Buybacks refer to a company's repurchase of its own shares from the market, typically to increase shareholder value by reducing the number of outstanding shares. In trading, buybacks are seen as a signal that the company believes its stock is undervalued. Traders may view buybacks as a positive indicator of financial health, which can influence stock prices. Companies often use buybacks to boost earnings per share (EPS) or to offset dilution from stock options and employee compensation programs.
