Stock Repurchase Plan

Stock Repurchase Plan
A stock repurchase plan, also known as a share buyback, is a program by which a corporation buys back its own shares from the open market. Typically deployed when shares are perceived as undervalued, this practice reduces the number of shares outstanding, thus raising earnings per share (EPS) and potentially increasing the market value of the remaining shares.
