During the thirteen weeks ended October 30, 2022, we repurchased 513,940 shares of our common stock at an average cost of $145.02 per share for a total cost of $74.6 million. During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 30, 2022, we repurchased 6,081,708 shares of our common stock at an average cost of $138.28 per share for a total cost of $841.0 million. As of October 30, 2022, there was $729.0 million remaining under our current stock repurchase program. During the thirteen weeks ended October 31, 2021, we repurchased 1,119,748 shares of our common stock at an average cost of $179.78 per share for a total cost of $201.3 million. During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2021, we repurchased 3,744,767 shares of our common stock at an average cost of $174.30 per share for a total cost of $652.7 million.

Stock repurchased by the Company is typically cancelled after purchasing. However, we hold some shares in treasury to satisfy future stock-based award settlements in certain foreign jurisdictions. We held treasury stock of $0.7 million as of October 30, 2022 and October 31, 2021.

Stock repurchases under our program may be made through open market and privately negotiated transactions at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability and other market conditions.
