Dated last Friday! Timely.
A follow-up article from the same magazine: >https://www.moneyobserver.com/news/are-share-buybacks-plundering-company-resources
Thanks. I see that opinions still abound.
The confounding part should be that a buyback is right
for one company, given its circumstance, and not right
for another (ditto).
Here in the US, we presently have Trump's tariff games
further screwing up the meaning of indicators.
Quarterly GNP growth was last reported as being at an
annual 4.1% rate. However, one noted observer says that 1
point of that is due to increasied exports of soy beans ...
as foreigners hurried to beat the tariff date. (So, it should
be followed by a dip.) I would guess than another point
should be due to a one-time stimulus from increasing the
annual budget deficit by a trillion, but no one is mentioning
that.
