Companies buy back their own shares to keep up or further boost the share price, by reducing the number of shares in circulation; this approach is also sometimes undertaken to reduce the total number of shareholders in a company, or to use uninvested cash held by the company.

During a buy-back, the company pays participating shareholders the market value per share.
