Trimble Inc., a tech-oriented corporation, has declared on Tuesday its decision to repurchase shares amounting up to $800 million. The company stated that this new authorization immediately supersedes the previous one.
CEO Rob Painter has previously communicated the company's intent to repay $1.1 billion of its debt and buy back $400 million worth of shares using the revenue expected from the anticipated AGCO joint venture (JV) transaction. This transaction is predicted to be finalized in the second quarter of 2024. "Today's announcement retains our original plan and simultaneously increases our forecast for total buyback activities in 2024", stated Rob Painter.
