24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
The prior buyback authorization in Jan 2025 coincided with a modestly positive next-day move, indicating historically constructive reactions to repurchase announcements.
Over the past year, MTB’s capital return story has featured recurring repurchase authorizations and steady dividends. In Jan 2025, the company unveiled a $4.0 billion buyback that replaced a prior $3.0 billion program, and the stock rose about 0.71% the next day. Since then, MTB has highlighted record 2025 earnings of $2.88 billion and continued common dividends of $1.50 per share. Today’s new $5.0 billion authorization extends that pattern of using excess capital for shareholder returns.
