One question I have is about the timing of the orders: If an investor wanted to buy a large amount of a company's stock, they'd be careful to try to not drive up the price for themselves (I would think.) But a company doing buybacks sorta wants to drive the price up. To what extent are they trying to get the best deal?
I suppose it's a matter of if they are favoring their future share holders or the ones selling.
- chii 5y agoThere's no favouring. The price is determined by the market - if a large enough buy order comes, it will move the market, whether it's from the company itself, or the general public.
