The $1B buyback authorization (4.7% of market cap) is a meaningful capital return signal. Monitor actual repurchase execution pace in upcoming filings; if AerCap aggressively buys back shares near current levels, it could provide price support. The program runs through June 2027, so near-term impact depends on management's pace.
