''using net assets to buy the shares then that element of the valuation ''

A share repurchase reduces shareholders' equity by the same amount on the liabilities side of the balance sheet.

Buybacks re slice the pie of profits into fewer slices, giving more to remaining investors.

The market decides on a daily basis the value of Vodafone, which currently is at about £17.8 Billion.

A low valuation whilst the buyback programmes are in operation is of benefit to shareholders in for the longer ride - the more shares bought and cancelled the better

stop the nonsense which is absolutely NO response to what I posted.

I will repeat -

Buybacks are a return to shareholders by way of reducing shareholder capital and thus increasing a shareholders percentage ownership.

A low valuation whilst the buyback programmes are in operation is of benefit to shareholders in for the longer ride.

''Buybacks generally depress a shares SP, they also never ( rarely ) show any real benefit''

''It is not creating shareholder value.''

Once again, you are completely clueless on this matter.

VOD up and back at the 70p level

3I Group reached yet another all time high

IMB reached yet another 6 year high

SAGA ended up again following last weeks update - (big intraday move up from market affected days low)

LLOY a little bit better priced (every little helps) ahead of any buyback news with results - market cap at a low £37.23 Billion

That should not be allowed onshore, and now polluting the air.

''it does not mean that equation is what the market would determine if that amount of shares were still in issue.''

you are making yourself look totally DUMB.

what is it you do not understand?

Based on the current market cap without buybacks and with 76,819,810,491 shares in issue the share price would be 49.3p

''As per LTI’s historic posts, the Market decides the Share Price of any given share at any given time''

Yes , the market has determined a price of 62.34p per share to end the week.

Based on the current market cap without buybacks the share price would be 49.3p

Without buybacks there would be 76,819,810,491 shares in issue.

Without buybacks based on the current market cap the share price would be

You have lost the plot as others do, and you call yourselves investors.

You need to separate the performance of an index like the FTSE100 with the performance of an economy of the country in which the stock exchange is based . In the case of the Ftse100 most of the business earnings are from overseas

re 9:53

How many more times are you going to repeat the nonsense? - it must be at least 50 times by now.

it is much easier to stick to the facts rather than your endless given story.

A total of 16,066,307,697 shares have been bought and cancelled.

Based on the current market cap, with those additional shares in issue the share would be 49.28p

''interest rates are unlikely to fall any time soon ''

MPC are expected to reduce the base rate net week

''It really just helps the dividend yield''

how long have you been investing for - but still clueless

''in theory" buybacks increase the SP but I've been investing for 35 years and I have never seen it work like that. Never''

You are either blind or a bad picker of stocks.

An example, LLOYDS BANK - current share 62.24p

Without buybacks at the current market cap, the price per share would have been 49.28p

LLOY
