What is a share buyback?

A share buyback (also called a share repurchase) is when a company buys back its own shares from the stock market or directly from shareholders. A company goes for share buyback for a number of factors as mentioned below.

• To reduce the number of shares in the market;

• To improve financial ratios: With fewer shares in circulation, metrics like earnings per share (EPS) often rise, making the company look financially stronger;

• To return surplus cash to shareholders: If a company has excess cash and limited investment needs, buybacks are a way to give value back to shareholders (similar to dividends).

• To signal confidence: Buybacks often indicate that the company believes its stock is undervalued.
