:

stylemeaning
retiredShares retired on repurchase (StockRepurchasedAndRetired...).
treasuryShares moved into treasury at cost (TreasuryStock...Acquired).
repurchasedThe generic during-period pair.

Average price per share. The filer's tagged weighted average (TreasuryStockAcquiredAverageCostPerShare) always wins. When absent, it is derived as value / shares STRICTLY within the served family (cross-family ratios mismatch, e.g. a tax-withholding value against program shares) and flagged avgPriceDerived: true.

Monetary values default to US dollars (currency parameter as on the statements endpoints: flows at the period-average rate, balances at spot, fx audit block, currency=original for as-filed). Share counts are never converted.

What this data can tell you:

  • Average price paid vs the current share price.
  • Remaining authorization headroom.
  • Repurchase value relative to market cap (buyback yield).
  • Share-count effect net of stock-compensation issuance.

Data honesty notes:

  • Quarterly series is first-class (repurchases are 10-Q facts). Annual flow lines never masquerade as a Q4 quarter.
  • The per-month issuer-purchases table (10-Q Part II Item 2) is an HTML table, not XBRL; quarterly is the granularity the data supports.
  • Program authorization figures are tagged by far fewer filers than execution figures; absent fields are omitted, not null.

Query parameters

symbolstring

Stock ticker symbol. Identify the entity by exactly one of: symbol, cik, cusip, composite_figi, or share_class_figi. At least one is required.

cikinteger

SEC Central Index Key (CIK).

cusipstring

CUSIP identifier (9 characters).

composite_figistring

Composite OpenFIGI identifier.

share_class_figistring

Share-class OpenFIGI identifier.

currencystring

Currency to return all monetary values in (default USD).

Pass any ISO 4217 code from the table below, or original to disable conversion and receive every figure in its own as-reported currency. With a target currency, any line item not already in it is converted on the fly at the period-appropriate rate (spot for balance-sheet instants, period-average for income/cash-flow flows); values already in the target pass through untouched (no round-trip), and the per-period fx block records the rate(s) applied. A currency that cannot be priced for a given period leaves those facts native and flags them under fx.unconverted.
