- missedthecue 4y agoShare buybacks and acquisitions come from post profit money, not pre profit, so they won't impact the margin. They're not a line item in operating expenses. Bonuses and other remuneration will, but no executives are getting $5 billion annual bonuses there and ~$million bonuses won't move the needle.
