Buyback The term buyback refers to a strategy companies use to buy their outstanding shares. Buybacks are used to reduce the number of shares available on the open market. Shares are canceled before share capital is reduced. Companies buy back shares for different reasons, such as to increase the value of remaining shares available by reducing the supply or to prevent other shareholders from taking a controlling stake.

Some S&P 500 companies executed $827 Bn of share buybacks last year, but they underperformed the index So did the dividend aristocrats. Here's are the possible reasons: Disclaimer: Views are my own ➡️ 2023 was about growth stocks, those who could deploy shareholder capital into high growth visions, buybacks indicate a lack of such opportunities ➡️ High dividend paying companies are also typically mature firms which return a larger part of the earnings to the shareholders ➡️ Healthcare are consumer disc. are overweight in dividend and buyback indices but bulk of returns came from big tech ➡️ Within the Mag 7, Apple which has executed the largest buybacks has underperformed the index and it's peers ➡️ Share buybacks are expected to increase over $1 Tn by 2025, with potentially 20% coming from Mag 7 Do you expect this trend to continue?

Why do companies buy their own shares? In the world of business, there is an interesting practice that is often discussed: Companies buy back their own shares. But why do they decide to take this step? Increasing value for shareholders: one of the main reasons why companies buy their own shares is to increase the value per share. When there are fewer shares, earnings per share increase. This is good for shareholders and shows that the company believes in its long-term stability. Managing Excess Cash: Companies that have significant cash reserves face the challenge of how best to use them. Buying back their own shares can be an efficient way to invest excess liquidity and thus increase the value of the company. Higher dividends for shareholders: For companies that pay regular dividends, buying back their own shares can increase dividend yields. Fewer shares mean that profits are divided among fewer shares, which can lead to higher dividends per share. Protection against takeovers: Buying back shares can also be a measure to ward off takeover attempts. If the company has more shares in its hands, it becomes more difficult for potential buyers to take over the company. A signal of confidence to the market: Buying own shares shows the market that the company believes in its own future. This creates confidence among investors and shows that management stands behind the company. Buying their own shares is a complex decision that companies make for a variety of reasons. From value enhancement to capital structure optimization, the motivations can be many. It is a tool that companies use to strengthen their financial stability and promote long-term growth. #stocks #enterprises #companies

If you're looking to invest in stocks, you might want to consider this advice from Charlie Munger: "Over the long term, it's hard for a stock to earn a much better return than the business which underlies it earns." In other words, if a business earns six percent on capital over forty years, you're not going to make much more than a six percent return, even if you bought the stock at a discount. On the other hand, if a business earns eighteen percent on capital over twenty or thirty years, you'll end up with a great result, even if you pay a higher price for the stock. #investingtips #StockMarketAdvice
