Lam Research said on Thursday, November 5, that its board had approved a new share repurchase authorization of up to USD 25 billion and declared a quarterly dividend of USD 0.33 per share. The announcement was carried by PR Newswire.

What the authorization changes

The new authorization supplements the remaining balance from Lam Research's prior program. The company may repurchase shares through open-market or private transactions, including derivative contracts and structured share repurchase agreements.

The program has no termination date, may be suspended or discontinued at any time, and does not obligate Lam Research to acquire any amount of common stock. The authorization therefore expands the company's capital-return capacity without setting a purchase timetable or guaranteeing that the full amount will be spent.

Dividend timetable and investor focus

The declared dividend is scheduled for payment on January 6, 2027, to shareholders of record on December 2, 2026. Future dividend payments remain subject to review and approval by the board.
