3 Stocks Sending a Strong Signal With Massive Buybacks

Three leading companies announced substantial share buyback programs; one energy company disclosed repurchase capacity approaching 20% of its market capitalization. The scale of the energy repurchase gives management meaningful flexibility to return capital, is likely to be EPS-accretive, and should provide support to the stock. These announcements are shareholder-friendly and likely to move the individual equities, but do not constitute a market-wide event.
