Share buybacks are a corporate action where a company repurchases its own outstanding shares from the open market or directly from shareholders. Reasons for buybacks often include improving financial ratios like earnings per share (EPS), returning surplus cash to shareholders, and increasing shareholder value. By reducing the number of outstanding shares, each remaining share represents a larger percentage of ownership in the company, which can potentially lead to an increase in share price.
Investors holding Onward Technologies shares should note the record date to understand their eligibility for participating in this attractive buyback offer.
