stock buyback
Corporate share reacquisition
A stock buyback is when a company purchases its own shares from the open market, reducing the number of shares available to investors.
This typically raises the price of remaining shares and increases earnings per share.
Companies use buybacks to return cash to shareholders, signal confidence in their stock, or offset dilution from employee stock options: The tech giant announced a $50 billion stock buyback.
