What is buyback?
Buyback means that the company buys back its own shares from investors. This reduces the number of shares in the market, which increases its value because the earnings generated from it (EPS) increase. Through buyback, the company signals to its investors that its shares are undervalued and it has full confidence in its future. This increases the confidence of investors in the company. Many times, even if a company has more cash than required, it benefits its investors through buyback.
