Equity [Abstract] |
REPURCHASES OF COMMON STOCK | REPURCHASES OF COMMON STOCK We primarily acquire shares of our common stock by repurchases in the open market. We also acquire shares that are surrendered by employees in payment for the statutory withholding taxes due on the vesting of restricted stock units and the settlement of deferred stock units, otherwise referred to herein as employee surrenders. We issue shares of treasury stock upon the vesting of certain restricted stock units and upon the exercise of certain stock options. The number of shares of treasury stock issued during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, was not material. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 imposed a nondeductible 1% excise tax on the net value of certain stock repurchases made after December 31, 2022, and is included in the cost of treasury stock acquired in open market repurchases. The following is a summary of our open market common stock repurchases, reported on a trade date basis, and shares acquired through employee surrenders:
