Buy back option


3 Answer(s)


Hi Tina
Reasons for buy back are:
1.If according to a company its shares are undervalued in the market, then it would repurchase a part of its own shares at a higher price from the market, so that after buyback the price would go up.
2.In case a company has got accumulated cash reserves it would use them to repurchase a part of its own shares at a higher price from the market.This has a dual impact: One is the company has reinvested its reserves in itself and the other is the outstanding shares in the maket comes down thereby the company's EPS also increases.
