Here is a reason more stock buybacks could occur before the end of the year:

“In President Biden’s roughly $2 trillion Build Back Better Act, which narrowly passed the House on Friday but faces a tough fight in the Senate, Democrats have proposed a 1 percent tax on stock buybacks.”

The vote is due in 10 days, therefore the explanation that doing a share buyback prior to the signing of the bill makes the most sense since the 1% tax would likely not be retroactive to previous share purchases.
