Biotech buybacks: good or bad?
Article Abstract:
Experts provide their opinion on buyback undertaken by biotech companies, the reason for which they undertake them and to determine whether they are good or bad. In a buyback, the company takes cash from the company checking account and buys its own shares, which reduces the amount of shares outstanding, so that each shareholder owns a larger percentage of the business.
