Buy Back

The purchase by a company of its own shares in the market in the belief that they are undervalued and will be a better investment than investing in the company. Buy backs reduce the number of shares in the market and increase the value of the remaining ones. Also known as a share repurchase. It effectively returns to the shareholders cash held in the reserves, which already belongs to them.
