Share Repurchase
What does it mean?
A company's plan to buy back its own shares from the marketplace, reducing the number of outstanding shares. Typically, this is an indication that the company's management thinks the shares are undervalued.
In Other Words...
This increases share value because of less supply. It is also great indicator of cash flow strength. When a company does repurchase shares, they will usually state, "we find no better investment than in our own company."
