buy back
Reacquire what's sold
To buy back is to repurchase something you previously sold or owned.
Companies buy back their own stock to reduce shares outstanding, often signaling confidence in the company's value.
Individuals might buy back items sold in financial distress, like She saved enough to buy back her grandmother's ring from the pawnshop.
As a noun, a buyback is such a transaction: The company announced a $10 billion stock buyback.
