Buybacks

Buyback Yield measures how much a company reduces its outstanding shares through repurchases, expressed as a percentage.

This metric directly reflects the company’s efforts to return value to shareholders. By reducing the number of shares, buybacks can increase earnings per share and potentially boost the stock's price.
