buyback

In recent years, buyback programs have become one of the growth drivers of U.S. stock markets, creating demand and reducing supply. Corporations have proved to be quite prominent buyers on stock exchanges, and the number of shares outstanding has declined. The year 2021 was no exception. Thanks to the growth of buyback programs, U.S. stock markets were able to reach record highs. Since the beginning of last year, the S&P 500 rose 25% and broke its records 67 times.
