United Therapeutics Corporation (NASDAQ: UTHR) stock experienced a 4% increase on Friday morning following the announcement of a $1 billion accelerated share repurchase (ASR) program. The company entered into two ASR agreements with Citibank, N.A., totaling $1 billion, with an initial upfront payment of $1 billion on August 4, 2025. The agreements include a $500 million collared and a $500 million uncollared agreement. United Therapeutics will receive approximately 75% of shares under the uncollared agreement and about 50% under the collared agreement [1].

The repurchase program reflects the company's confidence in its stock's intrinsic value and its ability to generate sustained revenue and cash flow growth. Final settlement for the uncollared ASR is expected in the fourth quarter of 2025, while the collared ASR should settle in the first quarter of 2026. The final number of shares repurchased will be based on the average daily volume-weighted average price during the term of the agreements. United Therapeutics had approximately 45.2 million shares outstanding as of July 30, 2025 [1].

Meanwhile, the broader market has remained relatively flat over the past week, with no significant sector-specific movements. However, over the past year, the market has experienced a 4.8% growth, and earnings are expected to grow by 7.7% per annum over the next few years [2].
