Ryder System, Inc. (NYSE: R) announces its Board of Directors has authorized two new share repurchase plans.
Under the new discretionary repurchase plan, Ryder management is authorized to repurchase up to 2.0 million shares of common stock, at its discretion, from October 9, 2025, through October 9, 2027 (two years). This plan is designed to provide management with capital structure flexibility while concurrently managing objectives related to balance sheet leverage, investments in organic growth, acquisition opportunities, and shareholder returns. The new plan replaces the company’s previously authorized 2.0 million share discretionary plan from 2024, which was largely completed.
Under the new anti-dilutive repurchase plan, Ryder management is authorized to repurchase up to 1.5 million shares of common stock, from October 9, 2025, through October 9, 2027 (two years), that have been issued to employees under the company’s employee stock plans since August 31, 2025. This plan is designed to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under the company’s employee stock plans. The new plan replaced the company’s 2023 anti-dilutive plan, which expired on October 12, 2025.
“Consistent execution of our balanced growth strategy is increasing the earnings and return profile of our business while also growing our capital deployment capacity,” says Ryder Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Robert Sanchez. “Ample capacity and our strong balance sheet support capital allocation priorities focused on profitable growth, strategic investments, and returning capital to shareholders. Since 2021, we have repurchased approximately 22% of our shares outstanding and have increased our quarterly dividend by 57%. Our new share repurchase program and the dividend increase we announced earlier this year demonstrate our commitment to disciplined capital allocation.”
Share repurchases under both plans can be made from time to time using the company’s working capital and a variety of methods, including open-market transactions and trading plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased are subject to market conditions, legal requirements, and other factors. As of September 30, 2025, the company had approximately 40.4 million shares of common stock outstanding.
