Share buybacks on the rise

PETALING JAYA: Share buybacks are on the rise among public-listed companies as they look to support the market price of their own companies amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

While dividends and capital appreciation may be one of the ways for a company to reward its shareholders, share buybacks can be another option, particularly when the company’s share price has dropped significantly.
