How TTM buyback spend is measured

Trailing twelve months (TTM) buyback spend is the dollar amount a company spent repurchasing its own common stock over the most recent four fiscal quarters, taken from the financing section of the cash flow statement and shown here as a positive amount of cash deployed. Buybacks return capital to shareholders by shrinking the share count, increasing each remaining share's claim on future earnings.

Buybacks are one of two main capital-return tools — pair this list with dividends paid for the full picture, and with stock-based compensation to see how much of repurchase activity simply offsets new equity grants.
