What happens if you own stock before a stock repurchase and do not sell any of your stock?
If the company decides to repurchase stocks, the number of shares outstanding is reduced. If you don't sell your stocks your interest in the company is increased for your stocks make up a higher percentage of all outstandig stocks. Stock repurchases are often performed by companies whose earnings growth is mediocre in order to increase earnings per share. This factor influences stock prices, so stock repurchases are often welcomed by investors. Companies also decide to repurchase stocks because the increase in the value of your stocks is not taxable, unlike dividend payments. If a company sells new shares the earnings per share are reduced, which often affects stock prices in a negative way. In order to maintain your stake, you have to buy new shares, if not, your stake becomes lower. If the sale of new stocks is necessary because of aquisitions this is much more favorable instead of capital that is raised in order to pay debts because this would not likely increase per share earnings.
