From Copilot,
Investors generally view share buybacks in a positive light for several reasons:

1...Risk Perception: Share buybacks are seen as less risky compared to investing in research and development or acquiring competitors.
As long as the company continues to grow, buybacks are considered a profitable action.

2...Future Appreciation: Investors interpret share buybacks as a positive sign for future stock appreciation.
When a company repurchases its own shares, it signals confidence in its financial health and prospects.

3...Improved Shareholder Value: Buybacks can enhance earnings per share (EPS), which is a common measure of stock performance.
Although this mechanically boosts EPS, it doesn’t necessarily create fundamental value. However, investors often perceive it as a positive move.

4...Capital Structure and Signals: A buyback’s impact on share price comes from changes in the company’s capital structure and the signals it sends.
Investors appreciate that excess cash isn’t being wasted on unwise acquisitions or poor capital expenditures.

LOOK at NST - its Shareprice rose from around $7 to over $13 during their recent BuyBack period/announcement of their $300m and they still have $131M of that money to spend.....just think about those percentages!
And their reduction of SOI.

Hope this helps, Braunie,
All the best...
Stay positive, BEACON has a bright future.
PS... We better buy more shares before the companyLOOK decides to go down the BUYBACK path....Hopefully i'll break even near 3.3c
