What is a stock buyback?
Stock repurchase refers to the act of a listed company using cash or the like to repurchase a certain amount of shares issued by the company from the stock market. The company may cancel the repurchased shares after the stock repurchase is completed. This will reduce the number of stocks that are out of circulation by enterprises, thereby achieving positive effects such as market value management, equity incentives, and stabilizing stock prices.
