Further Reading from MarketBeat Media Buyback Accelerators: 3 Stocks Boosting Capacity & Spending SpeedWritten by Leo Miller. Published 10/28/2025. 
Key Points - Three stocks have just added more than $17 billion in new buyback capacity. They also look poised to increase their spending.
- Two now boast buyback capacity greater than 11% of their market capitalizations.
- The prospect of higher buyback capacity and increased spending speed is a solid positive signal for investors.
Adding buyback capacity is positive, but it doesn't always mean a company will increase the pace of repurchases. Pace matters because faster repurchases reduce share count more quickly, providing a tailwind to metrics such as earnings per share. Below, we detail three stocks that recently boosted their buyback capacity and could also increase the speed of their repurchases — a two-sided win for investors. Capital One Greatly Boosts Buybacks in Q3, Adds $16 Billion in Capacity Thousands of investors are backing Med-X ahead of its planned Nasdaq listing (ticker: MXRX).
The company's momentum is undeniable – and the next stage of growth could belong to early shareholders.
With $6.4 M in sales, online retail placement through Amazon, Walmart, and Kroger, and expansion into 41 international markets, Med-X is scaling a proven model right as the world shifts toward sustainable agriculture and eco-friendly pest management. NASDAQ Ticker: MXRX Reserved! Buy Now at $4 Per Share First up is one of the world's biggest names in consumer finance, Capital One Financial (NYSE: COF). Like many financial services companies, Capital One has performed well in 2025, delivering a return of just over 27% year to date. The firm released its Q3 results on Oct. 21 and announced a new buyback authorization worth $16 billion, equal to about 11.2% of its roughly $143 billion market capitalization. Capital One is notably accelerating its buyback activity. The announcement follows $1 billion of repurchases in Q3 2025, compared with only $600 million in total repurchases from Q3 2024 through Q2 2025. On the earnings call, CFO Andrew Young said, "At least in the very near term, it's reasonable to assume that we'll be picking up the pace of share repurchases from here." That suggests buybacks could become a more important part of Capital One's capital-return strategy — a positive for shareholders. EPAM May Accelerate Repurchases With Shares Down Big Next is mid-cap IT services company EPAM Systems (NYSE: EPAM). 2025 has hit EPAM hard — shares are down roughly 32%, trading at about one-third of their 2022 peak. On Oct. 21 the company announced a new $1 billion share repurchase program, equal to roughly 11.3% of its ~$8.9 billion market capitalization. The authorization carries a 24-month term, which could encourage relatively swift use of the capacity. In Q2 the firm repurchased about $195 million of stock, its second-highest quarterly total ever. To put the new authorization in perspective: at a pace of $195 million per quarter, EPAM would use a $1 billion program in roughly five quarters; spreading $1 billion evenly over the next eight quarters would require about $125 million per quarter. Maintaining or increasing recent repurchase levels would therefore exhaust the authorization faster and provide a meaningful tailwind to the shares. Still, the company is not obligated to use the authorization in full — or at all. Barclays Boosts Guidance and Announces Unlikely Buyback Last is another major financial name, Barclays (NYSE: BCS). Barclays' shares have surged in 2025, returning just under 60% year to date. Alongside its Q3 2025 results, the bank announced a surprise buyback authorization as it reported better-than-expected earnings. The firm raised its return on tangible equity (ROTE) guidance for 2025 to above 11% (up from 11%). The authorization equals about $670 million, or roughly 0.9% of its $71.9 billion market capitalization, and sits within a larger multi-year capital-return plan. From 2024 through 2026, Barclays intends to return about $13 billion in capital to shareholders (the company also cites a figure of "at least £10 billion"). Those returns will come via dividends and buybacks, with total distributions in 2025 expected to exceed 2024 levels. Because results have been better than anticipated, Barclays moved $670 million of its planned returns forward, signaling momentum in its business that could support further capital returns. Does EPAM's Steep Drop and Buyback Boost Indicate Opportunity? Capital One, EPAM, and Barclays all look like candidates to increase the pace of their buyback spending. Among them, EPAM stands out. Its dramatic share-price decline may present value, particularly if the company follows through on repurchases and accelerates the pace of buybacks.
