A record $319b of share buybacks have been authorized this year, according to Goldman Sachs data, with a rising number of companies using “accelerated” deals to buy volumes as quickly as possible while their share prices are depressed. There were $267b in share buybacks at the same point in 2021.
“The breadth of different industry groups buying stock is the highest we’ve seen in a few years, and volumes have increased,” said Michael Voris, Goldman Sachs’ head of structured equity. “That’s much more due to the market backdrop as opposed to anything else.”
