Ball Share Buyback History
A share buyback, also called a stock repurchase, is when a company uses cash to buy its own shares. Ball share buyback history shows the reported cash used for repurchases. Buybacks can reduce shares outstanding, but issuance, stock-based compensation, acquisitions, and stock splits can change the share count separately.
Ball used $1.32B to repurchase common stock in fy 2025. Across the latest 5 reported fiscal years, total share repurchases were $4.42B. The latest reported quarter showed $114.0M of share repurchases.
| Fiscal year | Period ended | Share repurchases |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2025-12-31 | $1.32B |
| 2024 | 2024-12-31 | $1.71B |
| 2023 | 2023-12-31 | $3.0M |
| 2022 | 2022-12-31 | $618.0M |
| 2021 | 2021-12-31 | $766.0M |
| 2020 | 2020-12-31 | $57.0M |
| 2019 | 2019-12-31 | $964.0M |

TickerStat uses SEC-reported cash payments for common-stock repurchases. The amounts describe capital returned through buybacks; they are not a forecast or a measure of the number of shares retired.
Ball shares outstanding trends

What shares outstanding means
Shares outstanding is the number of common shares held by investors at a reporting-period end. The count can change because of stock issuance, repurchases, conversions, acquisitions, or stock splits.
SEC-reported period-end shares
TickerStat displays period-end common shares from SEC filings and adjusts older values to the current share basis when a stock-split conversion ratio is reported directly or evidenced by a later filing’s restated historical share balance. After repeated reverse splits, an old period can represent less than one current-basis share; this is a split-adjusted equivalent, not a literal historical certificate count. Values remain as reported when no reliable split ratio is available. Fiscal periods can differ from calendar years, so exact period-end dates are included.
