What happens to share buyback
When a company buys its own shares from investors, it is called buyback. You can also consider it the reverse of an IPO. These shares cease to exist after the buyback process is completed. For buyback, mainly two methods – tender offer or open market are used.
Why do companies buyback
The biggest reason for this is the excess cash in the company’s balance sheet. It is not considered good to have too much cash with the company. From this, it is believed that the company is not able to use its cash. The company uses its excess cash through share buybacks. Many times the company feels that its share price is low (undervalued), then it tries to increase it through buyback.
What is the process
First, the company’s board approves the proposal for share buyback. After this, the company announces the program for buyback. It mentions record date and buyback period. Record debt means that the investors who hold shares of the company till that day will be able to participate in the buyback.
Buyback effect on share
The buyback has an impact on the company and its stock in many ways. The number of shares of a company present for trading in the stock market decreases. This increases earnings per share (EPS). The PE of the stock also increases. This does not change the business of the company.
