Salesforce Launches Massive Debt-Funded Accelerated Share Repurchase

On March 11, 2026, Salesforce entered into accelerated share repurchase agreements with several major banks to buy back $25 billion of its common stock under its existing share repurchase program, with initial share delivery and cash payments scheduled for March 16, 2026 and final settlement expected in the fourth quarter of 2026. The move significantly scales up capital returns to shareholders and is structured so that the ultimate share count depends on the stock’s volume-weighted average price over the contract period.
