The board of Lockheed Martin has approved an interim increase of about $1 billion to the amount available under its share buyback program. The new authorization increases its present $3 billion repurchase plan initiated in October, adds The Wall Street Journal. The move will help the company return at least 50% of annual free cash to stockholders. A new share repurchase program is likely to be considered by the Maryland-based technology company’s board.
