ADTM - Guide to Share Repurchase

When a company repurchases its own stock
the outstanding shares decrease.

Outstanding Shares cannot exceed total Authorized Shares.


Authorized Shares
the maximum number of shares
the corporation is legally permitted to issue.

Guide to Share Repurchase

A share repurchase is a program by which
a company buys back its own shares from the marketplace,
usually because management thinks the shares are undervalued,
reducing the number of outstanding shares.


The company buys shares directly from the market
or offers its shareholders the option
of tendering their shares directly to the company
at a fixed price.

Because a share repurchase
reduces the number of shares outstanding,
it increases earnings per share
and elevates the market value of the remaining shares.


After repurchase, the shares are canceled
or held as treasury shares,

so they are no longer held publicly
and are not outstanding.
