Companies With Accelerating Buybacks (October 2026)
An accelerating buyback means the share count fell faster in the last twelve months than in the twelve months before. Both changes come from the cover pages of 10-K and 10-Q filings with the SEC, adjusted for splits; a company needs at least a 2% drop in the last year to qualify. The list is sorted by how many percentage points faster the count is falling now.

What is an accelerating buyback?
A company whose share count is falling faster now than a year earlier. It shows a company stepping up its buybacks, often after a new authorization or a cheaper share price.
Which company is accelerating its buybacks the most?
On Buyback Radar in October 2026, Flexsteel (FLXS): 23.4% fewer shares in the last twelve months, 25.9 points faster than the twelve months before.
Why does acceleration matter?
Management knows the business best. Buying back more stock, faster, is a decision made with the company's own cash, and a falling count shows the buying is not just covering stock handed to employees.
