    There can be many reasons for a stock buyback. It can both be good and bad for the shareholders. Following can be the possible reasons behind a stock buyback:
    - Buying back stocks can give a boost to the existing poor financial ratios.
    - Company can invest its surplus cash this way
    - It reduces dilution and increases shareholder value
    - Protection against takeover
    In all ways it is somehow good for the shareholders as they get a premium over the current market price of the shares.
