Corporate stock buybacks are an important driver of equity market returns, but their real impact for shareholders is often misunderstood. When companies repurchase their own stock, they return capital to shareholders by lowering their outstanding share count and boosting earnings per share (EPS).
However, buybacks can also be controversial. Some investors believe they can affect companies' health over the long term by diverting cash away from investments in areas like research and development and employee compensation.
It's critical for investors to understand why companies use stock buybacks, as well as the potential benefits and risks of doing so. This information is key for evaluating whether a stock buyback program aligns with shareholder interests or if it's a short-sighted, risky move.

They are going for a DELISTING bro. No doubt that LOFC is the dominant force in micro finance. No banks or NBFI can beat their ROE. Maybe they want to keep this private and feed the entire group through this.
