buybacks
Corporate share retrieval
Buybacks are repurchases of something previously sold.
Most commonly, a stock buyback is when a company purchases its own shares from the market, reducing the number of outstanding shares and typically increasing the value of remaining ones: The company announced a $10 billion buyback program.
Buybacks can also refer to repurchasing other assets—a gun buyback program offers cash for firearms turned in to authorities.
