Post Holdings has approved a new $500 million share repurchase authorization, adding fresh momentum to the company’s capital strategy as it moves into the final months of 2025.
The authorization begins on 27 November 2025 and replaces the previous $500 million program, which the company ended ahead of schedule. As of 25 November, Post had repurchased around $275.2 million under that earlier authorization, which became effective in August.
The new approval gives Post the flexibility to continue buying back shares across multiple channels. Repurchases may take place on the open market, through private transactions, or through structured methods such as forward, derivative, accelerated repurchase or automatic purchase agreements. Any repurchased shares will be held as treasury stock. Post noted that the program does not require the company to repurchase a specific number of shares and can be paused or ended at any time.
Post Holdings is one of the largest consumer packaged goods groups in North America and Europe. Its portfolio spans multiple supermarket categories, including ready-to-eat cereal, granola, refrigerated foods, and food ingredients. The company also participates in the private-label cereal market and serves retail, wholesale and foodservice customers.
Post Consumer Brands remains a major player in branded and private-label cereals across North America. Weetabix continues to lead the UK cereal segment, anchoring Post’s presence in European grocery markets. The group’s refrigerated businesses, Michael Foods and Bob Evans Farms, supply egg products and prepared side dishes used in both foodservice and retail channels.
The new repurchase authorization reflects Post’s capital priorities following sustained activity across its brand portfolio and continued demand in grocery and foodservice categories. The company said the structure of the authorization gives it room to adjust purchases in response to market conditions and internal strategy.
Post Holdings is headquartered in St. Louis and operates across center-store, refrigerated and ingredient categories. Its brands are sold in major supermarket chains in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and other international markets.
