Share Repurchases
In February 2019, our Board of Directors authorized $15.0 billion in share repurchases, of which approximately $3.7 billion remained available as of May 2, 2021. In May 2021, our Board of Directors approved a $20.0 billion share repurchase authorization that replaced the February 2019 authorization. This new authorization does not have a prescribed expiration date.
In March 2020, we suspended our share repurchases to enhance our liquidity position during the COVID-19 pandemic. We resumed share repurchases in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and repurchased 13 million shares of our common stock for $4.0 billion through open market purchases. In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we repurchased 3 million shares of our common stock for $597 million through open market purchases prior to the suspension of share repurchases. These amounts may differ from the repurchases of common stock amounts in the consolidated statements of cash flows due to unsettled share repurchases at the end of a period.
