Analog Devices Inc. said it plans to buy back shares through accelerated repurchase agreements, and updated its guidance for its results for the fiscal fourth quarter.

The Wilmington, Del.-based maker of electronics components said late Tuesday it will repurchase $2.5 billion of stock through the accelerated stock repurchase programs. The company said it will receive 12.2 million shares on Sept. 9, which will represent about 80% of the expected repurchases under the agreements.

The buybacks fall under the company's current repurchase authorization, which has about $10 billion remaining, Analog Devices said.

Analog Devices also raised its fourth-quarter revenue guidance while slightly reducing its adjusted earnings estimate. The company said it now expects to post quarterly revenue of $2.3 billion, plus or minus $70 million. It forecast adjusted earnings per share of $1.69, plus or minus nine cents.

In August, Analog Devices had forecast fourth-quarter revenue of $1.78 billion, plus or minus $70 million, and adjusted earnings per share of $1.72, plus or minus 11 cents.
