[Commerce Bancshares](https://www.bullished.co/tag/cbsh/), the holding company for Commerce Bank, said its board approved a repurchase program covering [up to 7,500,000 shares](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000022356/000002235626000211/cbsh-20261030.htm?ref=bullished.co) of its common stock, according to an [8-K](https://www.bullished.co/learn/8-k-items-explained/) and a press release dated Tuesday.

## A combined cap, not an add-on

The 7,500,000-share ceiling [counts the amount still unused](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000022356/000002235626000211/cbsh-20261030.htm?ref=bullished.co) from the prior authorization on April 24, 2026\. The old remainder is folded into the new total rather than stacked on top of it.

The company's 8-K lists October 30, 2026 as the date of the earliest event reported.
