Answer

Based on the information contained in the Onto Innovation Inc. (ONTO) second‑quarter 2025 earnings release, the company did not announce any changes to its capital‑allocation strategy or to its share‑repurchase program.

Why this conclusion is drawn

Information from the release	Relevance to the question
The release focuses on “Second Quarter Business and Financial Highlights,” noting that revenue beat the midpoint of the previously announced guidance range.	This is a performance‑summary item; it does not address capital‑allocation or buy‑back activity.
It highlights the expansion of the Dragonfly® 3Di metrology footprint, with tools shipped to >10 customers across new applications.	This is an operational update, unrelated to financing or share‑repurchase matters.
No explicit statement, bullet point, or commentary is provided about: • Dividend policy changes • New or modified share‑repurchase authorization • Adjustments to capital‑expenditure plans, debt repayment, or other capital‑allocation initiatives.	The absence of any mention in the earnings release implies that no such changes were announced for this quarter.

Typical places where a company would disclose such changes

Management’s Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) or “Capital Allocation” section – where firms outline any new or revised dividend, share‑repurchase, or capital‑expenditure plans.
Press release “Financial Highlights” – often includes a bullet like “The Board authorized an additional $X million share‑repurchase program” or “We will increase our dividend to $Y per share.”
Footnotes to the earnings release – sometimes a brief note about a share‑buyback or capital‑allocation update.

In this particular press release, none of those sections appear, and the only operational and financial details provided are about revenue performance and product‑shipping activity. Consequently, we can confidently state that no changes to Onto Innovation’s capital allocation or share‑repurchase program were announced in the second‑quarter 2025 results.
