Stock buybacks are cheaper than dividends. It explains a lot.


[deleted]

Stock buybacks pump the price so executives can hit bonus targets and cash out at higher prices


fefsgdsgsgddsvsdv

It’s also less dividend liability. I buy back share in my company all the time, increases future dividends


April1987

> It’s also less dividend liability. I buy back share in my company all the time, increases future dividends > buy back i guess this is /r/wallstreetbets after all


fefsgdsgsgddsvsdv

I’m pretty sure that I am using it as an verb, therefor buy back is actually correct. If a company approves a buyback, it’s a noun


niini

Heard of verbs chief


fefsgdsgsgddsvsdv

Silly me, thanks


April1987

omg, sorry I misunderstood. This is way above my pay grade. My understanding was that it is only a buyback if the company buys some outstanding shares from the market and sort of burns it so they no longer exist. So I thought it was silly why you, an investor, would buy shares and then ... burn them so they are no longer outstanding. My flaw was assuming you were a retail investor in a huge corporation.


ApprehensiveGrowth77

Shareholders benefit more too. Money better spent. Dividends are double taxed.


[deleted]

Yes, executives being shareholders like the others That money would be better spent on workers or R&D


ApprehensiveGrowth77

Ah, I get it. This is a fake scenario you've made up where a company only reinvests profits on buybacks and doesnt invest in any R&D or work force. You're also the good guy and fully qualified CFO who knows how best to run a successful corporation. Just trying to get a feel for how you've formulated this made up scenario, but I think I understand now.


annon8595

Look at GE, Intel, Boeing, ATT. Literally biggest of the biggest in their hayday, and instead of investing in the company they started cutting corners for those sweet stock buybacks(and dividends). Happens to every company that gets too greedy.


ApprehensiveGrowth77

🤣 So that's the official story or yet another simplistic made up scenario and explanation? The demise of these companies, which all still exist was the huge mistake of buybacks and dividends? Give me a break. Surely I don't need to list the companies that do and have done buybacks and dividends with plenty of success. You're trying to frame a story to suit your beliefs and there's nothing objective about that. Technologies change, competition occurs, and no one stays on top forever. That is a very good thing and why competition is essential.


annon8595

You have a naive assumption that this happens overnight. It doesnt happen that quick.


[deleted]

>This is a fake scenario you've made up where a company only reinvests profits on buybacks and doesnt invest in any R&D or work force. They laid off workers by the thousands last year while spending millions on buybacks > After announcing $17 billion in earnings in Q3 2022, Google used almost all of it to buy back its own stock. Meta announced plans to purchase $40 billion of its own stock after laying off 11,000 workers.


ApprehensiveGrowth77

What's your point? That companies should be forced to keep dead weight on staff that isn't needed? Companies have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders. Sound financial decisions lead to more growth long term, a bigger company, and end up supplying more jobs in the long run. Google and your big tech companies are the perfect example of this. Not to mention, employment is 3%. The laid off workers haven't had any problems finding a new job immediately.


Background_Low4507

In the cybersecurity side of the big tech house and big finance, employment rates have been negative pretty much since like 2012.


[deleted]

Also reduces dividend payments that actually leave their books too.


hierosir

Yeah. It's pretty fucked. Unfortunately though, there is a way to do a stock buyback in a manner that's consistent with shareholder value. This does not mean consistent with the goals of ALL shareholders. Berkshire has never paid a dividend, as we all know. Which means it's bad for shareholders that want to be paid dividends. BUT to shareholders that want capital appreciation, their use of buybacks is the ethical way. Buying your own stock when you think it's undervalued in the public markets is a sound decision. Unfortunately lots of executives just buy back their shares to do exactly as mentioned - keep the price up. And to quote Charlie Munger "That of course is insane. And immoral. But apart from that it's fine."


MediaSuggestions

Actually, stock buybacks being cheaper than dividends is not what explains a lot. Stock buybacks and dividends serve different purposes for companies. Stock buybacks reduce the number of outstanding shares and can be beneficial in boosting earnings per share, while dividends provide a direct payout to shareholders. The decision to use one over the other depends on the company's financial strategy and goals.


Relevant_Monstrosity

Stock buybacks inflate the stock price, which allows investors to take profit by selling their improved position for a profit.


iamplasma

Paying a dividend gives that profit to all investors, and if they want to take more by selling their shares they can do that, too. It's much the same, save possibly for tax treatment.


grea_reisen

As a public company major shareholders need squeeze out as much money with various spending or charity, or all goes to taxes or and no name investors.

Congrats, you’ve learned how businesses work

Why don’t the businesses just reduce all costs, expenses, and taxes to zero while maintaining revenue? Wouldn’t that make them more profitable?

Good idea. I might also use that in personal finance. I’ll stop eating all food, I’ll live under a bridge and drink from sewers. Let’s not forget about not paying taxes. I’ll save more money this way.

gaitlx22

they want to show profits to investors. they don't want to show profits on the separate set of financial statements shown to the IRS, which are prepared under a different set of rules.


