What a Buyback Means for Investors

Share buybacks are often used to return excess cash to shareholders while signalling confidence in the company’s valuation. By reducing the number of outstanding shares, buybacks improve earnings per share (EPS), potentially supporting stock valuations. They also provide an exit opportunity for investors at a premium to prevailing market prices.
