Tyco International Ltd. (NYSE: TYC) has decided to re-join the stock buyback regime seen elsewhere now that it has been a year since its break-up. The company has announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a new share buyback program to repurchase up to $1 Billion of the company’s common stock.
The company expects to repurchase shares from time to time based on market conditions. This new buyback program is in addition to the existing $1 Billion buyback program that was authorized in September 2007. That existing plan is nearing completion.

As far as the size of this buyout and how it compares to the company overall, it is a decent sized buyback. Tyco had 2007 revenues of more than $18 Billion and its market cap is about $18.7 Billion.