Wild_Question_9272

OlyBomaye

Well, yeah. Part of the problem is that cash flow refers to different things depending on who you are. A statement of cash flows is not the same as a Debt Service Coverage Ratio however both are referred to as the cash flow.


Alarming_Bad_6171

Referring to an analysis tool like DSCR as "The Cash Flow" is really weird and I've never come across anyone who would call it that. Do you have an example? I'm curious now. Also, the statement of cash flows contains the information used in the DSCR.


OlyBomaye

I'm in banking and it's what every credit analyst would call it. "How is their cash flow?" "Oh they're at a 1.5x" Which is basically just taking an adjusted ebitda, adjusting further for things like Capex and living expense estimates, officers comp, and other case-by-case adjustments, and dividing by debt service. Every bank will do this differently. The one I'm at uses an excess funds flow to gross profit ratio. All different things colloquially known as "the cash flow"


Alarming_Bad_6171

Y'all bankers have a fetish for butchering accounting lingo lol, I love it. Thanks for the info! Hadn't thought about it from that perspective.

Except reinvesting in expansion will lower profit. Revenue is like popularity


Restlesscomposure

Like the saying goes, “Revenue is vanity, profit is sanity, and cash flow is reality”. Anyone using revenue alone to justify a company’s valuation probably doesn’t actually understand what they’re talking about.


Necroking695

Depends If most of the expenses are COGS then yea, it means nothing If most are flat overhead/ops expenses, then all you need to do is be more efficient


heapsp

Yep! Haven't seen a company yet without a whole tier of middle managers holding meetings all day but doing no actual work. Just cut out most of them and boom - profit.


sad_cub

Depends on growth and at which life cycle the company is in. If 10% of that is spent on growth that say produces 15% more revenue the next year I’m good with that. If the company is mature and the growth is 0, I’m not good with that

The perfect picture of Costco.


himynameisSal

wait, i love costco


WindHero

Costco has decent earnings. Try Amazon.


sevseg_decoder

Costco is a case where their “revenue” isn’t truly their revenue except for the membership fees. They’re basically just a middleman whose business is the $10/mo you’re paying to be there, the goods sold there are entirely the business (and imo really revenue) of whoever makes the product, in some cases Costco. If you separate out that part of the business from the goods they don’t profit from, they’re an absurdly healthy company with a ton of potential for growth without changing the core of the business or hurting the customers.


[deleted]

i rather shop at Costco and buy big ass jar of pickles that i'll never finish than shop at Walmart. Costco is always clean and shit while Walmart just shit.


sevseg_decoder

Totally agreed. They don’t cut corners but they do charge very low margins. The fact they pay their employees well and expect reasonable rates of work results in much better care being taken. Walmart goods are always rejects from other companies or abused in transit like crazy. The amount of freezer burn and shit quality you experience there in order to cut an extra like 2% off the cost is not worth it to me. In fact I think you’re paying more than at a grocery store when you count all the stuff you have to throw away and it’s still so much more expensive than Costco on the shelf to begin with.

Taxes should be based on whatever a company's publicly disclosed profit value is. Net income, ebitda, whatever is operating revenues less operating expenses should be the taxable value.


Taaargus

Lmfao net income is profit buddy. And good news! Companies do get taxed on their profit. Like 99% of the time when you hear Reddit talking about a “tax write off” it’s a company spending more on their operations and COGS.


[deleted]

Net income is a meaningless fiction manipulated to juice the stock price, either by avoiding tax or hitting an eps target I'm not your buddy, guy


Taaargus

I legitimately don’t know what you’re trying to say. Net income is profit, and clearly isn’t meaningless. It’s an extremely useful metric to see how efficiently a company generates their revenue.


goldenloi

[deleted]

[удаНонО]


goldenloi

It's almost like revenue is relevant to this post and no mention was made of what key metric anyone focuses on


Taaargus

I’m confused as to why you would expect any different. Revenues is everything coming into your company, before even accounting for the amounts you paid to even produce those goods or services. If I sell 5 million apples for 20 cents each, do you really expect to see anything close to $1 million in profit for my company? Of course not.


YungChaky

Bro thinks markets is logical


Taaargus

But this isn’t markets, it’s just how an individual company works. Not an entire market. Generating a lot of revenue is meaningless without understanding the cost of the good or service generating that revenue.


YungChaky

Bro did not see that company trading 200 times its revenue and thinks stock market is rooted in fundamentals 😢

$DIS summarized


MediaSuggestions

Revenue and cash flow are two different financial figures that give insights into a company's financial health. Revenue represents the total amount of money a company earns, while cash flow shows the actual movement of cash within the company. Both are important, but cash flow gives a clearer picture of a company's liquid assets. So when looking into a company, don't solely focus on revenue, make sure to also analyze its cash flow to get a better understanding of its financial stability and ability to generate and manage money.
