Thor Industries authorizes $400 million share repurchase program

NEW YORK - Thor Industries, Inc. (NYSE:THO), currently trading at $86.92 and showing strong financial health according to InvestingPro analysis, announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized a new $400 million share repurchase program, replacing the previous authorization that was set to expire on July 31, 2025.

The new buyback authorization will remain in effect until July 31, 2027. Under the program, the recreational vehicle manufacturer may purchase shares through open market transactions, privately negotiated deals, or other means at the company’s discretion.

The timing and volume of repurchases will depend on market conditions, cash availability, and other investment opportunities, according to the company’s statement.

Thor Industries President and CEO Bob Martin said the company has repurchased over 3.5 million shares since initiating its buyback program in December 2021. Since June 6, when the company’s trading window opened, Thor has repurchased more than 340,000 shares.

"This decision reflects our unwavering commitment to enhancing shareholder value," Martin said in the press release.

Thor Industries, which describes itself as the world’s largest recreational vehicle manufacturer, has demonstrated ability to generate cash even during market downturns, according to the company statement.

The announcement comes as the recreational vehicle industry continues to navigate market fluctuations following the pandemic-era boom in outdoor recreation and RV sales.
