Shoe Carnival's board has approved a new $50 million share-repurchase program.
The Evansville, Ill., footwear retailer on Thursday said the new program, which is effective Jan. 1, replaces its current $50 million buyback that it set to expire at the end of the year.
Shoe Carnival, which had nearly 27.2 million shares outstanding as of Dec. 4 and sports a market capitalization of about $968.5 million, didn't buy back any stock during the first nine months of its current fiscal year.
