Stock Buybacks

Stock buybacks, also known as share repurchases, occur when a company purchases its own shares from the open market. By reducing the number of shares outstanding, buybacks can increase earnings per share and often signal management’s confidence in the company’s future. Investors frequently view buybacks as a shareholder-friendly use of excess cash, particularly when management believes the stock is undervalued. However, the long-term impact depends on the company’s financial health and the price paid for the shares.

Notes:
If a stock/share/price shows N/A, this mostly means that the company is defunct for various reasons (bankruptcy, buyout, ticker change)
You can easily filter them out, but we leave it in the sheets because of reference and historical value
Due to the systematic reuse of defunct company tickers, please be aware that in older sheets, companies may be mismatched!
