The 2022 Qantas share buy-back of up to $400m was announced 25/8/22 and commenced 12/9/22.
The plan should cancel around 100m shares, a very small proportion of the 1.9b on issue.
Share buybacks benefit the shareholder by increasing their ownership stake and unlike dividends which also benefit shareholders, a buyback is considerably more lucrative for execs who are often compensated with share options.
The results announcement which included the buy-back resulted in a considerable jump in the share price, and while for most of this year QAN had been loosely tracking the broader US market & the AUD, it seems to have diverged for now.
The buyback is 16 days in and this table shows the progress so far:
The actual rate of progress will gain clarity as time goes on, but this is the current projection:
