Stockholders' Equity Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock
As of January 31, 2026, there were 212 million shares of Class A common stock, and 47 million shares of Class B common stock outstanding. The rights of the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to 10 votes per share. Each share of Class B common stock can be converted into a share of Class A common stock at any time at the option of the holder. All of our Class A and Class B shares will convert to a single class of common stock upon the date that is the first to occur of (i) October 17, 2032, (ii) such time as the shares of Class B common stock represent less than 9% of the outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock, (iii) nine months following the death of both Mr. Duffield and Mr. Bhusri, and (iv) the date on which the holders of a majority of the shares of Class B common stock elect to convert all shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock into a single class of common stock.
Share Repurchase Programs
We repurchase shares of our Class A common stock under share repurchase programs authorized by our Board of Directors. Under these programs, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions, we may repurchase shares of our Class A common stock through open market purchases, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means. The timing and total amount of share repurchases will depend upon business, economic, and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, and other considerations. The share repurchase programs have no expiration date, may be suspended or discontinued at any time, and do not obligate us to acquire any amount of Class A common stock.
Share repurchase programs authorized by our Board of Directors that were in effect during the periods presented were as follows (in millions):

Employee Equity Plans
In fiscal 2023, our stockholders approved the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (“2022 Plan”), with a reserve of 30 million shares for issuance. The 2022 Plan serves as the successor to our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (“2012 Plan” and, together with the 2022 Plan, “Stock Plans”). Awards that are granted on or after the effective date of the 2022 Plan will be granted pursuant to and subject to the terms and provisions of the 2022 Plan. Prior awards granted under the 2012 Plan continue to be subject to the terms and provisions of the 2012 Plan. Shares that are forfeited or withheld in connection with the net share settlement of RSUs are added to the reserves of the 2022 Plan. As of January 31, 2026, 13 million shares of Class A common stock were available for future grants under the 2022 Plan.
In fiscal 2023, our stockholders approved the Amended and Restated 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2012 ESPP”). Under the 2012 ESPP, eligible employees are granted options to purchase shares at the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the stock at the time of grant or 85% of the fair market value at the time of exercise. Options to purchase shares are granted twice yearly on or about June 1 and December 1, and are exercisable on or about the succeeding November 30 and May 31, respectively. As of January 31, 2026, 2 million shares of Class A common stock were available for issuance under the 2012 ESPP.
Restricted Stock Units and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
The Stock Plans provide for the issuance of RSUs and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) to employees and non-employees. RSUs generally vest over four years. Activity during fiscal 2026 was as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

(1)Includes approximately 42 thousand PSUs granted to executives in April 2025. The PSUs are subject to vesting based on the achievement of annual performance-based conditions determined at the beginning of each fiscal year and a three-year service-based condition. The PSUs will vest at the end of the three-year service period, with the number of shares vesting ranging from 0% to 150% of the target, based on the average attainment of the annual performance conditions.
(2)Includes shares withheld in connection with the net share settlement of RSUs.
(3)Represents the difference between the target PSUs granted and the actual PSUs awarded based upon the achievement level of performance measures.
The weighted-average grant date fair value of RSUs granted during fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024 was $219.23, $252.18, and $197.22, respectively. The total fair value of RSUs vested as of the vesting dates during fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024 was $952 million, $1.1 billion, and $1.4 billion, respectively.
As of January 31, 2026, there was a total of $2.5 billion in unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to unvested RSUs and PSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately three years.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
For fiscal 2026, approximately 1 million shares of Class A common shares were purchased under the 2012 ESPP at a weighted-average price of $198.12 per share, resulting in cash proceeds of $192 million.
The weighted-average grant date fair value for the ESPP was $60.99, $57.80, and $57.90 per share during fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. These values were calculated using the following assumptions:
