OCBC and Sembcorp Industries lead Q1 buyback considerations

What Is a Buyback?

A buyback is when a corporation purchases its own shares in the stock market.

A repurchase reduces the number of shares outstanding, thereby inflating (positive) earnings per share and, often, the value of the stock.

A share repurchase can demonstrate to investors that the business has sufficient cash set aside for emergencies and a low probability of economic troubles.
