M&T Bank Corporation announced on March 30 that its Board of Directors has approved a new share repurchase program, allowing the company to buy back up to $5.0 billion of its common stock. This authorization replaces the previous $4.0 billion repurchase plan that was established in January 2025 and is now terminated.
The announcement is significant for shareholders and investors, as share repurchase programs can impact stock value and signal management’s confidence in the company’s financial position.
According to M&T Bank, the exact number of shares to be repurchased, as well as the timing, price, and terms of such transactions, will be determined at the company’s discretion and will comply with all applicable regulatory requirements. The bank said it may conduct these purchases either on the open market or through privately negotiated deals.
M&T Bank Corporation is headquartered in Buffalo, New York. Its principal banking subsidiary operates a network of branches and ATMs across the eastern United States from Maine to Virginia and Washington, D.C., while trust-related services are offered both domestically and internationally through Wilmington Trust-affiliated companies.
