Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed February 25, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Xylem Inc. (XYL) disclosed in a Form 8-K filed under Item 8.01 (Other Events) that its Board of Directors approved on February 25, 2026 a new share repurchase program.
The program authorizes the Company to purchase up to $1.5 billiona of its common stock, $0.01 par value, and has no expiration date. Repurchases may be made through open market purchases or otherwise, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, at such times and in such amounts as do not exceed the aggregate authorization.
The filing states the program does not obligate Xylem to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be suspended at any time at the Company's discretion. For investors, the key takeaway is the size and flexibility of the authorization: a $1.5 billionb capacity with no end date gives management discretion over the timing and pace of buybacks, with no commitment to a specific level of repurchases.
