Companies in the Russell 3000 have unveiled plans to buy back more than $600bn in shares this year, in line with last year’s record pace. In all, they announced $1.27trn of share repurchases and completed $1.05trn in #buybacks in 2022, both all-time highs.

Is a stock buyback guaranteed to increase market cap?

Alternative form of the question: Is it always possible for a corporation to use it's insider knowledge to time its stock buybacks so as to increase its own market cap? And if so, why isn't that an illegal form of creating fake value?

I can understand that fewer shares reduce the supply and increase the stock market price, but what is really going on there?

Ordinary people are being squeezed and their money is transferred into Big #Oil's very fat profits. Big Oil funnels this into share #buybacks, meaning shareholders gain.

it's not surprising that "The Market" rewards the oil companies and share prices are rising.

But who is "The Market"? Or rather, who's left in the #FossilFuel market? Anyone who can see the future stranding of these assets has already left for more renewable shores.

Wahnsinn. #Apple hat in den letzten 10 Jahren #Aktien im Wert von 566 Milliarden Dollar zurückgekauft, was mehr ist als die Marktkapitalisierung von 494 Unternehmen im S&P 500. Der Gewinn je Aktie schaut dann natürlich immer gut aus ;)

2023 könnte erneut ein Rekordjahr für die #Buybacks (#Aktienrückkäufe) werden. Stets eine Stütze für den #Aktienmarkt.

@maxkennerly Buybacks have the same effect as dividends, with different tax treatment. It's not fooliah for shareholders to want some capital returned to them, or for companies to realise that they don't have unlimited good uses for capital.

#buybacks, a practice where companies repurchase their own stock, have been increasing in the #UK and #euroarea - Over the past year, the pace of buybacks in these regions has been higher than in the last 20y, chart @GoldmanSachs

A strike may end up the only final solution to bring power to the workers. When government sides with the business it sends the message that disruption is more serious than the lives of the blue-collar employees. The decimation of the middle class at the short term advantage of the business barons has lead to the failure of the American promise. We need to be serious in order to rebalance the class system.
