LOW buybacks
How this is computed
LOWES COMPANIES INC reported $211.00M paid to repurchase common stock in the fiscal year ended 2026-01-30 (10-K, accession 0000060667-26-000029). Its cover-page share count rose 0.04% between 2025-08-26 and 2026-08-25.
Kresmion reads the cash paid for repurchases from each annual and quarterly report, derives single quarters by subtracting consecutive year-to-date figures, sets the shares tagged as repurchased beside the change in the cover-page share count, and draws the listed companies linked to the issuer by a customer or supplier disclosure or by a Schedule 13D or 13G filing.

Method and limits
- Cash paid is the cash flow statement line for repurchases of common stock. A 10-Q reports it year to date, so a single quarter is derived by subtracting the previous year-to-date figure of the same fiscal year.
- Authorizations and remaining capacity appear only when the issuer tags them without a program dimension. Most issuers tag each program separately, and the SEC company facts service does not carry those facts, so an empty list does not mean no program exists.
- The monthly issuer purchase table in Item 2 of a 10-Q or Item 5 of a 10-K is not parsed: its layout differs by filer and no reliable deterministic reading was proven.
- The share count is the cover-page count on each annual report, dated a few weeks after the fiscal year end. Other changes are derived as the net change plus the shares repurchased, so they absorb issuance, awards, conversions and timing.
- Supply-chain edges are the customer and supplier relationships read from 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K text that resolve to a listed company. A relationship not disclosed, or naming a private or foreign entity, is not an edge.
- Ownership edges are Schedule 13D and 13G filings, which are required only above 5% of a class. A smaller stake, a position held through a swap, or a filing Kresmion has not ingested does not appear.
- A filer is matched to a listed company by its SEC CIK, or by an exact match of its name to one company's Exhibit 21 subsidiary list. Names listed by more than one company are not matched.
- This shows filed relationships and filed positions. It does not indicate that any company intends an acquisition or any other transaction.
- Coverage: 2,780 companies with repurchase cash flows in SEC XBRL. Counts issuers with at least one tagged payment for repurchases of common stock. Program authorizations are tagged by far fewer issuers in a form the SEC company facts service carries; each page states which parts are available.
- Source: SEC EDGAR: XBRL company facts (cash flow, equity statement and cover page), Schedules 13D and 13G, 10-K Exhibit 21, customer and supplier disclosures in 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K filings (public domain)
