STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM AND DIVIDENDS | STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM AND DIVIDENDS Stock Repurchase Program In August 2021, our Board approved a new $1,250,000,000 stock repurchase authorization, which replaced our existing program and superseded the remaining amount outstanding under our prior stock repurchase authorization. During the thirteen weeks ended October 31, 2021, we repurchased 1,119,748 shares of our common stock at an average cost of $179.78 per share for a total cost of approximately $201,312,000 under our prior and new stock repurchase programs. During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2021, we repurchased 3,744,767 shares of our common stock at an average cost of $174.30 per share for a total cost of approximately $652,699,000 under our prior and new stock repurchase programs. As of October 31, 2021, there was approximately $1,057,485,000 remaining under our current stock repurchase program. During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2020, we repurchased 1,119,335 shares of our common stock at an average cost of $97.42 per share for a total cost of approximately $109,048,000. As of October 31, 2021 and November 1, 2020, we held treasury stock of $711,000 and $598,000, respectively, that represents the cost of shares available for issuance that are intended to satisfy future stock-based award settlements in certain foreign jurisdictions. Stock repurchases under our program may be made through open market and privately negotiated transactions at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability and other market conditions. Dividends In August 2021, our Board approved a 20.3% increase in our quarterly cash dividend from $0.59 to $0.71 per share. We declared cash dividends of $0.71 and $0.53 per common share during the thirteen weeks ended October 31, 2021 and November 1, 2020, respectively. We declared cash dividends of $1.89 and $1.49 per common share during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2021 and November 1, 2020, respectively. Our quarterly cash dividend may be limited or terminated at any time.
