- The filing does not specify the execution mechanism—whether open-market purchases under Rule 10b-18, a 10b5-1 plan, or another method. This information is not disclosed in the earnings release or filing.
- How does the Q2 repurchase fit into Select's capital allocation strategy?
- The $621,000 Q2 repurchase is modest relative to the company's scale and capital needs. Select is prioritizing $250–$290 million in net capex for 2026, recent acquisitions, and debt management, with total liquidity of $277.8 million. Share repurchases appear to be a secondary use of capital.
- What was Select's share count at the end of Q2 2026?
- As of June 30, 2026, Select had 127.1 million Class A shares and 11.2 million Class B shares issued and outstanding, for a total of approximately 138.3 million shares. Weighted average shares in Q2 were 123.1 million Class A and 12.7 million Class B.
- Did buybacks impact Select's earnings per share in Q2 2026?
- With Q2 repurchases of only $621,000 against a weighted average of ~136 million shares outstanding, the buyback had negligible impact on EPS. Q2 diluted EPS was $0.17 per Class A share. Any share-count reduction would have been immaterial to reported earnings per share.
