Buyback of shares

Some people see a buyback as a way for a company to invest in itself by buying back shares from people who have bought them on the market. The amount of shares that are available on the market goes down during buybacks. This is an important way for companies to restructure.

A company's "buyback" gives people a sense that the company believes in itself. This is generally good for the share price, but as with everything else in the market, you should always look at why the company is doing what it is doing.
