Screens / share-buyback-stocks
Share buyback stocks, screened for a share count falling over five years
465 companies match this screen, screened 17 Oct 2026.
This screen measures the share count, not the announcement. Two filters have to agree: the annualised change in shares outstanding over five years has to be at least 1% down, and the count has to still be lower than the weighted average in the last annual filing. One leg alone is not enough — a five-year figure can be distorted by a stock split the stored row has not been re-adjusted for, and a single-filing figure catches one quarter of noise. The realised buyback return in the next column compares the average price paid for the retired shares against the current price, and it is negative for plenty of large programmes.

Every criterion above is available on its own in the screener, in any combination and at any threshold. This page is one saved filter set, not a different data source.
Open these filters in the screener — runs over the S&P 500 and FTSE 100Scores are computed from filed accounts and change when a company files. This page states what it filtered on and shows what came back. It is not advice, and no row on it is a selection.
