Since July of last year, under regulatory encouragement, the repurchase efforts of listed companies have significantly increased. Through interviews and sorting, the journalist found that some new signals of repurchase are emerging. First of all, looking at the overall repurchase scale of listed companies, the year-on-year increase is significant, and the month-on-month trend is stable, and buybacks have gradually entered a stable and high position. Secondly, from the perspective of repurchasing companies, those teetering on the edge of face value and market cap delisting red lines, as well as those who have been "wearing hats," have joined the repurchase team. Among them, some companies have implemented repurchase recommendations from investment banks in order to achieve self-rescue by responding to policy calls. Moreover, with regard to the purpose of the repurchase, there has been a significant increase in cancellation-based repurchases. After the 2024 Spring Festival, repurchases for the purpose of cancellation have increased significantly. For example, companies such as East Money Information, which have already announced repurchase plans, have changed the purpose of the repurchase to cancellation. In addition, the pace of repurchase implementation has accelerated, with more than 3500 listed companies adding new repurchase plans during the year 2024, of which more than 1500 have been formally implemented.
