Ryder System, Inc. (NYSE: R) announced on October 25, 2025 that its Board of Directors has authorized two new share‑repurchase plans. The discretionary plan permits the company to repurchase up to 2.0 million shares of common stock from October 9, 2025 through October 9, 2027, while the anti‑dilutive plan allows repurchases of up to 1.5 million shares issued to employees under the company’s stock plans from the same start date through October 9, 2027.
The new plans replace Ryder’s 2024 discretionary repurchase program and the 2023 anti‑dilutive program, respectively. Management stated that the authorization provides capital‑structure flexibility to manage leverage, fund organic growth, pursue acquisition opportunities, and enhance shareholder returns. Chairman and CEO Robert Sanchez said, “Consistent execution of our balanced growth strategy is increasing the earnings and return profile of our business while also growing our capital deployment capacity.”
Historically, Ryder has repurchased approximately 22 % of its shares outstanding since 2021 and has increased its quarterly dividend by 57 %. As of September 30, 2025, the company had about 40.4 million shares of common stock outstanding. The new repurchase plans are designed to be executed at management’s discretion using working capital and a variety of methods, including open‑market transactions and Rule 10b‑5‑1 trading plans.
