Exxon Mobil Corp. on Tuesday said it has initiated a program to repurchase $10 billion worth of stock over the next 12 to 24 months, ending a more than five-year buyback hiatus.

The Irving, Texas, oil giant, which paused its robust buyback program in 2016 to focus on paring its debt load and paying its rich dividend, in October had said it expected to resume repurchases this year.

Exxon, which has about 4.23 billion shares outstanding, sports a market capitalization of nearly $319 billion based on Monday's closing price of $75.96.
