- _Why should my corporation buy back its own shares?_
- When your corporation buys back its own shares, those shares are
- taken out of circulation. The total number of shares is reduced and
- the ownership percentage of the existing shareholders increases.
- This action can strengthen the ownership of existing shareholders
- in the corporation and reduce the risk of a hostile takeover.
-
- Buying back your corporation's own shares also has a positive
- effect on the earnings per share, which in turn has a positive
- effect on the stock price. If a company buys back half its shares
- and its overall earnings stay the same, the earnings per share
- double.
