A buyback stock is stock in a company that buys back a significant number of its own shares. For 50 years, buyback stocks have outperformed the market – sometimes spectacularly so. Here are some examples of how much stocks can go up during a buyback.

Why Buyback Stocks Perform So Spectacularly
When companies buy back their own stocks, it reflects an enormous vote of confidence in the stock by those who know it best – the company’s senior executives. No one else knows more about the firm’s financial situation, its market share, business plans, research and development programs or new products. However, those executives aren’t talking; they usually keep their plans, tactics and research behind closed doors. But a stock buyback tips you off that the stock is primed to go up.
