Perion Network shares were up 7% to $8.79 after the company said its board of directors authorized a $50 million expansion of its previously authorized share-repurchase program of $75 million of its outstanding shares.
The technology company said that as of Dec. 31, it has repurchased a total of 5.2 million shares, at a total amount of $46.8 million.
The expansion of the program, to $125 million, is subject to the issuance of the Israel-based company's audited annual financial report for the year 2024.
The expanded program continues to have an indefinite term.
The original buyback program of $50 million was launched in February 2024, and increased by $25 million in April 2024.
