Insights

Tradeweb adds a sizable, flexible $500M share repurchase authorization.

Tradeweb Markets Inc. has authorized a new 2026 share repurchase program for up to $500 million of Class A common stock. It will activate after the existing $300.0 million program is exhausted, which had $23.2 million remaining as of February 5, 2026.

The authorization permits multiple methods, including open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated repurchase programs using derivatives, Rule 10b5-1 plans and enhanced open-market repurchases. The company states that execution will depend on market conditions, stock price and other considerations, and the program can be suspended, amended or discontinued at any time.

The disclosure also notes that the repurchase program has no termination date and does not obligate Tradeweb to acquire any specific amount of stock, so actual capital deployed will depend on future board and management decisions. The company simultaneously furnished a press release with financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.
