The group also said it will replace an existing share repurchase program with a new US$18bn authorization.

Elsewhere, Comcast Corp (NASDAQ:CMCSA) shares added 1.46% to US$39 after the bell. The media company announced it had now dropped its bid to acquire 21st Century Fox (NASDAQ:FOXA), leaving Walt Disney Co (NYSE:DIS) as the final contender in the battle.

The latter saw shares nudge 0.63% higher after the bell, while Twenty-First Century Fox shares added 0.65% to US$33.88.

Meanwhile, Casey's General Stores Inc (NASDAQ:CASY) saw shares shed 3.62% to US$116.86.
