Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation
 
Accounting for stock-based compensation requires that the cost resulting from all stock-based payments be recognized in the financial statements based on the grant date fair value of the award.  Our stock-based compensation consists of stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs).

We recognized pretax stock-based compensation expense of $86 million and $131 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $75 million and $119 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

The following table illustrates the type and fair value of the stock-based compensation awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

The fair value of our stock options was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following table provides the assumptions used in determining the fair value of the stock-options granted in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

The PRSUs granted in 2025 and 2024 contain a market condition and a Monte Carlo simulation was utilized to estimate the fair value of the awards. The following table provides the assumptions used in determining the fair value of the PRSUs granted in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

As of June 30, 2025, the total remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested stock-based compensation awards was $292 million, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining requisite service periods of approximately 1.9 years.
